Ford Figo Hatchback 2015 expected launch in India by MAR 2015

Ford India is prepping an all-new model of its flagship, Figo hatchback. This new model was recently previewed in India as the Ford Ka Concept at the 2014 Delhi Motor Show. Internally known as the B562 the new Figo / Ka will be rolled out from Ford’s upcoming facility in Sanand, Gujarat by the end of 2014 or early 2015. 

The all-new Figo hatchback will come with an updated styling based on Ford’s global design language with the refreshed hexagonal grille in the front - that looks similar to the one seen on Aston Martins. The new Figo hatchback / Ka underpins the Mk5 Fiesta platform and features design cues like the LED headlamps, bumpers and others with the Ford Mondeo and the Focus. The roofline headed towards the trunk lid with pronounced lines creates a sense of dynamism. The rear end of the car features a spoiler and large tail lamps.
 



We expect the new Figo to be powered by the 1.0-litre EcoBoost turbo petrol engine and a 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine. These engines currently power the new Fiesta and the EcoSport SUV in the Indian market. Both engines will come mated to a 5-Speed manual transmission. Automatic gearbox could also be offered in the top-end variants.
