Ford India has officially announced the commencement of bookings of Figo Aspire, their upcoming compact sedan, from 27th July! Based on the Ka+ sold in Brazil, Figo Aspire emerges as a sub 4 meter car and will play in the compact sedan segment in India which already has players like Maruti Dzire, Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent and Tata Zest.
