Figo 2015-2019 1.5P Titanium AT നിരൂപണം

The Ford Figo 1.5P Titanium AT has a 1.5-litre petrol engine under the hood, coupled to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It is based on the Titanium Trim and is priced at Rs 7.74 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi, as of May 12, 2017). However, the 1.5-litre petrol engine is not available with a 5-speed manual transmission unlike the 1.2-petrol and buying it with an automatic transmission is the only option. The Figo has a boot-space of 257 litres, it has a wheelbase of 2491mm and a ground clearance of 174mm.

The 1.5-litre petrol engine produces a maximum 111.8PS of power at 6300 rpm and a peak torque of 136Nm at 4250 rpm. This is around 20PS and 24Nm more than the standard 1.2-litre petrol engine.

As it is based on the Titanium trim, it is packed with eatures. However, the major highlight would be the safety features offered with it. Apart from the standard driver and passenger airbags and anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake distribution (EBD), it has optional side and curtain airbags on offer. Moreover, the Figo 1.5P Titanium AT is the only Aspire to come with electronic stability programme (ESP), traction control system (TCS) and hill launch assist (HLA).

It also comes with other comfort and convenience features like height adjustable driver's seat, automatic air conditioner, multi-information display in the instrument cluster and electronically adjustable and foldable outside rear view mirrors with turn indicators.

A major disappointment would be the lack of sporty features offered with the Figo 1.2P Titanium MT. It misses out on a stiffer suspension setup, dual-tone exterior colour, sporty front grille, 15-inch black alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel and seats with red stitching.

It primarily competes with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS and and Volkswagen Polo GT TSi.
