Ford Figo has won quite a lot of titles and awards for Ford in India. It provide a good small car option from Ford India’s stable which was missing until early last year. Nissan Micra is another useful small car from Nissan which has created some presence for Nissan in Indian small car market. Although Nissan is facing low sales numbers mainly because of the pricing of the competing cars is more aggressive compared to Micra. We have already compared Nissan Micra Petrol Vs Ford Figo Petrol here. In this post, I will compare Nissan Micra Diesel and Ford Figo Diesel.
Nissan Micra Vs Ford Figo Diesel Exteriors
Nissan Micra looks more round around the corners and overall and gives a cute appearance. On the other hand, Ford Figo has a sharp styling and more triangular and pointed design language. Both looks pleasing in appearance. Micra looks charming with its retro like charm while Figo looks more futuristic with sharp features.
Nissan Micra Dimensions :
Length = 3780mm; Width = 1665mm; Height = 1525mm;
Ford Figo Dimensions :
Length = 3795mm; Width = 1680mm; Height = 1453mm;
Figo is taller and wider than Micra so gives more space in width and has slightly lower seating position compared to Micra. The Micra on the other hand is a tall boy with higher seating height and more headroom.
On looks and exteriors front, I would consider it a tie.
Nissan Micra Diesel Engine Vs Ford Figo Diesel Engine
Nissan Engine / Transmission :
- K9K – 4 Cylinder
- 1461 CC CRDI Engine
- Max Power – 63 BHP @ 4000 RPM

- 4 Cylinder
- 1399 CC CRDI Engine
- Max Power – 68 BHP @ 4000 RPM

The engine of Figo is slightly more powerful and punchy, but mileage is where Micra takes on Figo. Nissan Micra claims to have 23 KMPL mileage per litre of Diesel which is best in class. So it’s a trade off, if you want more power, you have to compromise with mileage and vice-e-versa.
Ford Figo Diesel Price VS Nissan Micra Diesel Price
Pricing of Ford Figo Diesel (ex-showroom) Delhi is between Rs. 4.55 Lakhs and Rs. 5.44 Lakhs.
Pricing of Nissan Micra Diesel (ex-showroom) Delhi is between Rs. 5.58 Lakhs and Rs. 6.04 Lakhs.
Considering the price difference and the engine specifications and missing safety features like ABS and EBD even in the top variants of Micra which Figo Offers, the Figo is a much better deal both in terms of features as well as safety.
CarBlogIndia Verdict on Ford Figo VS Nissan Micra Diesel
Considering the features, specifications and price, Ford Figo is definitely more value for money, less maintenance and a safer choice with features like ABD and Airbags on the offer in the top end diesel variant.
