Ford Figo Aspire Preview
The first thing I
noticed was how much nicer Figo Ford Aspire seen in comparison with the
competition - not just in the overall design of the physical, but also the
exterior feel and fit-and-finish. While Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Hyundai Xcent
look just plain ugly to me, riveting Honda managed to appear as a simple design
and is average, at best. Figo Aspire take the sex appeal of a higher level.
Heck, I'm talking about sex appeal for the compact sedan segment sub - strange times!
Ford did not want to
show the latest products to the public long before the official launch. There
is a display area that is established in several shopping centers - the
company's marketing strategy adopted for EcoSport as well. I went to check it
out on the screen and think that it is a miracle controllable lighting Figo
Aspire conspicuous. I am happy to report that even in natural light, Figo
Aspire really looks sharp and well turned-out. I think the best angle would be
three-fourths of the guests.\
Aspire Figo flaunts the
most balanced proportions in the segment, even better than the Tata spirit and
Honda amazed. Ahead is particularly notable because the portions are huge and
dominating grille, as global pronounced, looks very Aston Martin. There were
also signs of MINI are trying to peek through the grille, which is not bad. I'm
a guy aesthetically challenging. I suffer from agnosia when it comes to looks
and beauty. But even I can say very clearly that Figo Aspire will walk away
with the title if it goes the way against sub-compact sedan that there is - it
really looks the most interesting of the lot.
Ford took a long time to
react to this segment, but it finally has, and the results are rather
interesting. Let me cut straight to the chase. It may be a product that is even
more important than the hatch Figo will come out at the end of the year. The
people at Ford realize that there are great opportunities here and they strive
to provide the best possible package to the consumer.
I like the car has a lot
of storage space in the cabin. Figo Aspire does not disappoint at all. There
are not only many cup holders, but even the door pockets can hold a large
bottle - everything is pretty useless. The glove box is also quite large and
there are some other space holder that you can use for loose change, phone and
other oddities. There is more than enough room in the cabin. I am a man tallish
- just above the average height of India, and with the seat adjusted for my
driving position, the same height can be seated at the back without complaining
knees. At this point, I must, however, say that the legroom is not as good as
Honda amazed and that's to the seat rail position and shape of the seat itself.
Riveting has a lot flatter area and the legs do not feel compromised on
comfort. The front seats are well designed and improved quite good, too. I like
to sit low in my car, so it's great to know that Figo Aspire comes with height
adjustment in two variants, but as the chair base down leaving little room
under the pillow and an important part of the body. High person suffering from
lower back problems may find that bothersome on continued use. The boot space -
measuring 359 liters in volume and also to fit a medium sized bag without
making the usual three we managed them difficult to adjust. Loading lip is
rather high though.
Dual-tone interior
treatment (beige-black combination) standards in four trims that Figo Aspire
will be available in and give a great feeling of airiness to the cabin. It's
been fun to have a darker shade of beige though - this time a little shade too
bright! Ford has come uncomfortably close to the level of quality Japanese
interior. Plastic bits feel above average and Asipre loaded to absolute maximum
on most fronts. Got driver and passenger airbags as standard on all variants
while the upper end trims get a six-six, in the sub-compact sedan! Impressive.
Because I drove versions of Titanium Plus, I could not try the Mount MyFord
dock the phone and you can access the navigation or music and more from it. We
will try and do a separate account of just how it works in the future.
Figo Aspire will be made
available with a choice of three engines: a 1.2-liter petrol, 1.5-liter diesel
and 1.5-liter petrol will only be available with a 6-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission. This trip is not limited to just a few hours, but I get
to sample the 1.2-liter gasoline and 1.5-liter diesel. I want to start with a
variable-cam 1.2 to get the disappointing bit out of the way immediately.
A 1.5-liter diesel is
the absolute opposite of gasoline reluctant. This 8-valve (yes, still!) Engine
borrowed from the Fiesta and make 98.6bhp and 215Nm. That would make the Fiesta
(which makes 90bhp) the owner of a lot of heavy fuming! The response to throttle
inputs is quite good even from low revs and a very strong mid-range. It is a
machine that is very flexible and very appropriate to the driver's input. While
the gearbox does not really give much to complain about, I would be happy to
act gearshift to be just a little bit more interesting and coupling to a
lighter, and a bite to be a little more progressive.
What made me
disappointed at the suspension setup. No, it left me confused. Yes, the
confusion would be the appropriate term. I've had a really great time with Ford
products in the past. I loved the original Ikon and Fiesta (now classic) in
India and never exactly enjoyable first premium sedan I drove is a PHV. One
thing that has been constant throughout all these cars are very different
ride-handling balance. Aspire changing trends - a sad day for fans of Ford. The
suspension is very biased town and did a great job going over bumps and holes.
It is only when you to corner really hard that you compress the suspension to
the limit and feel it is getting a bit stiff - at that point it could be fun.
You would be silly to do that, but it would be nice funny. For most, it is a
car that is soft to the usual home-to-office traveling. The steering wheel,
too, unlike the Fords of the past, it has been absolutely no intimate
relationship with you. It is quite precise and direct unit, but feel the
emotion. Ford has done a great job of designing and packaging Figo Aspire use.
In the process, though, it also has alienated Aspire of his DNA and he came
across as very un-Ford-like experience.
Thats all about Ford
Figo Aspire. thinking better for the best choice before you buy it.
