INTRODUCTION
Ford has launched the all-new Figo-based crossover Freestyle in India. This car will challenge Honda WR-V, Toyota Etios Cross, Hyundai i20 Active etc. Despite being based on the Ford Figo, the Ford Freestyle comes with distinctive appearance that grabs attention easily. Considering the fact that Indian customers love the crossovers and SUvs, this model is expected to become popular. This stylish and attractive looking car comes priced between Rs. 5.09 lakh and Rs. 7.89 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
EXTERIOR
Speaking about the styling, Ford Freestyle comes with a stylish and eye-catching appearance that grabs attention at the very first glimpse. Despite being based on the Figo hatchback, the car appears distinctive. It gets a large black front grille flanked by sharp laid back headlamps. A muscular looking front bumper is there as well. It runs on sporty alloy wheels. Dimensionally, it measures 3,957 mm in length and 1,737 mm in width. The five-door crossover gets a 2,490 mm of wheelbase and it comes with 190 mm of impressive ground clearance.
At the back, the Ford Freestyle gets compact and sharp looking taillights. Skid plates at front and rear of the car adds practicality.
INTERIOR
Like the exterior, cabin of the Ford Freestyle is also attractive looking thanks to its design and the features onboard. It gets multifunction steering wheel, dual-pod instrument cluster with analog and digital display, a dashtop touchscreen infotainment system with Ford SYNC3.
The cabin offers ample space for the occupants ensuring a comfortable journey experience. It gets high quality fabric on seats and upholstery.
ENGINE & PERFORMANCE
Ford Freestyle is available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine options. Transmission duty is done by a 5-speed manual gearbox in the Ford Freestyle. The petrol motor generates 95 bhp of peak power and 120 Nm of peak torque, while the diesel motor kicks out 99 bhp of peak power and 215 Nm of peak torque.
The Ford Freestyle petrol offers 19 kmpl of mileage, while the diesel variant returns 24.4 kmpl.
The Ford Freestyle is not meant for hardcore off-roading, but it certainly serves the purpose if you want to hit the dust for fun. Both the petrol and diesel engines are well tuned and do their duty perfectly.
BRAKING AND SAFETY
Ford Freestyle gets six airbags, ABS with EBD and Electronic Stability Program. Also, the car uses front disc brakes and rear drum units for stopping power. Other safety features include Hill Hold Control, Traction Control etc.
Ford Freestyle certainly brings freshness in the American auto manufacturer’s India portfolio. This crossover looks urban and stylish and it comes priced competitively against the rivals. Surely it will grab attention of the buyers and the car is likely to show impressive sales performance.

Need Improvement
When buying a new car in general one must look for things like body panels that are out of line, or load bearing beams that seem to have been damaged. The next thing to check whether the paint is original or it has been repainted, a quick check under concealed plastic panels is a great way to check for unmatched paint. Another thing to check for is underbody rust in humid or sea adjacent areas.
A good way to check if the car has been rear-ended is by checking the boot. Flip open the spare wheel cover and remove the wheel completely. If the car was repaired after an accident the floor will have visible signs as the surface wouldn’t be smooth as it would in an undamaged car.
In the end, always remember to check for complete documentation including service records. Also, do check with the insurance company for any past claims, which will make you aware of the accidents the car has been involved in. Last but not the least, get the car checked from a trusted workshop before closing the deal.
