Ford Aspire 2018 Facelift- Engine Specifications

The biggest highlight of this mid-cycle update for the Ford Aspire is going to be the introduction of an all-new petrol engine. This gasoline driven unit is the same motor which made its debut in India with the Freestyle crossover. The new 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Dragon series engine belts out 94 BHP of power along with 120 Nm of peak torque. It is going to come as standard with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

The Ford Aspire 2018 facelift will continue with the same 1.5-litre petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel engine as before. The former is good for 110BHP along with 146Nm of peak torque. The latter on the other hand pumps out 99 BHP along with 215 Nm of peak torque. The 1.5-litre petrol engine comes with a 6-speed DCT automatic transmission. While the oil-burner gets a 5-speed manual unit as standard.

Ford Aspire 2018 Facelift- Mileage

Like we just told you, the 1.5-litre Petrol and Diesel engines remain unchanged in terms of specifications. Therefore, even the mileage they will deliver remains the same. The new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine, on the other hand, is sure to offer a higher mileage than the current 1.2-litre motor. We expect a peak mileage of 21 KMPL from this engine. In comparison, the Figo’s current 1.2-litre engine outputs approximately 19 KMPL.

It may be noted that thanks to a lacklustre low-end, the engine fails to deliver a very high mileage in the real-world driving conditions. There are good chances that all this will change with the introduction of the new 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Dragon series engine.
