Engines?
The 2015 Figo hatchback will be powered by the same set of engines powering the Aspire compact sedan. And like the Aspire, the 1.5-liter Ti-VCT 4-cylinder petrol with 6-speed dual-clutch automatic might also find its way in the hatchback, although, the possibilities are low.
1.2-liter Ti-VCT - Heavily modified version of the Figo’s 1.2 Duratec motor. The 4-cylinder block gets independent variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust valve; the motor now generates 88 PS @ 6300 rpm and 112 Nm @ 4000 rpm of peak torque and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission
1.5-liter TDCi - It is expected that Figo will also get the uprated 1.5-liter TDCI diesel with 10 PS power and torque bump, the oil burner now generates 100 PS @ 3750 rpm and class leading torque of 215 Nm @ 1750 - 3000 rpm of torque. The power is sent to a 5-speed manual gearbox and it returns an impressive 25.83 kmpl in the Aspire compact sedan.
1.5-liter Ti-VCT Petrol with 6-Speed DCT - The motor produces 112 PS @ 6300 rpm and 136 Nm @ 4250 rpm of max twist in Aspire. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.
