Ford Freestyle Specifications

The petrol engine is the new 1.2-litre three-cylinder Dragon unit that churns out 96hp and 120Nm of peak torque, making it the most powerful petrol in its segment. The diesel Freestyle carries forward Ford’s tried-and-tested 1.5-litre, four-cylinder TDCi engine that produces 100hp and 215Nm of peak torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Ford Freestyle Exterior

In terms of styling, the Ford Freestyle does resemble the Figo to a large extent but there are visual differentiators between the two. The former gets a bold honeycomb front grille and a revised bumper with distinctive fog lamps housing. The headlights get a black treatment. There are new 15-inch alloy wheels and the ORVMs are finished in gloss black. The vehicle also gets roof rails which aren’t just for show purposes. They have a load carrying capacity of 50 kgs.

Ford Freestyle Interior

The cabin of the Ford Freestyle, though is similar to the one on the Figo, gets subtle tweaks. Most crucial of it is the addition of the 6.5-inch SYNC3 touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While the dashboard is finished in a dual-tone brown and black colour scheme, the steering wheel, centre console and the instrument cluster have been borrowed from its hatchback cousin. Other features on offer are push-button start, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlamps, automatic climate control, rear-view camera and 6 airbags.
