If a new report is to be believed, Ford is all set to launch the new Freestyle in India on April 18, 2018. The Compact Utility Vehicle (CUV), as the company calls it, was unveiled earlier this year in the month of February. Last week, Ford India began accepting bookings for the new Freestyle via their dealerships against an amount of INR 30,000.
Based on the same platform as the Figo, the new Ford Freestyle features a black honeycomb grille, smoked headlamps, LED DRLs, blacked out fog light housing and a silver scuff plate at the front. On either side, the model comes equipped with black body cladding and grey coloured alloy wheels. Also on offer are contrasting grey roof rails. At the rear, the model receives a redesigned bumper with black coloured inserts as well as a roof-mounted spoiler.
