2009 Ford Ikon diesel review, road test
While the jury is out on whether the styling works or not, you cant get away from the fact that the ten-year old Ikon is pretty long in the tooth

To make it easier on the wallet, Ford has transplanted the Fiesta’s frugal diesel motor into the ageing Ikon in a bid to give it a fresh lease of life. A facelift has also been served up. The Ikon gets an all-new nose which follows Ford’s modern ‘Kinetic design’ theme but it looks more like a mid-’90s Ford and we miss the cat-eyed headlamps that characterised the Ikon. The headlights are all new, as are the bumper and fog lamps. That apart, the sides, flanks and rear of the car are indistinguishable from the earlier model. The wheel cap design is new though, but Ikon goes back to a 13-inch rim size, unlike the NXT which had 14-inch wheels.
