Given the constraints of 4 metres,you have to give it to the Blue oval guys.Very balanced design,the face is awesome.Hope they price it reasonably.

I think front and rear looks smart, the rear tail lights resemble the Ford EDGE concept and if the tail light cluster lights up in the angular C shape it will look superb with Ford Mondeo like indicator lights(spindle shaped)
Auto Expo 2014: New Ford Figo compact sedan concept photo gallery | Car Gallery | Entry-level hatchbacks | Autocar India
Overall a very good car and this thing is 90% Ford Escort mini concept shown at Auto show Shanghai 2013
2015 Ford Escort Sedan Concept - Shanghai Show - YouTube
The bigger and more important news that I await is after production version gets out, The INTERIORS where Ford is famous for its cheap looking plastics, from the info I have its going to get almost same Interior of Ford Ecosport

Great front design from the US car maker, equally simple rear![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
.
Just loved the overall look of the car.![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
Hope the production doesnt end up in ES scene, by importing most of the mfgd cars![[anger]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Anger.gif "Anger [anger]")
.
And hopefully better interiors compared to their existing standards.

Re: Global Announcement From Ford on 3rd Feb 2014
Yet another India's first, Ford has unveiled the Figo Compact Sedan Concept this noon in New Delhi. Present at the occasion was Ford India’s new President, Nigel Harris, Vinay Piparsania (Executive Director, Marketing), Kumar Galhotra (VP, Engineering) and Ehab Kaoud (Chief Designer, North America). Since it was an unveiling event, no specific information regarding the production model was revealed. Personally speaking, I also found the event to be less grand in comparison to what we witnessed in case of EcoSport and former all-new products.
New Ford Figo Sedan Concept:
> This car is inline with Ford’s vision for an all-new global compact car for India and emerging markets.
> Sub-four meter length will ensure a competitive pricing while offering a host of innovative features.
> Ford expects compact car sales in India to grow from ~1 million units in 2013 to ~2 million units in 2018.
> Ford aims to bring unexpected level of refinement in this segment, using elements from high-end cars.
> The car will be equipped with a dedicate space to hold and charge your gadgets such as mobile phones.
Misc Pointers From Event:
> Ford is planning to introduce 23 new products worldwide in 2014.
> It is opening up 6 new facilities in Asia Pacific, including an engine and manufacturing plant in Sanand.
> The company is targeting to export its cars to 50 markets worldwide from India within next 5 Years.
> Much hyped EcoSport has received 60,000+ orders so far and Ford is constantly working to clear backlog.
> Ford has also announced introduction a new service package called “Happy Pocket Service” at Rs.2,199.
> New Ford Figo Compact Sedan is based on the idea of breaking segments into sub-segments to target wide range of customers.

I agree anshuman, looking at the launching versions tata zest is miles ahead and is impressive with how they have gone this far with the quality they improved from their previous versions.
Just saw vibhors post, the rear quater and ends are similar to chevy new sail as well as what tata zest has on its rear.Or its me who feels it that way![[confused]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Confused.gif "Confused [confused]")

The alloy wheels surely does not seem to for production version.
Also see the badge as "figo concept". I think this will undergo test and re skin before the final version.
Lastly there is something "missing" in the car.

The car looks a lot like Mini Cooper design which is good. though the rear looks a but out of place to me. And yes, creating sub segments is the best way to fight the competition. Good move !
