India is among the leading and fastest-growing car markets in the world. It is no surprise then, that, Ford Motor Co, which is among the most recognized car manufacturers globally, intends to have a leading share in the Indian car market. Products like the EcoSport, along with earlier versions of the Figo and Fiesta, have received an almost overwhelming response from Indian car buyers. However, Ford is not the one to rest on its laurels. Ford India has already launched the new Figo twins, the new Endeavour and the Mustang in recent past. Now, it has decided to go all out by bringing in a slew of new cars in 2017. Here’s a look at the upcoming Ford Cars in India 2017 –

Ford India plans to launch an updated version of the Figo?. The new 2018 Ford Figo facelift will debut at the Auto Expo 2018. It will have a new 1.2-litre petrol engine that will offer better performance and higher mileage. The car will also have a fresher exterior and more features for the interior. Prices of the car could start at Rs 5.2 lakh and go all the way to Rs 7.6 lakh. The 1.5-litre Petrol and 1.5-litre Diesel engines will be carried forward unchanged.

Ford India is also likely to launch the new Aspire facelift in India. It will also have an updated exterior, better-equipped interior and the new 1.2-litre Petrol engine. Thanks to these updates, the car might get a slight price rise but we feel that the increase in the price will be justified. The Aspire sedan hasn’t exactly set sales charts on fire and now, the updated car might become a worthier rival to the likes of Maruti Dzire and Hyundai Xcent.

Known as the Ford Ka Trail in Brazil, the Ford Figo Cross is nothing but a slightly more rugged version of the Figo hatchback. It gets some body cladding, bigger wheels and a higher ground clearance to come across as a more rugged option. For India, the Figo Cross will come with a new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, Dragon-series Petrol engine. This engine will even go on to replace the current 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine on the regular Figo and the Aspire. It will also come with a touchscreen infotainment unit. Safely expect this car to make its public debut at the Auto Expo 2018.

Now, it plans to bring more globally successful models to our car market. One of these upcoming Ford cars in India is the Kuga small crossover. The Kuga will be slotted between the EcoSport and the Endeavour in Ford India’s line-up of cars. It will rival high-end models of the Hyundai Creta at one end, and the Tucson at the other.
