Ford India has made a rejig to its line-up and discontinued the aging Classic, Figo and the low-selling Fiesta models. The Figo Aspire (Click here for our review of the Ford Figo Aspire) will be replacing the Classic and the current gen Figo will be replaced by the upcoming new gen Figo hatchback slated to be launched in around a month.
As already stated, the Figo will be replaced by the new-gen model and hence has been discontinued. The reason for discontinuation of the Classic and Fiesta has to do with the abysmally low sales figures for quite a few months. According to recent reports, the rumor stating that the current gen Figo could be dubbed Figo Classic and continue to be sold have also been squashed.
Ford India is working towards launching the new Endeavour ( Click here for our first drive impressions of the new Endeavour )and the new gen Figo in the coming months. Although not confirmed yet, Ford India could surprise us by also launching the 2015 Mustang as a halo offering. The Mustang has been already spied on the Indian soil.
“As part of our commitment to customers in India, we continue to investigate ways in which we can meet the needs of customers with more products,” said Anurag Mehrotra, executive director for marketing, sales and service.
With the models being discontinued, the Ford India line-up will comprise of the new Endeavour, Figo Aspire, new Figo hatchback and the EcoSport. What do you think of this move from Ford India ?

Oh no 🙁 I was contemplating to buy new fiesta due to boron steel it uses 🙁 🙁 foolish ford. Aspire fails in front of zest. steel not of good strength as compared to Zest and moreover no Auto diesel which zest has…..
So sad that Ford has discontinued new Fiesta. It's a brilliant car. The low sales were due to the bad policies of Ford India ! You have left ur customers in the lurch . Discontinuation of Fiesta classic n Figo is justified. Improve rear set legroom in the NEW FIESTA and restore customer confidence especially the ones who have dared to buy New Fiesta !
