Ford India sold 7,979 vehicles in combined domestic wholesales and exports in June, compared to 11,935 vehicles in the corresponding month last year. June domestic wholesales stood at 4,527 vehicles against 7,258 units in the same month last year, while exports were 3,452 vehicles compared to 4,677 units in June 2014.
“With three new products planned over the next 9 months, we will usher in excitement with the introduction of our compact sedan Figo Aspire and are well on-course to give customers even more reasons to visit Ford showrooms in the near future,” said Anurag Mehrotra, executive director Marketing, Sales and Service at Ford India.
The minor lapse in sales should soon be addressed by the soon-to-be-launched Figo Aspire compact sedan, which promises to be a shot in the arm for Ford India. The Aspire features contemporary styling inside out, a choice of two engines (1.5L TDCi diesel engine and 1.2L TiVCT petrol engine), along with – for the first time in a compact sedan in India – side and curtain airbags for an extra level of protection.
