Ford Figo is the hatchback by Ford launched in India. Ford has no car in this segment and has come up with Figo to fill the gap. The car looks good and modern with good space inside and decent exterior looks.
Ford will manufacture Figo in its Chennai plant which will be both more eco-friendly and cost effective plant for Ford because of cheaper material and labor costs in India. The size and price segment will bring some more competition to Hyundai i10, Hyundai i20 , Maruti Ritz , Chevrolet Beat, Tata Indica and Maruti Swift.
