Ford Figo hatchback variants explained

Ford has finally launched their highly anticipated next-gen Figo hatchback. The car looks similar to the Figo Aspire sub-four metre sedan and is packed with a good amount of equipment and safety features like its elder sibling.

Unlike the Ford Aspire sedan, what Ford has done for the Figo is introduced a new base version to offer customers the hatchback at an affordable price. In fact, this price undercuts the base prices of the Figo's competitors by a decent margin. However, with a low price consumers should also know that with this variant of the Figo, there are no power windows, only one OVRM at the driver's side, the front seat misses out on map seat pockets and there will be no door ajar warning and no tachometer. Needless to say, the base variant doesn't get many features, but still gets one driver side airbag as a safety feature.
