    Ford has just unveiled production versions of the new Figo Aspire compact sedan, and has started production at its brand new Sanand plant in Gujarat.

    The Ford Figo Aspire will be powered by the new 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 1.5-litre DV5 turbo-diesel engine. The Ford Figo Aspire will also get a 1.5-litre petrol motor mated to a six-speed twin-clutch automatic gearbox. The carmaker has already started testing the new Figo in both, hatchback and compact sedan forms in India.
