Ford Freestyle Spotted Again Ahead Of Its Official Launch
A couple of production units of the Ford Freestyle crossover were recently spotted ahead of its official launch. Expected to go on sale in India in April, Ford's new crossover, or as the company likes to call it, the compact utility vehicle (CUV), will be positioned between the Figo hatchback and the EcoSport subcompact SUV. Based on some of the earlier images we shared, we know that the Ford Freestyle has already started reaching dealerships and the launch is imminent. This time around, we also get to see a new champagne gold colour option for the Ford Freestyle, alongside the already seen copper brown option.

Although the company hasn't announced a date yet, we expect the new Ford Freestyle to be launched towards the second half of April 2018, while bookings are expected to start a bit earlier. In fact, Ford has already added the Freestyle to it official website along with some engine and features details.

Both the engines are three-cylinder units and will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard.
