Ford has taken the wraps off its next generation Figo with a hot new sub-4 meter concept
Ford India has unveiled a new compact sedan concept called the Figo Concept. The Figo Concept which will take on the likes of the Honda Amaze and soon to be launched Hyundai Grand i10 sedan will make production this year. The Figo Concept which will measure under 4-metres will come with options of two engines - one petrol and one diesel.
India's high selling small cars fail Global NCAP test
Volkswagen India has announced that the Polo will now come with driver and passenger airbags as standard. A great move. What the release failed to mention however was that the reason for this move was the Polo's inability to meet the Global NCAP test in its base form. The base versions of the Polo hitherto did not come with any airbags at all. But Volkswagen's move must be seen in good light, at least for its future customers.
The Polo wasn't the only car that was subjected to a frontal crash test carried out at 64kmph; there were others, even more popular small cars, cars like the Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, the Ford Figo, the Hyundai i10 and India's most affordable car - the Tata Nano. These cars were tested in their base trims as well, and none of them had airbags. And all of these cars failed the test as well. But, unlike Volkswagen, none of the other car makers decided to make airbags standard across the model range to register a better score.
