The Ford Figo facelift went on sale in India earlier today. Prices start at Rs 5.15 lakh and go all the way up to Rs 8.19 lakh (ex-showroom). The refreshed hatchback is available in three trims, covering three engine-transmission combinations. Compared to the pre-facelift model, the trims and variant list is now leaner which makes things simpler for the end buyer. Before we get to the details, here’s the complete price list:

Ford Figo Facelift Prices (ex-showoom)

Figo’s two main rivals are and have always been the Hyundai Grand i10 and the Maruti Suzuki Swift. While the former is priced between Rs 4.97 lakh and Rs 7.62 lakh, the latter carries a price list which ranges from Rs 4.99 lakh to Rs 8.85 lakh. You could even include the Toyota Etios Liva in the list. It is priced between Rs 5.34 lakh and Rs 7.45 lakh (all prices are ex-showroom Delhi). Other similarly priced cars include the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Mahindra KUV100 and from Ford India’s own stable, the Freestyle.

Over to some vitals. The Figo facelift is available with three engine-transmission combinations. The first is a 1.2-litre petrol mill which produces 96PS/120Nm and comes coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The second is the 1.5-litre diesel engine that puts out 100PS/215Nm and comes coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission. The third and the most powerful in its segment is a 1.5-litre petrol engine that pumps out 123PS/150Nm. However, this engine is available only with a 6-speed automatic transmission (torque converter).

As far as mileage is concerned, the 1.2 petrol and the 1.5 petrol can deliver 20.4kmpl and 16.3kmpl, respectively. Predictably, the diesel motor is the most frugal here with a claimed mileage of 25.5kmpl. The Figo facelift is available in seven colours, namely White Gold, Moondust Silver, Smoke Grey, Absolute Black, Deep Impact Blue, Ruby Red and Oxford White.

With those details out of the way, let’s get cracking on the trim-wise list of features. As always, we’ll be listing only those features which can potentially make or break a deal.

Trim – Ambiente | Variants available: 1.2-litre petrol MT and 1.5-litre diesel MT

Here’s what the Ford Figo facelift gets as part of its standard kit:

It is surprising to see that high-speed warning system hasn’t been fitted to any of the trims. As far as the Ambiente trim is concerned, it will be popular amongst those who know the ins and outs of the aftermarket world and like to do up the car in their unique style. For others, let’s look at the next-in-line trim.

Trim – Titanium | Variants available: 1.2 petrol MT, 1.5 diesel MT and 1.5 petrol AT

If you want the Figo facelift with an automatic transmission, you will have to settle with this trim. Listed below are the features that it gets over the Ambiente trim:

For all that added kit, you are paying an additional Rs 1.24 lakh. Is it worth it? In our books, yes. The Titanium trim not only brings all the essentials but also gets more equipment at a price which is less than before. This trim is likely to be the most popular as all three engine-transmission combinations are available here.

Trim – Titanium Blu | Variants available: 1.2-litre petrol MT and 1.5-litre diesel MT

This trim wasn’t available before. Based on what it flaunts inside and out, it is a blend of the Figo S and the Titanium + trims from before. Here’s what it gets over the Titanium trim:

For all the added kit mentioned above, you pay an additional Rs 55,000. Even if you are not a fan of the decals and the dual-tone paint scheme, which is available as part of the accessories list in lesser trims, the added safety of six airbags is the most integral part. What’s more, auto headlamps are part of the kit here. In other trims, the same feature is available as an optional extra.

So then, the Ford Figo facelift is well priced, has a leaner, uncomplicated list of variants and it is also the most powerful. Does that mean it doesn’t have chinks in its armour? No, it does have some. Both Hyundai Grand i10 and Maruti Suzuki Swift offer the added convenience of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And let’s not forget, both of Figo’s main rivals offer an automatic transmission in more than one trim. Which one would you put your money on? Let us know in the comments below.
