You read it first at vicky.in! The launch plan of american automaker Ford is here. Ford is working on the B562 (internal codename for ‘KA’). The KA was unveiled in Brazil few months back. However what we have unearthed from our closed sources is Ford plans three segment of cars on the ‘KA’ platform – small car which will sit above figo, compact sedan to take on Honda amaze and full size sedan on the likes of fiesta.
What the grapevine also tells us is Ford has shelved the plans to launch the 7-seater Ecosport which many thought eventually it would reach indian shores. To our surprise, Ford has already started working on mid-life facelift of ecosport which suppliers have also confirmed. The facelift won’t be a stickering job or redesigned grille but much more than that. Ford has taken input of ecosport owners and it would lookalike a new generation car. Mouthwatering! but defer your buying process as the launch of facelifted ecosport will happen only in 2016.
Ford is also working on another facelift for figo. Remember with the launch of KA, ford is in no mood to discontinue the figo. Instead the two will co-exist, as ford thinks one car won’t be enough to take the entry level hatchbacks and premium hatchbacks.Lastly don’t forget the new generation endeavour which is CKD unit.
