Ford Figo Details the reason you may not be getting good fuel efficiency is the way you drive.there is something called drive-in or break-in period of any car engine where the new car engine gets evenly worn(pls refer to net). if you started driveng over 70kph before 2000km den your engine could be slightly unevenly worn in some areas. learn to drive properly. maybe after 2nd service your mileage will increase.
Mr. Tom, I think you are a staff of Ford. I have been Ritz diesel which gives mileage 18 in city and its petrol variant gives 15 in city dirving. So I think you are just bluffing for Ford.
Also I have Beat and it gives me 16kmpl in city and 19 kmpl on highways also I think tom just bluffing for Ford
i am no ford employee! its true that the figo petrol does not give high mileage but you will definitely get 15. my friend bought a new wagon r and right from day 1 started to take the car above 90 kmphr, got low mileage of about 11 with ac on and started cursing maruti and regretting why he bought a maruti! after he read how to treat a brand new car and learnt to drive at the correct speed and gear did he get good mileage! it all depends on how one drives!
mr reji if you truly get 18kmpl in a diesel in city conditions then good for you!please tell me the traffic conditions,avg speed,number of passengers and Ac usage. maybe i can try to extract the same figures in my uncles ritz? i get about 15 with two passengers at avg speed of 50 in 2nd and 3rd gear with Ac on always.
mr.tom is not bluffinng. my friends has a diesel figo gets mileage above 21kmpl. my petrol figo titanium gets 17kmpl. an expert driver can make a perfect shift at the right rpm. its not only for figo any car gets good mileage if it gear transmission is perfect.
finally somebody who knows how to drive!
17 is good.. i have managed to touch 14 constantly in delhi. its the same in the highway, guess its the load and the speed.
i too owned a ford figo...... it gives me only 10 kml at highways with ac on... m fedup of this car actually... if u got any solutn plz help me with the same
What is the on-road price of Ford Figo in Bangalore.
Hi Anurag , Thanks for your review on the Ford Figo car. Its impressive and to the point. After reading your review, I felt the points you have mentioned are quite realistic and thought should be definetly given a thought on the major set backs, before making a final comment on the overall experience.. Major set backs you have mentioned are : 1. Pick up is so-so. If a new cars pick up is to be called a so-so, do you not think that this can be a big issue for you in the later part of your car usage. What could be the case if you have 5 people travelling in Figo on a rough terrain, with steap altitudes ? 2. Mileage is not so good as many reviews say that. If neither you have power & pick up and you dont have a mileage, being an Indian customer, does this make a point to call this car a real good value for money.. 3. Engine is noisy. your entire time that you spend in your car travelling will be made into a stressfull journey (if you agree so), no matter how good the music system is nor the interior comforts are.. 4. Height is a set back .. Yes is a point that has to be agreed and accepted. how will the case be if it is fully loaded with 5 people ? To add a point for this... Will the spares be not expensive as is always been a point made on Ford vehicles, turning your maintenance costly to your pocket ? Finally the interesting facts about this car may be simply counted in terms of the cost of the car and the extra features that may be gotten in the interior comforts aspect. But do you think this can be really called as a car worth the money. Will it not be as pure maintenance vehicle for the matters of a. mileage b. low power that will cost your overall driving experience. c. Noise... d. Maintenance of Ford vehicles. Please feel free to share your opinions, views and comments on the above aspects. Would be glad to hear back from you. Thanks, Ravi
Hi, In spite of so many flaws in the car as you have mentioned Ravi, its selling like a hot cake in Indian Market. In fact what ever Anurag has mentioned may not be fully bought at the face of it. Its pick up is very good in fact and not average.. It rather RAVES. Five people will be easily accomodated in the car without much affecting the pick up. Mileage is 15 in the city and not 12 which is fare enough. Engine is noise less..its a very refined. What else you want buddy at this price. India is a very mature market, people can not be duped simply by offering some sort of high flying interiors or good music systems. There is something more in the car which is making it very attractive for mature indian middle class. Regards, Faran Imam
Dude Its not petrol but diesel is being sold in good numbers due to its low price tag compared to others in segment...petrol at all is not worth to buy and very bad value for money
I test drived both Petrol and Diesel and felt Petrol car pick up was not good. Diesel one is excellent. Figo Diesel pick up for seven adults (6 1) was same it was for single person. (We had to travel seven persons due to Bandh in AP). It is giving 21 km per lr of Diesel (its a small town so don't cosider driving in that down as a city drive).
