Ford has officially revealed the pictures and specifications of its all new compact sedan named as the Figo Aspire. Joining the bandwagon of compact sedans is this Ford's latest offering which is expected to hit the showrooms very soon. Ford has roped in bollywood actor, director and singer - Farhan Akhtar as the brand ambassador.
The Figo Aspire's positioning statement reads as 'it's OK to stare' and the car does look handsome barring the tiny-looking wheels and a bulky side profile. The front of the Figo Aspire comes with Ford's signature trapezoidal with swept back headlamps and a muscular bonnet. The stubby boot has an integrated spoiler and a thick chrome garnish running across the breadth of the boot.
Interiors of this compact sedan are familiar territory. Several parts are shared with its elder siblings like the distinct central console, steering wheel, gear lever, control stalks etc. The beige and black interiors add an upmarket feel to the interiors. Feature list is generous on this car. It comes with a Ford MyKey, an infotainment screen, a mobile dock (on lower variants), an integrated music system with Ford's SYNC, automatic climate control, electronic folding mirrors etc. Rear passengers get an armrest and adjustable rear neck restraints.
Ford has not compromised on safety features either with the top variant getting 6 airbags, ABS + EBD, Hill Start Assist, Electronic Stability Program and a perimeter alarm.
Two engines are on offer - a 1.2L petrol unit and a 1.5L diesel motor, both mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. A double clutch automatic transmission will also be available but it isn't confirmed whether it will be available with the petrol or diesel motor.
