Ford has introduced the new updates especially the BS6-compliant engines for three of its cars including the Figo hatchback, the Freestyle cross-hatch, and the Aspire compact sedan.
rnThe company has also added new things to its equipment list of the new Figo which is expected to be priced between Rs 5.39-7.85 lakh.rnrnFord has also added a new, lower-spec Trend trim level for petrol and diesel variants. Because of the up-gradation of the powertrains as well as the new features, the prices for the petrol variants of the car will be increased by about Rs 16,000-30,000 while the diesel variants are dearer by approximately Rs 26,000-30,000, as compared to the BS4 models.rnrnWith a shift to using the BS6 technology, the petrol engine variant will produce the same 96hp power, but the torque will be declined by 1Nm to 119Nm. The diesel engine variant will produce 100hp power and 215Nm of torque. The gearbox options have been limited to only a 5-speed manual transmission.rnrnFuel efficiency has also been declined due to the use of cleaner emissions. The petrol variant is now rated at 18.5kpl and the diesel one gives a claimed mileage of 24.4kpl.rnrnWhen it comes to the features, the car was earlier equipped with traction control, electronic stability program and hill-start assist but these features are not available anymore as they had been offered on the petrol-automatic combination which has been discontinued now. But Ford has brought its ‘FordPass’ car connectivity tech across the whole Figo range as a standard feature. This feature is equipped with various functions including remote lock/unlock, vehicle locator, vehicle health alerts and many others using our smartphones.rnrn
