Further,Ford has plans to start a second manufacturing facility by April 1,2015 in Sanand,Gujarat for both the Figo hatchback and Figo sedan(sub-4m).According to an earlier report,it is to be known that the car is going to use the “Figo” moniker as it has a high recall value,while the aforementioned statement also makes this fact a crystal clear.While focussing on the engine options,a little changes are to be made whereas the platform remain to be the same.When the view gets trimmed down to the changes made to the engine department,the 1.5 litre diesel engine will be shared with the Fiesta,yet the 1.2-litre petrol unit(only used by the Figo)will be replaced by a fully-localized 1-litre engine(based on the Ecoboost but without a turbo).Expected to arrive at an attractive price tag that falls between the range of Rs3.5 and Rs5.5 lakhs,Ford Figo hatchback is about to compete with Hyundai Grand i10,Maruti Celerio,Chevrolet Beat,Honda Brio and Tata Kite.
Apart from these products,Ford has been preparing to launch another product that is the new Ford Endeavour, hence by the next year the Ford is about to give an excitement to the customers with the launch of three products.
