Is the Ground clearance of 190 mm of Ford Freestyle is sufficient or not?

Yes, 190mm of ground clearance is more than enough for it. The raised ground clearance and wider wheels add a bit of character and the Freestyle looks a lot bolder than the regular hatchback. As it sits 16mm higher than the Figo, Ford has had to stiffen up the suspension setup and the anti-roll bar to ensure it doesn’t sway from side to side due to the relatively higher centre of gravity. The 30mm wider track (the distance between the two wheels mounted on the same axle) at the front and rear help improve stability and offers better cornering as well. The wider track also gives the Freestyle a better stance as the wheels jut out from its wells ever so slightly. The electronically assisted steering also plays an important part as it is feather-light for city maneuvers and weighs up well as speeds increase. Do take a test drive in order to get better clarity.

Yes, it is enough for Indian road conditions, not more than enough. If you want more than enough go for ecosport.
The after-sales service would totally depend on the availability of a service center in your city. And for the availability and price of spare parts, we would suggest you to get in touch with the authorized service center. Moreover, as of now, there is no official information available regarding the discontinuation of the car so we would suggest you to stay tuned for updates.
