Under the hood, the Freestyle Flair gets the same engine options as the standard BS6 Fresstyle. That means there’s a 1.2L, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine which produces 96hp and 119Nm of torque. As for the diesel engine, its a 1.5L, four-cylinder unit that produces 100hp and 215Nm. The Freestyle has class leading power and torque figures for both its engines but its fuel economy will certainly keep you wanting for more. Both the engines come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
