The images of the test mule you see here have been shot in Detroit. From the first look, it seems to be based on the next generation Ka. Expect changes to be made to the test mule when it comes to India. Ford India, in all probability would like to contain the length of the car to less than 4 meters to avail of the excise duty cut. It has also been learnt that the American carmaker is contemplating calling the new gen Figo sedan as Ka Max or Ka sedan for the Brazilian market, as it recently asked potential customers as to what they would like the new sedan to be christened as.

Engines would be chosen from the 1.2 petrol, powering the Figo, 1.0 Ecoboost, 1.5 Ti-VCT on the Fiesta and Ecosport and the 1.5 TDCi. Of these we’ll put our money on the 1.5 TDCi and the 1.0 Ecoboost.
