Ford will soon come up with a diesel variant of ikon the josh machine. As the ikon is fading out from the customers memory Ford is planning to rejuvenate the ikon with a facelift and Fiesta’s diesel engine. “Ford will unveil its refurbished Ikon by next month to expand its range of offerings in the country that includes Fusion, Endeavour and Fiesta”, said Michael Boneham, managing director and president of Ford India.
The facelift will not be a serious makeover for the ikon but it will be cosmetic treatment to extend its life. A kink in the headlamps and an all new bumper with larger air dam is to tell you the ikon is a facelifted one. The rear tail lamp cluster of the new ikon also get a minor treatment. However what you will love most in the new ikon is the new heart. Ikon would start burning oil with the Fiesta 1.4L dura torq diesel engine. Remember Ford recently discontinued the Fiesta 1.4L dura torq to facilitate this launch. Ford had earlier offered ikon diesel till 2006.
