Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Ford Freestyle
- 190mm of ground clearance is adequate for both on and off road conditions
- The diesel version gets the tried-and-tested 1.5-litre TDCI engine that also powers the Figo, Aspire and the EcoSport
- The Ford Freestyle gets a new, punchy 1.2-litre petrol engine (96PS/120Nm), which also happens to be the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in its class
- Mature ride quality; the Freestyle practically absorbs the undulations better than the Figo/Aspire with improved damping
- Dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors are offered as standard in the Ford Freestyle
- New slick-shifting 5-speed manual available with both the engines; significantly improved shift quality over the previous unit
- No compromise on the safety front as the Freestyle Titanium and Titanium+ variants come equipped with ESP (electronic stability program), TC (traction control) and HLA (hill hold assist).
Volkswagen Polo
- Punchy turbo engine
- Solid build quality
- Enthusiast handling
- Clean and classic looks

Ford Freestyle
- Absence of projector headlamps, daytime running lamps and LED tail lamps in the Ford Freestyle may be a turn off for some
- Figo-related issues - limited cabin space, sub-par material quality, non-adjustable rear headrests, lack of reach adjustment for the steering wheel and driver’s armrest.
- The Ford Freestyle doesn’t offer an automatic variant, unlike the Figo and the Aspire
Volkswagen Polo
- Missing features like a reverse camera
- Lack of rear seat space
- Priced at a premium
- DSG automatic no longer available
- No diesel engine option
