The Ford Figo Aspire is due to launch in India next month, and Ford India have started campaigns to promote the car and get the word out to buyers. The car maker is also showcasing the Figo Aspire at various shopping malls in the country for prospective buyers to touch and feel the compact sedan.

The Figo Aspire will be powered by a 1.2-liter petrol and a 1.5-liter diesel engine, apart from a 1.5-liter petrol matched to a DCT.

RushLane has obtained a promotional brochure of the Figo Aspire which confirms the engine options and a few main features of the Dzire rival.

As reported earlier, the Figo Aspire will get a 1.2-liter TiVCT petrol engine and a 1.5-liter TDCi diesel engine. Additionally, a 1.5-liter petrol matched to Ford's 6-speed dual-clutch PowerShift transmission will also be on offer. The ARAI-rated fuel efficiencies of these engines, or even their power and torque outputs are yet to be disclosed.

The Figo Aspire and the new Figo hatchback will be made in Sanand, Gujarat.
