Ford Figo

The figo has been setting the sales charts on fire and for good reason. It is a very practical little hatchback that drives well and doesn’t cost too much. If the swift is too big for you, the figo should be on your radar.

The figo comes with a choice of two engines. 1.2 litre petrol that makes 70Bhp and 102Nm torque. It is adequate for pottering around town, but don’t expect to set the roads on fire with it.

The diesel 1.4Litre common rail engine makes 67Bhp and 160Nm of torque. The figo diesel feels better to drive even if it isn’t as quick in a straight line as the petrol.

Zero to 100kph for the diesel comes up in 16.9Sec, which isn’t the quickest, but the torque wave makes you feel it’s quicker.

The figo has good room for its occupants. The seats are comfortable and work well even on longer journeys. You will find some features missing even in the top end variants like lack of rear power windows. Plastic quality is decent but we aren’t big fans of the henna coloured dashboard in top end variants boot space at 284Litres is quite good for s hatch this size.

Ford has always been enthusiastic handlers and the figo doesn’t disappoint. The steering is sharp and body control is good giving the driers confidence to pile into corners without hesitation. You will really enjoy throwing the figo around. We wished there was more power to exploit it. Ride quality is stiff at lower speeds, but get much better at higher speeds.

The figo is currently the car to have if you want something smaller then swift or i20. It is capable package, but we feel ford shouldn’t have cut down on the rear power windows.it drives nicely and priced well too. If you prefer handling over ride, you will like the figo.
