Having gained massive success with the Figo and EcoSport in India, Ford is looking to hit a home run yet again with its third mass market product the ‘Figo Aspire’ that will be launched in the following weeks. The Figo Aspire is being offered with a 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options available in four variants, while a 1.5-litre petrol with a dual-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission is available only in the top Titanium trim. With the compact sedan looking very promising, here is a variant wise break up of all features on the Figo Aspire.

In terms of features, the mid variant gets all the features of the Ambiente trim and is further added with a tachometer, front and rear power windows, MyFord Dock unit, audio system with radio, AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity (No CD player); 4 speakers (2 front, 2 rear) and a 2 line MFD screen. Safety features remain the same as the Ambiente trim.

The audio system is the same as the Trend variant, but there are more safety features on offer including ABS and EBD; ESP, TCS and HLA (only on the AT version); perimeter alarm, height adjustable front seat belts and driver seatbelt reminder.

Ford’s first sub 4-metre compact sedan globally, the Figo Aspire will go on sale next month and is being produced at the automaker’s new Sanand plant in Gujarat. Dealerships have also commenced accepting bookings for the new model ahead of launch. Given the strong lineup of engines and features, pricing will be a key factor in determining the fate of this model and we expect the Figo Aspire to come with a starting price of Rs. 5 lakhs (ex-showroom).
