Figo makeover looks good especially if we see the features added for the price. Now the front design grill resembles like that of new Alto 800.
ReplyDeleteGood Job. Ford Figo have now become feature rich. These are the changes needed at this time.
ReplyDeleteHappy to know that Ford has not increased the price much inspite of the changes done.Its definitely a drivers's car.
ReplyDeletePrior to the launch of Ford Figo,Maruti and Chevrolet has stronghold in small car segment.But after arrival of Fgo,people are inclined towards it.The reason is its a subtle and compact design,stylish interior and fuel efficiency makes it a good choice for Indian families which normally opt a hatchback.
ReplyDeleteNow people don't compromise with quality,status and durability while buying cars.If a car's price is lowest,it doesn't guarantee its success.This was happened with Nano.But Ford Figo was launched with high price tag but got huge success even when other brands hatchback at lower price are present in the market.
ReplyDeleteI really love this car.Its mesmerizing looks with classy interior and powerful engine all are in my desired list of a perfect hatchback.This car got no competition because its a cult classic.
