Ford Figo

Ford brand that entered the Indian market in 1997, sure took its own sweet time in bringing a sub-5 lakh rupee hatchback. The Figo – a crucial product for the American giant – was eventually launched in 2010 and, importantly, at a VFM price tag. The Figo wears the same size footprint as most other hatchbacks from the segment. Owners found the looks to be inoffensive, the type that will please all and excite none. They are also quick to add that the neutral design lacks the quirkiness of many rivals. However, there is no doubt that the Figo wears dated clothes & doesn’t feel
as modern as other recent launches. Case in point: the low waistline that is reminiscent of the 1990′s. No surprise there, as the car is based on the Mark V Fiesta, a platform discontinued in most other countries. The rear end design is identical to that of the erstwhile Ford Fusion.The Ford Figo sits much lower than the tall boy hatchbacks, an aspect that can negatively affect ingress /egress to the elderly (or those with bad backs). All of our reviewers gave top marks to the build quality and construction.
The Figo feels solid as European cars generally do, though some inconsistent / large panel gaps are evident. Owners comment that the interior design is functional and straight-forward. Many of the interior bits & pieces are shared with
the Ford Fiesta (sedan). The plastics are of decent quality; they are hard to the touch, yet feel durable nevertheless. Overall interior fit & finish is above average. Thanks to the generous glass area, the Figo feels airy on the inside. Plus, the respectable wheelbase length leads to adequate space for 4 adults. Room at the front is good, while the seat
adjustment (fore & aft) has a long travel range. Just as in the Ikon, the glovebox is positioned further into the dash, releasing a substantial amount of knee room to the front passenger. Our reviews indicate that space at the back is sufficient for 2 adults, and legroom is better than most of its competitors (save for the Indica). Further, the Figo’s wide body style liberates superb shoulder room. As is expected from Ford, the driving position is spot-on. The driver has a clean all round view, the steering is perfectly positioned and all other controls fall easily to hand. Negative points are given to the left-hand-drive orientation of the control stalks (wiper on the right and lights on the left). The interiors are practical enough with a good number of cubby holes & storage spots. There’s also the 284 liter boot which is amongst the largest from this segment. Unfortunately, as a measure of cost cutting, the rear seat doesn’t have a 50:50 split (it can fold away entirely when needed). The Figo’s air-conditioner is a chiller and has been rated as the best in the segment. The top variant is equipped with an ABS + EBD braking system, front airbags, front power windows, driver’s seat height adjustment, 4 speaker MP3 / AUX / Bluetooth sound system, electric mirrors, keyless entry and rear wash & wipe. On the flip side, rear power windows (especially), tilt-adjustable steering, alloy wheels and climate control are missing from the equipment list. The engine of choice is the Fiesta-sourced TDCi diesel. This 1.4 liter power plant is rated at 68 BHP (@ 4,000 rpm) and 160 NM of torque (@ 2,000 rpm). Owners raved about the in-city driveability of the Figo; it is completely lacking in turbolag and is thus responsive even at 1,500 rpms! This key advantage makes the Figo diesel much better to drive within the city than its 1.3 Fiat MJD powered competitors (including the Swift). Throttle response at low speeds is excellent, while the engine feels immensely tractable. Mid-range performance is acceptable too, though highway capability is below average. The 1.4 diesel simply does not have any top end punch. Performance is acceptable up to 100 – 120 kph, but poor afterward. The engine is limited by its humble power output, and hence, overtaking on the highway needs to be a carefully planned activity. The Figo diesel is more suited to sedate cruising rather than an enthusiastic driving style on the expressway. Refinement levels under normal driving conditions are par for the course, though the diesel can get noisy when made to work hard. The lesser impressive engine is the petrol alternative. The 1.2 liter unit is rated at 70 BHP (@ 6,250 rpms) and 102 NM of max torque (4,000 rpm). The outright power and torque ratings are lower than direct competitors. Owners report that performance is pedestrian. The in-city driveability is just okay, but pales in comparison to its superior Japanese / Korean competition on the open road. The 1.2 petrol has a free-revving nature right up to 5,500 rpms, after which ogress is slow. Refinement levels of the petrol are significantly below segment benchmarks too. Either engine will struggle on steep inclines with a full load of passengers. The short-throw gearbox is smooth enough and has a positive slotting action. The Figo has an
outstanding balance between ride quality & road handling. The suspension is sufficiently compliant, and will keep occupants comfortable over most road conditions. Our reviewers add that it does have a firm edge to itself, a trait that is especially noticeable at low speeds and bumpy roads. As the speedometer needle climbs, the suspension becomes
more absorbent. On the highway, the Figo’s planted nature enhances comfort levels. The driver is well rewarded with a fantastic steering and top class dynamics. The hydraulic steering wheel is direct and offers excellent feedback. Grip levels are strong, with the Figo feeling greatly chuckable around fast corners. Body roll is well controlled with the
chassis exuding balance. High speed stability is “big-car-like” making the Figo feel stable at even 140 kph. The ABS assisted brakes received average ratings for feel and effectiveness. Our reviewers felt they could use more “bite”. The brakes aren’t outstanding, but will do the job. Note that the ABS-equipped variant receives larger front disc brakes & rear drums.
