Safety and After Sales Service – The 2019 Ford Figo comes with dual front airbags on the base and mid variants and 6 airbags on the top variant. It also gets standard ABS with EBD, high-speed alert, seatbelt reminder and reverse parking sensors with a camera. The automatic also comes with ESP, TCS and HLA. The Figo scored a crash test rating of 3 stars in Latin NCAP tests. In terms of service, while Ford’s service network isn’t as widespread as Maruti or Hyundai, the company does have good reach across the country. The automaker is also promising low maintenance costs and with their child parts policy, part replacements are also easy on the pocket. Ford is also offering a standard 5 year warranty now.
Verdict – The 2019 Ford Figo feels like a highly improved product over its predecessor. It has better styling elements, more features, better petrol engines and continues to retain the fun to drive factor. The diesel engine is also very impressive and the Figo is one such car where all 3 engines offer good performance. Just like the Aspire and Endeavour, Ford has reduced the prices of the Figo with the launch of the facelift and that makes it an even better value proposition. The Ford Figo is a very nice alternative to its rivals and there’s nothing major to dislike about this car.
