Ford Figo review, road test

The Figo has plenty up its sleeve to ensure it can stretch each litre of fuel far. Of course, the low kerb weight helps but Ford has also given the Figo plenty of aero tweaks to make the car as aerodynamic as possible. There’s a rubberised lip spoiler up front that pushes the air flow under the components of the engine while there’s a ridge behind the mirrors to smoothen air flow around the windows. The Aspire also has small protrusions behind the rear wheel arches to prevent drag-inducing vortices from forming around the bumper. It all helps because the Figo diesel’s ARAI-tested fuel economy of 25.8kpl is among the best in class.
