After the
launch of Figo Aspire compact sedan in India, Ford is geared up to launch the
Figo hatch by the end of September or early October 2015. The new Figo gets
dynamic styling, the Aston Martin grill is the highlighting feature.
The current
generation Figo gave a breather to Ford India when launched in 2010. Ford had
almost hit the bottom of sales in India and thanks to Figo which pumped lot of
faith in the company. The new Figo is likely to carry on the legacy of its
predecessor. The rear power window issue has been addressed in the new Figo.

such as Ford SYNC infotainment system, Ford MyKey, and automatic climate control
will be borrowed to the Figo hatch as well. Top of the line Titanium+ variant will get ABS and EBD as standard.
