Ford drives in two automatic trims of Figo starting at Rs 7.75 lakh
New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI):
Ford India on Thursday said it has launched two automatic variants of its hatchback Figo, priced at Rs 7.75 lakh and Rs 8.2 lakh respectively. (ex-showroom)
Available in Titanium and Titanium+ trims, the new Figo AT offers a six-speed, torque converter automatic transmission that is paired to BSVI compliant 1.2 litre petrol engine, the automaker said in a statement.
The new variants, with a greater value for money, continue to be a performance leader in the compact car segment, delivering 96PS of power and 119 Nm of peak torque, it added.
Ford is committed to serving customers in India and is proud to introduce the world-class automatic technology for customers in the mass-market segment, Ford India Executive Director for Marketing, Sales and Service Vinay Raina noted.
The company is confident that the new Figo AT will be an automatic choice for several new buyers who don’t believe in look-alike automatics like AMT, he added. The trim offers a sport mode and SelectShift features on the six-speed automatic transmission.
In Sport Mode, the transmission will select the optimum gear with shifts happening faster for more responsive driving while the SelectShift feature will enable the driver to change gears manually using a toggle switch on the gearshift lever, Ford said.
The Figo At also comes with various new features like rain-sensing wipers, electrochromic IRVM for greater convenience and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, side and curtain airbags, standard dual front airbags, traction control system, electronic stability control, and hill launch among others.
Being offered on the Titanium and Titanium+ trims, the Figo automatic comes loaded with features such as a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment with embedded navigation, FordPass connected app, automatic air-conditioning, electrically adjustable ORVMs, height-adjustable driver’s seat, push-button start, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlamps and remote keyless entry. Notably, it still misses out on the SYNC infotainment software, as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
Safety is covered by up to six airbags, rear parking camera, ABS with EBD, ESC, traction control (segment-exclusive) and even hill-launch assist. The automatic versions of the Figo also get a new dual-tone design for the 15-inch alloy wheels.
