2019 Ford Figo Facelift | First Drive Review | Autocar India

Ford first launched the Freestyle crossover, then the Aspire facelift, so we kind of knew what to expect with the third member of the family, right? Well, not quite, as Gavin D'Souza found out on a drive in Jodhpur.

Whoops! The 1.2-litre petrol engine is a 3-cylinder, not a 4-cylinder as it says in the graphics. Apologies for the error.

Is the 1.5L petrol motor a three pot or four pot?

Ford Figo is way much better than the Swift.. we people don't know the value of such cars. Nice to see aspire & freestyle doing great for Ford in India ❤️

[@sumitghosh84]

Are they actually doing great? The sales numbers don't say so unfortunately

[@ejajahmed5796]

Ford knows it's limited mfg facilities and doesn't compete with others but produces best cars.

[@RahulJain-rv3bp]

Poorna Prakash you cannot really blame customer behaviour, it is the failure of Ford's marketing and service delivery which is to be blamed.

[@MrTransporter5]

I care only good handling Ford cars..... Not stupid tin cans.... 😹

[@NidalRashid]

@Poorna Prakash stop dismissing other ppl as fools. Ford has a lower reputation for reliability (although they have improved a lot since ford ikon days). Features = more things that break for many ppl.

I bought Figo in 2018 (Diesel) top variant... and quite happy with performance. It gives me 16 kmpl in city and 25 kmpl on highways (with AC). It is solid car for sure !!!!

[@nassimmusthafa3452]

does this still have the clutch tight issue?

[@DhruvPatel-pq2qg]

I own a figo 1.2 petrol 2019 and a aspire 1.5 diesel 2017. They are the best cars around, anyone who sits in them is left impressed after they step out. Ford is the best car company in India for driving pleasure and after sales. Choose wisely.

[@WDG13031]

That looks amazing! Stunning little hatchback. Must check it out.

[@hrishikeshdeshpande8044]

There were some great overhead shots in this video. Never seen that before. How did you take it? Drone camera?

[@flickers29]

Good car for the money paid. Does it get a 1.5L automatic? The automatic cars need to have a review along with the polo GT and all other hatches under 10 to 11 lakhs ....It would be a grand automatic city car compero but it's really necessary..

Gavin is the new face for autocar, now when i play any autocar video then all i expect is reviewer to be Gavin, you have very nicely filled the gap which was created because of kartikeya leaving autocar India, you are one sophisticated polite reviewer whose body frame is very similar to mine so it really gives me an idea about space or lack of it in cars that you review, thankyou and i hope that you are here to stay with autocar for a very long time. 👍🙏

[@shilpipurkayastha153]

Only a projector headlight and drl is missing. Ford is delaying the most obvious.. given these changes, it can even outsmart elite i20 and baleno in the segment with looks. According to performance, figo already has an upper hand.

[@saurabhkumar-jo4bd]

Sir kindly review 1.5 at petrol figo

[@neerjasingh5897]

It's pretty dumb from ford to not provide sync3 when the figo has all the other features that freestyle has.

[@rohitkejriwal1]

- It has a toned down version of Sync 3, but yes it's surprising omission.

[@jithinramesh3022]

@@rohitkejriwal1nope it's is not. It's from a Chinese manufacturer known for making budget touchscreens. The interface is intentionally kept similar to the sync3 so that owners of titanium and below versions of Ecosport freestyle can be fooled by sales people who will conveniently forget to disclose to customers about the lack of Android auto and apple carplay and all other safety additions (emergency calling etc.)

No projector headlights in 2019? This is big let down. These normal headlights are so outdated and visibility is less comparing to projector headlights.

[@travofood]

what is happening with ford ? first the news of the company leaving India . that was managed to certain extent. And then, again , the DPF issue . why doesn't it come clear on what's cooking inside ? the DPF is not fake , but a genuine issue since my friend is facing it and has suggested me to keep away from any ford diesel model. being a prospective Eco sport buyer, i am forced to hold on to my decision. any help in this regard ?

I wish they offered this in the US

[@anindyasundar1827]

Given a projector headlamp and drl, figo can even outsmart elite i20 and balino by looks and performance combined. I do not exactly understand why they are delaying the obvious and loosing market share..

Far tiago is nowhere near to figo👍👍

[@human2571]

Ford i think because tata parts is difficult to available.

[@debapratimchowdhury6991]

In NA petrol, it's figo. However in turbo petrol, it's the Tiago JTP.

[@vipinbharadwajkothapally8211]

Tiago is 1.5 lakh cheaper than figo so it depends totally on price, of course tiago is really good at it's price

[@anandbnair245]

Why no arm rest and rear AC vent??😕😧

[@rohitkejriwal1]

- Armrest comes as accessory. Rear AC vents in small car not needed. They have concentrated on making it better all round package rather then having some frivolous features.

[@raghavendrareddyg1938]

Comparison video required between swift 2018 and figo 2019 so that all will get to know which is value for money car in this segment

[@BennyAlexander]

An AT only comparison would be great. Almost every car in this segment has some type of AT, but a comparison would help the buyer much. OR - at least a Road test for this Figo AT petrol.

[@sreeharipradeepan9630]

Well what car do you have? Figo or polo? Or a swift😈. People brash a lot about punto figo and polo and ends up buying a suzuki.

[@NidalRashid]

Lol polo good? Typical shallow brand snob.. Volkswagen has good driving experience, sporty performance, good aesthetics, premium feel fit and finish. But dont mistake yourself with claims of "Das German engineering" when it comes to reliability, cost of maintainence and repair; Indians tend to care about these things and that is what true engineering is about. This is not just in India though. Volkswagen have similar or even worse reputation in other countries like USA. They were caught cheating on emissions which tells what kind of engineers they are. Swift is actually a globally respected car by auto journalists. James May called it is favourite hatch recently in drive tribe episode. True though the india variant has concerning compromises(and we dont get the Swift sport which would even give a golf gti a run for its money) stil theyre good cars.
