Ford Figo Aspire compact sedan is based on new generation Figo hatchback
Ford India has decided to drop the Figo badge from the Ford Figo Aspire compact sedan, and from now on the sub four metre car will be known as the Ford Aspire only. Ford Motor India launched the Figo Aspire compact sedan in the country on 12th August, last year.
As it seems the Figo badge was used in the name just to grab the attention as the Ford Figo is a very well known car in India for quite long time. The Ford Aspire is based on the new generation Figo compact hatchback. Both the car’s front fascia are similar with chrome garnished horizontally slated large hexagonal radiator grille, swept back headlamps. It gets sharp creases on the hood running toward the nose section.
