In a bid to increase its market share in the Indian market, Ford is planning to launch a bunch of new cars next year. Of all the cars that the company will launch, new-gen Ford Figo and the Figo-based sub-compact sedan will be the first two. In fact, the company has already brought both of these products to India for R&D purpose. Both the cars have already been launched in the Brazilian market as KA hatchback and KA+ compact sedan.
New- Gen Ford Figo:Expected to be launched in India by the second quarter of 2015, the new-gen Ford Figo is already on sale in the Brazilian market. The car shares a great resemblance to the concept model unveiled earlier this year, except for the changes made to the grille. While the concept had chrome plated horizontal slats, the production version has a honeycomb grille. The head-lights also receive different mirror element, though the overall design remains unchanged. The new Figo might continue with the existing engine options - 1.4-litre diesel and 1.2-litre petrol in India.

Expected Price: Rs. 4.50 lakh - Rs. 7 lakh
Ford Figo Sedan:
Unveiled as a concept, right ahead of the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo, the Ford Figo's production version was launched in Brazil as KA+ sedan earlier this year. The Brazilian model measures over 4 metres in length, though the Indian-spec model will be a sub-4 metre one in order to avail excise duty benefits. The car is likely to be made available with a 1.0-litre petrol (possibly the 1.0-litre EcoBoost) and a 1.5-litre diesel engine options. Except for the length, both the Brazilian and India-bound versions appear similar.
