2019 Ford Figo (facelift) brochure leaked
The 2019 Ford Figo’s brochure has leaked online. The facelifted model will go on sale in India tomorrow.
The old Figo is available in Base, Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Titanium+ grades. Ford will offer the new Figo in only Ambiente, Titanium and a new Titanium+ grades. Auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, push-button start, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system in-built navigation, front passenger SBR, rear parking sensors, rear-view camera and side and curtain airbags are the features the company has added to the hatchback with the mid-life update.
The newly introduced Titanium Blu grade can be thought of as a replacement for the Sports Edition. It stands out from the rest of the line-up with an Absolute Black mesh grille and grille surround, Absolute Black ORVMs, blue fog lamp bezels, 15-inch Premium Black alloy wheels, sporty decals, black roof and Blu interior. It doesn’t have a uniquely tuned suspension, though.
New 1.2- and 1.5-litre Ti-VCT three-cylinder petrol engines have replaced the four-cylinder petrol units. The 1.2-litre engine produces 96 PS at 6,500 rpm and 120 Nm of torque at 4,250 rpm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, presumably the new MX65 unit made by Getrag.
The 1.5-litre engine develops 123 PS at 6,500 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. It is coupled to a new 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The 1.5-litre TDCi four-cylinder diesel engine’s maximum power has marginally improved from 73.8 kW to 74.0 kW, which also converts to 100 PS only. It is also likely matched with the aforementioned new 5-speed manual transmission.
As for the fuel economy figures, only the 1.2L petrol-MT configuration’s rating has gone up from 18.16 km/l to 20.4 km/l. The 1.5L petrol-AT configuration’s rating has worsened from 17 km/l to 16.3 km/l. The 1.5L diesel-MT configuration’s rating has declined from 25.83 km/l to 25.5 km/l.
