<p>One area that has changed drastically for the next Gen Figo is the performance segment thanks to introduction of new Diesel and petrol units under the hood. It comes with the option of two petrol units and a single diesel heart that is by far one of the best performers in its segment. Its 1.5 litre TDCi sole diesel unit manages to deliver power in triple digits at 100 PS at 3750 rpm along with a punchy torque of 215 Nm between 1750 - 3000 rpm. Mated to a 5 speed manual transmission, the diesel unit however misses out on the automatic transmission available with the top spec petrol unit. Irrespective of the manual mode, the power delivery with the 1.5 diesel unit remains very linear and it does pack a punch even at lower rpms making it very easy to nimble around city roads and it breathes brilliantly on open highway stretches as well. Coming to its petrol avatars, Ford offers an economical 1.2 litre Ti-VCT petrol unit which delivers a decent 88 PS of power at a higher 6300 rpm along with 112 Nm of peak torque at 4000 rpm mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox. But the real performer on the roads has to be its bigger sibling on offer. Truly an enthusiast engine, the 1.5 litre T-VCT petrol unit packs an impressive 112 PS of power which is available at 6300 rpm along with a peak torque delivery of 136 Nm at 4250 rpm. To add icing on the cake, Ford has even equipped this bigger petrol unit with a 6 speed dual clutch PowerShift automatic gearbox which offers butter smooth shifts and makes for an exciting drive. The suspension setup of the Figo is still on the softer side which makes it an ideal city commuter. But what the new Figo really misses out on performance is the sturdy-ness and confident drive that the earlier version of this hatchback used to offer despite being low on power figures.
