This article gives a brief review of four cars that came onto the Indian roads very lately. Read through for a hint about the cars and their performance.
Ford Figo:
Based on the Ford Global B platform, the Figo is capable of assassinating all other cars in the hatchback segment. It is considered as the cool car though. It is as good as or better than other cars in the small car segment. With its sleek and chic appearance, the Figo can attract anybody. The four-metre long car ensures an imposing look. The Figo offers matchless ride quality. The car does not mind the speed breakers on the Indian road and doesn’t let you moan in pain while jumping over the humps. The technology of the Figo is similar to that in Ford Fiesta. The car comes in a total of 8 petrol and diesel variants. The fuel economy is quite good. The 1.2L Dura Tec petrol engine gives 10.9 and 15.4 kmpl on city and highway respectively. The 1.4L Dura Torq diesel engine delivers 14.1/18.5 on city and highway. The engine is mated with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Volkswagen Polo:
The Polo was the European Car of the Year in 2009. It has been designed specifically for the Indians keeping the Indian roads in mind. The car is available in both diesel and petrol variants and is present in a range of 6 colours. The petrol variant can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hr in 14.2 seconds and the diesel variant can do the same in 14.4 seconds. The flashy car has a 5-speed manual gearbox allowing crisp and accurate shifts. The exteriors come with a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty and the interiors contain advanced technologies for smooth and safe driving. The car gives an impressive mileage of 13.7 and 22.2 km/l on city and highway roads respectively.
