The Figo Sports Edition gets a few cosmetic changes and a reworked suspension to make it more exciting. Does it have what it takes to win back the crowd? Here is Nikhil Bhatia with his first impression.

We’ve always loved the Ford Figo for what it is – a car that strikes the right balance between practicality and performance, especially in its diesel form. It did the job well but felt watered down to mass market tastes and didn’t really catch the fancy of driving enthusiasts, as it lacked the sparkle seen on previous-generation Fords. The market’s response then towards the Figo has been lukewarm at best. To revive interest in the hatchback, Ford has just launched a sportier version called the Figo Sports Edition (Figo S), with a few tweaks, at a price of Rs 6.32 lakh for the 1.2-litre petrol and Rs 7.22 lakh for the 1.5-litre diesel.
