2019 Ford Figo is most likely slated to launch in India in 2019. Here, are the first spy shots of the updated hatchback testing on the Indian roads.
Ford Figo is due for an update for long now. Because of its outdated cabin, Figo has been garnering hardly any sales for the brand. Last month, it made a mere 116 units, which grew from 65 units in October.
Ford India revealed its plans about the future launches. The list include facelifts of Ford Aspire, Figo, Endeavour and Mustang GT. Endeavour is still laden with features that are enough to make it survive in the segment. Whereas Figo is not.
