The Unkown Beast Ford Figo Automatic Ownership Review

The Unknown Beast Ford Figo Automatic is one of the most ignored car ever in Indian Automobile History. If you want to buy a hot hatch everyone looks at Polo GT TSI only. But wait you ignored the most deserving hot hatch which is even discontinued now, reason is Indian Uncles' blind faith on Hyundai and Maruti whereas blind faith of youth car buyer for Polo., the Figo comes with a conventional 6-speed torque converter automatic in a pool of AMTs. The transmission also comes only with the more powerful 1.5-liter petrol engine. The Figo is easily among the most affordable cars in the country to come with a conventional automatic transmission. With 123PS, it is the most powerful option in its segment by a wide margin

She came with 1497 cc 3 cylinder engine producing 121 bhp @ 6500 rpm and 150nm torque @ 4500 rpm

Being an owner of this beast, this car performs better than the number given on papers.

Steering feedback is very good. You will never miss german steering feedback. Car is very stable even at high speed like 160-170, a way lot better than Japanese and Korean rivals. Even seating comfort is also very good. Interior also looks good, thanks to floating display and all-black interior.

 But tall people will ask for more. There are few more cons such as no bottle holder at the back seat, and Titanium AT variant is missing curtain airbags and few bells and whistles such as auto headlamps and rain-sensing wipers and tyre size is also smaller than top-end variant.

But there are some additional safety features in AT variant such as ESP, HLA and TCS Control.

If we will see the price of Figo automatic and its Rivals-

Figo Titanium AT on-road price - 8.90 lakhs

Swift zxi amt petrol price-8.48 lakhs

Nios sports amt price-8.31lakhs

Considering the cost and features, gearbox and gem engine you were getting was FAB!

Still people ignored it and brought AMTs.

And unfortunately it is discontinued and now we cant buy it.

But wait Ford is planning to launch its bs6 model in mid-2020 but you wont be getting 1.5 engine. That's a stroke of bad luck.
