BS6 Ford Figo, Aspire and Freestyle have started arriving at dealerships. Today, Ford India announced the official launch of the three cars.
There are no major exterior changes to all three cars. Ford Figo, Aspire, Freestyle BS6have lost some features that were available in BS4 variants. This is probably being done to keep prices in check. As you can see, in some cases prices have reduced by as much as Rs 40k, inspite of the BS6 updgrade.
Starting with Figo, the hatchback’s Titanium trim has lost features such as fog lamps, rear wiper and rear defogger. On the inside, BS6 Figo is likely to discontinue features such as automatic climate control, Fly Audio touchscreen infotainment system, and glossy gear lever top. Replacing the Fly Audio system on Figo is a 2 DIN system that bears close resemblance to the unit installed on Ford Ka+ in the UK.

Coming to Ford Aspire, the sedan will continue using Fly Audio system and automatic climate control. However, it loses on glossy gear lever top, just like Figo. Although many features have been discontinued, there are some additions as well. For example, both cars now get 15-inch dual tone alloy wheels. These will be offered as standard on Titanium trim of Ford Figo as well as Aspire. Another thing to note is that both Figo and Aspire will not be offering the advanced SYNC3 infotainment system.
BS6 Ford Figo and Aspire will be offered in both petrol and diesel engine options. One of these will be BS6 version of the existing 1.2-litre petrol engine, capable of generating 95 bhp of max power and 120 Nm of max torque. Diesel variant will be powered by BS6 version of existing 1.5-litre diesel engine that generates 99 bhp and 215 Nm.
Safety features are the same as earlier in all three cars. Existing variants of Figo, Aspire and Freestyle are well-equipped in terms of safety, as they offer a range of features such as 6-airbags, ABS with EBD, hill launch assist (HLA), electronic stability program (ESP), electric power assisted steering (EPAS), rear-view camera, high speed alert system, perimeter alarm and engine immobilizer.
“We have been working relentlessly to make our products surprisingly affordable – both at the point of sale and service,” said Anurag Mehrotra, president & managing director, Ford India. “Thanks to increased localization & alignment of features, we have been able to keep the prices virtually unchanged, thereby passing on the benefits to consumers directly.”
