2019 Ford Figo : An enthusiast's delight : PowerDrift

The Ford Figo finally gets a set of cool features. Having bowed down to peer pressure, it gets automatic everything and a touch screen. But is it still an enthusiasts delight? Rohan finds out.
The 1.5-litre petrol engine is a 3-cylinder unit, not 4-cylinder as mentioned. We apologize for the incorrect info.

Sharan was there in old Figo Video. Where is he now !! 🤔

[@harfatehsingh7672]

I like it even more now but I miss the sync my key function😒

I would like to know more informations, like ex showroom price of both the engine options, boot space, rear seat comfort, city and highway milage

I drive an Abarth Punto and those four seconds really did hurt! Amazing review as usual nevertheless.

[@parthshinde5966]

As mass market car become less and less involving to drive and as the environment becomes more and more aried for fast hatches , the ford figo is the torch bearer of the Bygone era! - What a wonderful description of enthusiast car! Excellent Ten hut👍

[@AutoKay]

I listen to the engine note of the 3cy Petrol. Ain't no need for Androids and Apples.

[@AutoKay]

Sounds half as good as 90deg V6

My Dad loved the Aspire Petrol. We bought the Aspire Petrol. I love my Dad. I love my Aspire.

[@aniketvirat4334]

I've ford figo 2016 petrol 1.2L Ti-VCT yes its numb engine till 2.5K RPM. Yes it gets old gen interior. Availablity of spares is also an issue. It didn't do good in Indian market... but still I love my figo put any terrene any kind of roads, no roads, hit bumps at 50-60 Kmph or more and still it handles everything. And if you have twist and turns ahead believe me you'll be having smile at the end of it. I love my figo. Its been the best partner with every going journey I've.

[@thenarrator5978]

"Granddaddy of them Hatchbacks". This seals the deal for me.

[@shvkap]

This is the Rohan Albal review I've always wanted. Been a fan since Powerdrift's first vid!

[@prakashnirmal786]

Agree with you. I love his narration and he is damn presentable. I would love to listen him everytime.

[@Adi01992]

I bought a Figo last year and I love it but this one is even better. Fanboys will still go for Maruti tinsheets

Why do you care idiot? Buy whatever you want and let others buy what they want. They are not taking money from you. So keep your mouth shut

[@chiragsthakur1022]

I am using a figo since 2015. Even many of my friend do. All feedbacks say it's definitely cheaper to maintain than any car from other manufacturers

[@kisna2908]

Sad to see the demise of my beast. I drive an abarth punto.. And even after 35000 kms I never saw any other abarth from my windscreen or mirror. That alone ! Still a delight to hold that steering. As always a great review.

[@subalsasi4668]

Bro I planned to get Abarth last yr unfortunately the production stopd n I went for diesel head (Figo S) no regrets, still a dream to drive Abarth 😍😍

[@dhrubajyotibasu6505]

Thanks Tenhut for paying tributes to the Great Grand daddy, the Abarth🙂. I hope Ford car continues to thrill us by their driving dynamics. If they could just add a customisation option like iCreate in Marutis now, that would be the best icing on the cake.

[@vinaysonwani3189]

I am late into the party but mate, the way you structure and present the review is just amazing, you are the next Richard Hammond !!

[@ajaj8332]

Thank you for speaking for us, enthusiasts who put driving dynamics and handling ahead of features and styling.

[@abhijith1706]

1L Ecoboost petrol would have been a better option for sport model. A lightweight turbocharged petrol engine can be a nice recipe for car Enthusiasts.

Whats difference between freestyle n figo s.... Suspension??

[@ssmetalrulz]

Polo GT TSI still rules this segment. Period.

[@k.---]

Practicality matters. And thats where figo/freestyle diesels hit the sweet spot of being practical and fun at same time.

[@SunderdeepSingh]

I have noticed that reviewers especially PowerDrift and Gagan Chaudhary are biased towards Polo. May be they hate it or they are not paid well. Nobody has the balls to say that Polo is the only hatch that has 4 stars GNCAP Swift has 2 Aspire Figo has 3 Elite i20 3 Also their bodyshell was stated as unstable. Moreover, these brands cannot match the finesse of VW, leave aside pleasure of GT engine and technology used for DSG.

[@abhishekkhewa8191]

@Sunderdeep Singh absolutely true. Vw polo is the best hot -hatch in India. Try Volkswagen once and you’ll never go for any other brand👍

[@SunderdeepSingh]

Exactly! Light years ahead, can't think of comparing these cars with Polo. Not even a single part; even a screw is better than Polo. Reviewers should promote such cars but alas....money talks @@abhishekkhewa8191

[@prajitsengupta9851]

You missed another hatchback which is a enthusiast’s delight. The VW Polo 1.5 TDI (now unfortunately discounted) and the new 1.0 TSI Petrol with Manual Transmission. The Polo and the Figo are way better products than Swift, Nios, Glanza, Baleno and I20. They deserve much better sales figures.

[@anujsingh-tq2gy]

Ford is ford...best in class

[@ASIVA331985]

Why I'm seeing this 100s of times?

[@das.3383]

The figo 1.5 litre diesel is one of the fastest hatchbacks ever. It pulls like crazy.

Finally an awesome review after a couple of horrible santro reviews!

[@natozeleo7579]

4 millenia of grief for Ford's exit 😢

Ford is the best brand in india available .. Period 🤩

[@kalachar]

Finally there is a car which is appealing to Family as well enthusiast. Baleno and i20 are mass market cars whereas old Figo S and POLO GTs were never been a family delights. However this car trying to tick most of the boxes. Agreed - Ford still makes fun to drive FAMILY cars.

Nice video as always..!! But I am really sad for missing ARP nd Sync 3 in top end manual version..

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks for the compliment, Priston! :)

[@mototech3903]

Way better than vw polo in terms of refinement and maintenance cost.VWs service is very bad and very costly. For all those riding enthusiasts VW is a good car in terms of ride quality handling but for a common man it's maintainance cost is not at all affordable.For example it's abs sensor gets faulty frequently and a single sensor cost you 4500 rupees plus labour fed up with vw service please don't buy VW by only looking at its thrill to drive and build quality that will go awry when you start paying for its maintainance.

[@nadil-fs8go]

True.

[@kshithijiyer]

Rohan. I think you should make a video on what hatchback your dad will like. It becomes really confusing on what to buy for your dad.
