The new subcompact car from Ford was unveiled in September 2009 in New Delhi, India.
This small car was named “Figo” after the informal expression in Italian, meaning “Cool”. Oriented towards the Indian and Asian-Pacific markets, the Figo is built on Fiesta’s B platform. In terms of styling the Figo looks more like a facelifted fifth generation Fiesta (2002 - 2008), but fits in perfectly with the consumer demand and purchasing power from developing countries. The units powering the Figo, were chosen to be the 1.2-liter petrol and the 1.4-liter TDCi Duratorq diesel engine, both tuned for low fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
