If you remember, we at DWS had speculated upon Ford Figo prices a few days back – but the guys at Ford have got it still better and very competitive indeed.

The other players in this segment include the Maruti Suzuki Swift which leads in the number game and the Suzuki Ritz, Hyundai i10 which is priced similarly.

The top-end Ford Figo models (petrol one, priced Rs 4.43 lakhs and diesel one, priced Rs 5.29 lakhs) come pretty close and overlap the price of even Hyundai’s premium hatchback i20 – whose base petrol models are priced at Rs 4.9 lakh (even though the diesel models cost around Rs 7 lakh).

The Tata Indica Vista, Fiat Punto, Volkswagen Polo, GM’s Chevrolet Beat and Chevy U-VA, Skoda Fabia are some of the other small cars in India which might be threatened by some variant or other of the Ford Figo.

Ford had recently created a stir in the industry by opening 28 new showrooms and service centres across India just to gear up for the Figo. Attractively priced the Ford Figo holds the key to success for Ford in India. We at DWS would be covering the Mumbai launch of the Figo which happens tomorrow and meeting the Key officials from Ford to get and insight of Ford India’s plans for the Figo.

Ford Figo’s petrol and diesel engines and fuel efficiency

The new 1.2-litre petrol engine of the Ford Figo delivers 71.35 PS @ 6250 rpm and 102 Nm @ 4000 rpm.

What could be better

A little more power would be nice, we think. Remember that the Suzuki Swift has been around for a long time, and offered 85 bhp from the very beginning and still was extremely popular.

Car manufacturers obviously disagree with us there – they wold prefer to ensure that there are no complaints on the mileage / fuel efficiency front at all, and have kept the horsepower ratings to just adequate. Can’t blame them, considering the competition in the small car market in India!
