Ford India has discontinued Figo
hatch, Fiesta sedan and Fiesta Classic from Indian market. The Figo will be
replace by the next generation model, the Figo Aspire will take up the Fiesta
Classic position and the Fiesta sedan’s discontinuation is a surprise.
The Figo has been a trump
card for Ford as it bought back the Ford Motor Company into the Indian
automotive map. Figo was a no nonsense car and was an able competitor to the
Swift. The lack of rear power windows was a letdown, but in other aspects the
Figo gave a run for its money for Swift. Though it had dated looks, the
practicality and road manners won lots of hearts of young Indians who liked the
performance of the vehicle and also the competitive pricing.
The Fiesta Classic which was
earlier named as Fiesta was a good product from Ford. The fuel efficiency of
the car got laurels to it and so do the practicality. However with the launch
of new cars in the segment pushed this Ford’s beauty into the dark.
