Ford India does not want to lose the momentum it has built with the successful launch of the Ford Figo Aspire compact sedan and has officially announced the oncoming of the hatchback variant of the car which will go by the name “Figo”. The American manufacturer has just sent us an invite for the upcoming launch press conference which will be held on Wednesday September 23, 2015.
Yes the next generation of the Figo hatchback is finally coming to India later this month. The present generation of the car is the one which started it all for Ford India. Before the launch of the EcoSport, the present Figo not only started the brand’s revival in the Indian market but also earned Ford a name for its strong build quality and VFMness.
The engine options are expected to be the same as that of the Aspire which include:

We are not sure at the moment if Ford will offer the car with the more powerful 1.5 litre Ti-VCT petrol from the Aspire but considering that it gets an automatic gearbox, chances are high. Aspire was launched at interesting price points and standard safety features and we expect the same for the Figo hatchback.
