The new Ford Aspire BS6 has been launched at a starting price of Rs 5.99 lakh. The range-topping variant comes at Rs 8.34 lakh ex-showroom. The compact-sedan, based on the Ford Figo hatchback, is the most premium choice among the three products coming under the brand’s B562 platform In comparison to the previous BS4 model, the Aspire BS6 does not come with any significant improvement in terms of features and equipment. However, the BS6 Ford Aspire does not get SYNC3 infotainment system anymore. Instead, it comes with a 7.0-inch capacitive touchscreen.
The new Ford Aspire BS6 is available in both petrol and diesel avatars. The 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine makes 95bhp and 119Nm while the 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel motor gives out 99bhp and 215Nm of torque. Both engines come mated to a 5-speed manual. There is no choice for an automatic transmission.

It primarily rivals the likes of the Honda Amaze, all-new Hyundai Aura and of course, the segment-leading Maruti Suzuki Dzire.
