Next-generation Ford Figo to reach India in 2015

The Ford Figo hasn't received a substantial upgrade for quiet a while. The American carmaker has now decided to phase out its current Figo in 2015 with the next-generation 2015 Ford Figo, known as the Ford Ka, in the soccer crazy nation – Brazil.

Ford has given the 2015 Figo a complete makeover in terms of design. Apart from a new and more modern look, the new Figo now looks in sync with the Ford family look that currently adorns the Ford EcoSport and the new Ford Fiesta.

Mechanically, the 2015 Ford Figo compact sedan is expected to come with engine options which include - a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine or the 1.0-litre EcoBoost turbo-petrol. A 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine will also do its duty in the 2015 Ford Figo hatchback.  

Reports suggest that Ford has already brought the next-generation 2015 Ford Figo compact sedan and hatchback into India for research and development purposes.

The new Ford Figo sedan and hatchback are expected to be rolled out from the new Ford plant in Sanand in Gujarat by mid-2015. Ford is also readying the next-gen Ford Endeavour SUV for India which is also expected to be launched next year.
