Live updates: Ford Freestyle launch in India
Ford India is all set to launch the Freestyle in a few hours from now. The Ford Freestyle is a crossover that is based on the Figo hatchback. We already got a glimpse of it as Ford had been testing the Freestyle for quite some time now. In terms of design, the Ford Freestyle looks similar to the regular Figo hatch except for the cladding. The powertrain options will be similar to that of the Figo. However, we believe Ford will introduce the 1.2-litre three-cylinder Dragon series petrol engine. The Dragon series made its debut with the new 1.5-litre petrol engine on the 2018 Ford EcoSport. From the camouflaged test mules, one can see that all the variants will sport touchscreen infotainment system, with the lower-spec ones featuring a 6-inch display, while the top-spec variants will have an 8-inch option. A newer 5-speed manual transmission will also make its debut alongside the new engine. The Ford Freestyle will take the competition to other hatchback-based crossovers in the segment including the Hyundai i20 Active, and the Honda WR-V.
