Could be a Wagon R . Does not matter as both Wagon R and Estilo are almost the same Size. The idea was not to compare the cars but to give an idea about the actual size of the FIGO. From the pictures the FIGO seems to be in the same category as the SWIFT as far as the size goes and if it is priced at 3.5 L for the base version as someone was suggesting, then it sure seems a good deal.

But it seems to be spec'd right for B/B+ segment wrt safety. I guess the ACC is the only major missing feature compared to the Beat. Again pricing will be the key to justify buying the Figo. VW and Ford seem to be playing a game of cat & mouse for the last few months waiting to see who will bite first and announce variants+prices. | |

| Agreed that Ford have taken cues from last gen Fiesta which was quite successful in many market. You cannot straight away say that this is a dumped model  Ford has totally re-skinned the vehicle and kept the vehicle development cost low as lost cost was identified as a critical success factor for cost competitive markets like India. Ford made this low cost model by achieving a high localization of components, shared parts with existing Fiesta bins, leveraging the strengths of the outgoing Fiesta Chassis. FIGO is specifically tropicalised to suit Indian conditions and also for exports to African countries. Hence we expect this car to be quite well priced as GM Beat has already done. Such aggressive price can be a bench mark for all the others to follow. |

Yes they may not be able to match spare for the above vendors going by the difference in volume. But even today, the gap is not that much. The maintenance and spare cost of a Fiesta, Verna and SX4 wouldn't have major difference. | |
