FORD unveiled Ford Figo!!!
Ford Figo:
Today around 14:30 hrs automobile company Ford unveiled its new Ford Figo (small car) in Indian Auto Market. Ford Figo will be manufactured in Chennai’s Ford manufacturing plant and by 2010 it will be in showrooms, Ford has kept the name of this small car as Figo which means cool in Italian language.
“The Figo is designed to compete in India’s small car segment, which accounts for more than 70 percent of the market,” said Ford’s global president and chief executive Alan Mulally, who unveiled the car at a function here.”
“Our exciting new Ford Figo shows how serious we are about India,” Mulally said. “It reflects our commitment to compete with great products in all segments of this car market. We are confident the Ford Figo will be a product that Indian consumers really want and value.”
I am very sure that Ford wants to give a tough competition to Tata Nano, so that’s why they would have planned it to launch it in the showrooms as soon as possible by 2010.
But as per the resources Ford Figo will be competing with Hyundai i20 and the Suzuki Swift which has came to the market just before some days.
Asked about the price range of the Figo, Michael Boneham, Ford India president and managing director, said: “It’s going to be very competitive with the current market leader and will offer a tremendous value for our consumers.”
Very soon we will be updating the price, features, pros and cons of Ford Figo for our readers.
