As of now Ford India does not have a plan for Freestyle AT. If at all happens, it should be in 2020. This is very authentic information.

Well if that's the case, more power to Ford
Figo will become the only budget option for enthusiasts with 6 airbags!
In addition to the auto, is 1.5NA Dragon in the petrol variant too much to ask for

The suffix Blu is creating confusion. Usually blue/blu is associated with hybrids. Choosing such a suffix for a sportier version of the car, seems surprising to me. Figo S, I think this name is well versed among the customers by now, why should they change it as this name itself is sufficient for marketing.

re: Scoop! Ford Figo facelift spotted. EDIT: Launched @ Rs. 5.15 lakhs

The top end looks really nice in my opinion, not sure why they'd name it 'Blu' though. Maybe the earlier reports are to be blamed but it actually sounds like a CNG variant.
On another note; Ford has really good taste when it comes to designing sportier variants, but then why do they add these tiny bits which look out of place in some of their cars? Those blue fog lamp surrounds do not go well with other blackened parts at all, so is the case with that Black and Blue vinyl on the boot. I hope they get out of this vinyl craze soon and stop sticking it to the special variants, definitely do not want them going sticker-crazy like Suzuki.

re: Scoop! Ford Figo facelift spotted. EDIT: Launched @ Rs. 5.15 lakhs

It is disappointing to see the lack of Sync3 in the Figo. While touchscreen is still a draw for many people, it is only the touchscreens with Apple Carplay and Android Auto that excites people nowadays. While some enthusiasts may still go for the car, especially the diesel, the value seeking customers(mostly non-enthusiasts) who may be willing to give Ford a chance will definitely be disheartened by the lack of this feature and will continue to gravitate towards cars like the Swift, the Grand i10 and the Baleno. Good to see that 6 airbags are still available on this car.

While the car still looks smart, I am unable to imagine how those blue inserts will look like on colours other than white. I feel that the blue variant may only be available in the white shade(or black as well) or they will not offer the blue inserts with the other shades. I feel that it is going to be the former.

A screengrab of specsheet from this video. It shows 1.5L AT present in the Figo only in titanium, but no Sync 3 or fully loaded AT.

ESP+TCS+HLA available only in AT. Blu seems to be the top end with 6 airbags but missing other safety features. Why would they name it blue and not continue with usual Figo S?


Am unable to figure out unless AT & all black interior is a mandatory requirement, why would one go for this? This needs to be priced decently lower than freestyle to make a case for itself.

No automatic in Blu variant. Only Titanium gets AT with ESP,TC and HLA. But Blu gets six airbags.

Aspire was crash tested by GNCAP and it scored three out of five stars for adult safety. Here is video of the same.

Ford is also referred to as Blue Oval ( IBM as Big Blue Company). So its no surprise they name their variant by that color.

I think this was for the older version. The new version was launched in October 2018. The new version is using better metal sheet and thicker one compared to the outgoing model. (This is what I heard from Ford team)

re: Scoop! Ford Figo facelift spotted. EDIT: Launched @ Rs. 5.15 lakhs

I am puzzled by Ford's top most variant called Titanium Blu - While the base ambiente variant gets electric boot release, the top most variant misses on the awesome Sync 3 enabled touchscreen infotainment system.
Did Ford think that adding some decals and leather steering wrap will compensate for it? Android Auto and Apple Car play are now expected from top trims which come with touchscreen systems.
Common Ford - why make such blunders and lose out on sales.
Look at your competitors - Lesser power, lower build quality, but bang on features and feel good factor cabin and they are posting far higher sales numbers.
You badly need to hire some product planners.
