The torque converter in question is likely to be the 6-speed unit from the Ford EcoSport subcompact SUV. On that model, it's paired with the 1.5-litre petrol engine. Barring the new transmission choice, the Ford Figo is expected to be largely the same with the 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol motor churning out 95 bhp and 119 Nm of peak torque. It is currently available with the 5-speed manual gearbox. It's unclear if Ford India will also introduce the automatic transmission on the Aspire subcompact sedan that uses the same engines.
