The Ford Figo has just sold 3,00,000 units and Ford India is celebrating the milestone with several new dealerships across the country.
Ford India plans to open five new dealerships across tier II and III markets including Solan, Sri Ganganagar, Gaya, Anand and Sikar. Dealership facilities are also coming up in Faridabad and Kochi, to celebrate the milestone with its customers during the festive month of August.
The Figo hatchback has been a game-changer for Ford, “adding one new customer every five minutes” in the words of the company. Within three years of launch, it has crossed the 300,000 unit sales milestone for domestic and exports volume. Together with its success in India, the Figo is being exported to 37 international markets, positioning India as a world-class manufacturing hub for Ford. It was also recently voted as India’s Most Dependable Premium Compact vehicle in the 2013 JD Power Asia Pacific Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS).
Joginder Singh, President and MD, Ford India said, “The Figo continues to be a game-changer for Ford in India and has helped position Ford as a significant player. We debuted in the small car segment with the Figo and continue to offer a compelling choice for customers who want a vehicle that offers a quality, safe, fuel efficient and substantial value package. Today, as we celebrate the 300,000 sales milestone, I thank our customers in India and international markets for making the Figo their product of choice and placing their confidence in the Ford brand.”
The Figo is available with a choice of a 1.2-litre petrol or 1.4-litre diesel engine, in four variants each, starting from Rs 4.6 lakh (on road, Pune).
