Volkswagen Polo Facelift Preview

Volkswagen unveiled the facelifted Polo hatchback at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and it has been on sale in various European markets since March, this year. The car retains the same overall shape and design elements but gets multiple changes all over. This is a mid-life facelift and we expect that the German automaker will launch a completely new car sometime in 2015. The new Polo in the European markets is also being offered with a new 1.4-litre diesel engine as well as a new 1.0-litre turbo petrol.

Expected Launch: 15 July 2014

Expected Price: 5 - 8.50 lakhs

Ford Figo Concept Sedan Preview

The Ford Figo Concept is Ford’s new global concept that was unveiled just before Delhi Auto Expo 2014. Unlike the current Figo, it is a compact sedan that will compete with the likes of the Honda Amaze, Suzuki Dzire and the Tata Zest. It will be less than four metres in length, but the concept car has good proportions. Elements like the headlamps, tail lamps, fog lamps, wheels and tyres will not make it as is to production because of the cost target involved. Things like the rear disc brakes will also not make it to production.

The Figo Concept aligns itself with Ford’s “One Ford” philosophy, which means it now looks a lot like the new Mondeo and Taurus. It is a bold new grille, and the headlamps complement the design nicely. The silhouette is pretty much the same as most of the other compact sedans, but the rear is slightly disappointing. Unlike most other cars from the segment, it doesn’t put the rear number plate on the bootlid, instead opting for a low mount on the bumper. This leaves the rear with a look that is a little too vertical despite the horizontal creases that try to alleviate the visual height.

Expected Launch: November 2014

Expected Price: 5.50 - 7.50 lakhs
