Sedans measuring in more than 4 metres to 4.5 metres which belong to the compact sedan segment haven't been doing too well and the figures tell the tale. This includes cars like the Hyundai Verna, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and even the Toyota Yaris and Honda City.

Ford India has finally launched the much anticipated 2018 Aspire facelift in India.The 2018 Ford Aspire facelift comes with cosmetic updates, a host of new and updated features, and two new petrol engines. Here we list down some of the key features that the 2018 Ford Aspire facelift brings to the sub-4-metre sedan space.

Ford has pulled the wraps off the 2018 Figo sedan for the South African markets, ahead of its launch soon. The 2018 Ford Figo sedan is the longer version of the Aspire subcompact sedan sold in India, and the updated model will be making its way to the Indian market later this year. It has to be noted that the Figo sedan and the sub 4-metre Aspire are both manufactured at the automaker's Sanand facility in Gujarat, with the Figo sedan exported to markets overseas.

The Ford Aspire facelift has been spied again and this time around we also get a sneak-peek of the new cabin, which now comes with a dashtop touchscreen infotainment system similar to the Freestyle and EcoSport.

Few recently surfaced images suggest that Ford India has ended the production of the current Aspire sedan at the Sanand plant in Gujarat. The images which appear to have been taken inside the manufacturing facility, show the last unit of the current Ford Aspire being rolled out of the production line.
