Team-BHP - 2019 Ford Figo Facelift : Official Review

I was thinking the same. With all affinity for a ford engine and driving dynamics, I am somehow having an uneasy feeling when I consider trend diesel (or even petrol for that matter) that apparently does not even have central locking (from what i saw in cardekho features). Skoda rapid is a value for money buy although its service experience is something to think of before purchasing. I wish ford gave atleast basic features. With its engine and service experience, it would have a been a great buy.

There is an accessory for underbody protection for Figo. The cost listed on Ford Website is around Rs. 4300/-. I own a Figo S (2019) and contemplating this to make sure the engine is protected from stones, road chips and rodents. Someone who has used or know about the usage, please help with pros, cons and need to have it installed. The mentioned accessory is for the new facelifted Figo, however I feel there is no difference in the car dimensions so it should fit the previous Figo as well.

The underbody protection will definitely fit your Figo S as well since the car is the same as the latest one. I got it fitted in my EcoSport at the time of delivery itself, it definitely protects the underbody and is worth it. Also it protects from rats and other small animals from entering the engine bay (provides around 70% protection from small animals, they can still get in from smaller nooks and corners).

Hi CEF_Beasts

Is the underbody protection available for both petrol and diesel variants of EcoSport or is it specific to only diesel variant?
I have a petrol variant 2019 model.

Yes, it’s available as an official accessory by Ford for both petrol and diesel models.

I am not sure if I answered your same query sometime ago, or another members. This won't fit the pre-facelift Figo/Aspire.
I had visited their parts depot when this part was introduced since I wanted it on my Aspire S. They will check the part number against the VIN of your car in the database, and it will show there if it is compatible or not. This wasn't.

How is your Aspire S doing? Almost half a lakh milestone it must have reached by now. Any parts changed, like clutch?
My Figo S post Wolf has got better. There are those moments where you want the car to not have so much power however overall I like the way it pulls, almost like a locomotive. Planning to get her detailed post monsoon, good seat covers and an amplifier with good speakers.

Yes, mostly the reason.

I haven't been using it much because of being at home. I started taking it once in few week for a highway run to recharge myself as well as the car.
It has not done 30k yet. Only the brake pads were replaced in the last annual service although it had life left.

I'll be getting the down pipe sometime in the next one year as I identified a place that does it close to me. After that will get another suitable map by WM.

Waiting for your system upgrade.

Hey man, i think you got the features a bit wrong.
I would say head to the official site and check out the original brochure for the feature list. and yes the trend variant does have central locking.
Thanks.

And I bought My 2017 Aspire Titanium TDCi @ 8.35L (ON ROAD) including 5 years warranty extension pack & that non sense essential kit along with Zero Dep Insurance.

Right now, without discount, it's not possible to even get Figo TDCi Titanium at that price !!

Ford is cashing in our enthusiasm for its TDCi for sure.

Now coming to Skoda Rapid. Awesome driving dynamics, impressive performance & better built than Ford.

Definitely rider & rider plus variants are just stunningly well priced value for money deal. Even they are running good discount on all other higher variants but there is one thing which this TSi can't much. Stunning fuel economy. No matter how ruthless you are with TDCi, you can't bring it below 20kmpl (highways), even with full load & AC at full blast.

Try that with TSi.

Hello All,

Our Figo TDCI has completed 44531km and is 4.5years old now. Of course due to the lockdown it has hardly been driven for 1000km in the last 7months.
Yesterday I got the Ford doorstep service done from PPS Ford.
He replaced the Engine oil, oil filter, gasket drain plug and the Air filter.
He also performed an inspection and noted that the Thermostat housing is leaking coolant.
Normally I keep a track of the fluid levels but since the car was very sparsely driven during the lockdown, I also lost track.
He filled the coolant reservoir with water and it took about a liter of water!
He asked to get the Thermostat housing inspected at the workshop as they can perform a leak test by pressurizing the reservoir and checking if there are any leaks.
He said it will become a serious issue soon.
I'm a bit hesitant to go to the service center myself as the closest and the best one is in a very crowded neighborhood. Also I prefer staying at the SVC next to the car while the work is being performed.
Here is a photo I took of the leak. Would appreciate if someone can gauge the seriousness of the issue and does it require immediate resolution?
If it is serious I'll go to the SVC but want to avoid it if possible now.

The Figo TDCI looks like an excellent option for enthusiasts. Of course you will need to do a few upgrades:
- Nicer wheels (Freestyle one are a nice option).
- Better Tyres.
- Lowering Springs (From the Figo S or aftermarket ones like Cobra or Eibach).
- A nice android HU.
- Chrome Delete for the Titanium / Sticker & Blue Delete for the Blu.
- Stage I Remap.

One doubt is which is a more sensible model if the above updates are to be done?
Titanium or Blu?
