With its great built quality, smart comfort features, and class-leading safety features, the Ford Figo is worthy of being at the top of our list. Moreover, the Figo is also one of the most stylish looking hatchbacks with the Aston Martin-like front grille, stylish headlamps, alloy wheels and much more on offer. The Figo also comes with smart offerings like - Ford in-car connective system SYNC with AppLink, Ford MyKey and My Ford Dock and gets dual airbags as standard with six airbags in the top-of-the-line variant. The Figo also offers multiple powertrain options - 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine that comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. Ford also offer a more powerful 1.5-litre petrol option that comes mated to a dual clutch transmission automatic unit. However, the Figo has started to age, and if reports are to be believed, then Ford is working on a facelifted version of the Figo, which will come soon to the Indian market.