I would like LPG car
Yes boss we want LPG or CNG FIGO HAHAHAHA....
My frnd got a ford figo diesel in june, the car interior was fine while compared with the other manufactures in class but the engine power was very low while compared with other the car takes nearly 30 sec to reach 140kmph, it gets 190NM in 2200rpm only, the mileage is low wn compared with Vista qudrajet (diesel), its gets 18-20km in city and 23 in highways, it reaches its top speed of 158 kmph in just 28sec, the car has 190NM in 1750 rpm itself so undoubtedly the mileage its gives is unmatched to figo or swift, with eurotech gear box the car acceleration is amazing,(drivetech 4). The car is so silent so the rider not even feels is it a diesel car??. Test drive it frnds u may realize it..
18 to 20 in the city!!!! how do you get so much in the city??
I just need to know one best comparison. which is best suited for Indian condition and Indian Middle Class Family! WAGON-R of Ford FIGO?
The best comparison is you drive both the cars, feel the drive quality , overall comfort, ease of driving and the price factor and the features that it gives for the price. I have selected Figo after testing and getting reviews of people who own different models say maruti to fiat to i10 and vista. i short listed vista and figo, i drove indica diesel for 10 years and still love tata car. somehow found vista underpowered and opted for figo and truly v f m . by the way now tata has comeup with vista 90 ,so drive them feel them and grab the right one that you feel is best for your taste. the service part and spares is no big deal all new cars come with good service backup and if you are a good driver and maintain your lady well , you need not worry , also spares of figo etc are reasonable and also they have been selling it in good number, so rest assured, i feel ford cars are dirver s car enjoy the ride.

Dear User, This is in regards to your query posted on the website CarDekho.com, we would like to inform you that Maruti Swift Diesel gives mileage of 14.2 kmpl in city conditions and 17.8 kmpl on highways, whereas Ford Figo Diesel gives mileage of 14.5 kmpl in city conditions and 18.5 kmpl on highways. Maintenance of Maruti Swift is less as compared to Ford Figo. Resale value of Maruti Swift is high as compared to Ford Figo. Thanks
dear,plz suggest me in Diesel swift or Diesel Ford Figo in respect of Their price, mileage,service and maintanance and re-sale value. i want to keep it for long time.
Dear please suggest which one is better value for money car: Ford Figo Petrol or Maruti Ritz for city travelling in Delhi. What is their mileage in City like Delhi.
I've got a diesel figo and I drive it exactly as recommended, in Bangalore traffic any claim of mileage of 13 cannot be true. I had a swift diesel before and i was getting 15 on average.
I have petrol figo driven 24K and gives 16 -17 with ac on highway and about 14.5 in city. I feel this good mileage one should try to change their driving habits.
Dear Car Owners and Drivers, I am also driving my Ford Figo ZXI Petrol in kolkatta and suburbs for last two years and I also think mileage is lower than what company suggested initially.I respect and appreciate all the car owners and drivers in this forum and would like to get some advise with regards to gear changes and RPM adjustments while driving to get the maximum mileage from my petrol car . Its written in car manuals about the gear switches with respect to speeds of car and RPM adjustments ; but nothing like getting opinion and advise from people like you who have hands on experience of driving in Indian roads and Indian metors.My request to all of you to please share your effective ffuel efficient driving points or tips or strategies. Thanks and Regards, Priyankush Ghosh Kolkatta Email id ; pgrd123@in.com Mobile - 09836435358
