The all-new Ford Figo is an exciting new compact car
characterized by a striking, elegant design that sets it apart from
competitors. The eye-catching styling is derived from Ford’s Kinetic 2.0 design
language, as seen on the likes of the new Ford Fusion and Focus. The
sophisticated and stylish exterior of the all-new Figo is matched by a modern
interior that delivers an extraordinary experience for a compact car. All-new
Figo is available with three responsive, reliable and economical engines,
including 1.2 and 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engines, as well as a 1.5
diesel.
Intelligent and careful space management creates a
surprisingly roomy cabin emphasizing quality, comfort and convenience. High levels of craftsmanship are evident
throughout the cabin, with colours and materials carefully selected by Ford
designers to create a refined and premium environment. In the front,
class-leading legroom gives the front passenger space to stretch out, while
enabling even taller drivers to achieve the ideal driving position. Rear-seat
passengers will appreciate the all-new Figo’s exceptional roominess that allows
three adults to sit side-by-side with plenty of head and shoulder room.
Technologically endowed, the Ford Figo also boasts
of an Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), which provides lighter
steering effort at low speeds – for parking and in-city manoeuvring – and
heavier, more precise feel at high speeds for greater stability and confidence
on highways.
Body trims include; Ambiente, Trend and Titanium
which all vary from levels of extras such as Power front and rear windows with
one-touch function for the driver and child locks for the rear windows, drive-away
locking function and comprehensive dashboard instrumentation that includes a
rev counter and gearshift indicator, a 60/40 split rear seat, chromed headlamp
bezels, electronic climate control and SYNC® with Bluetooth and Voice
Activation.
For added safety, a total of six airbags are fitted,
comprising driver and front passenger, as well as side and curtain airbags. ESP
with Hill Launch Assist is exclusive to the Titanium PowerShift models. The
driver’s seat benefits from four-way adjustment for improved comfort.
Remote-operated central locking is standard, linked to the MyKey functionality.
