Ford Figo Aspire VS Maruti Swift Dzire: Feature and Specification Comparison

 Design and Styling:

The new Figo Aspire has been built based on Ford’s new design philosophy that underpins the EcoSport and new Fiesta. So in terms of looks we have to say the Figo Aspire is one of the best in the segment. The new wide horizontal grill and the muscular bumper really give the car an aggressive look, while the sharp headlamp cluster and the sleek bonnet line add to the style cue that can be even seen on the side profile.

Compared the all-new Figo Aspire the Swift Dzire has been is the market for quite a while now and has also received two facelifts. The car looks very much similar to the previous models except for some few notable changes. It still has that beefy persona but now on the front you can see a single chrome slate grille along with chrome inserted fog lamps and smoked headlamps. The bumpers have been redesigned and new sportier alloys have been added.

Judging by the design we have to say the Figo Aspire looks a tad bit more stylish and aggressive. The body finishes of the Aspire looks more premium and overall give you the satisfaction of owning a much stylish compact sedan.

In comparison, India's top-selling compact sedan- the Swift Dzire comes with some nice and premium quality interiors but is not as roomy as the Aspire for second row passengers.

Engine Specification:

The Ford Figo Aspire compact sedan will be offered in both petrol and diesel guise. The petrol motor is an all-new 1.2-litre Ti-VCT unit, which is claimed to be powerful and efficient. We expect this engine to develop about 80bhp and 110Nm of torque. The oil burner is the same 1.5-litre 4-cylinder that powers the Fiesta that the company claims is much peppier and fun to drive than the one in the later. In Fiesta the diesel engine produces 89bhp and 204Nm of torque.
