Ford Figo Is Best “Indian Car Of The Year”
Ford Figo was judged as best indian car on various parameters such as price, fuel efficiency, design, comfort, safety, performance, functionality, environmental responsibility and driver/rider satisfaction among others. In addition, technical innovation and value for money were particularly important factors while deciding on the winner. Cars that have had cosmetic facelifts or small mechanical changes like different power or drive trains, do not qualify for these awards. The country of origin does not matter, but they have to be sold in showrooms in India before 30th November of the previous year and should have been homologated for Indian type approval.
On winning the best indian car award, President& MD of Ford India (Ford Figo), Michael Boneham, said, "Coming close on the heels of the Ford Figo's immense popularity with over 58,000 units sold in past eight months, this industry-wide recognition truly establishes it as a performance car. The critical acclaim from the experts reinforces the faith in Ford Figo as one of the best products in its class available today."
