4. Ford Figo Aspire: Engine</br><br> There are three alternatives as far as engine is concerned with Ford Figo Aspire offering a 1.2 TiVCT petrol engine, 1.5 litre diesel engine and 1.5 TiVCT petrol engine. The 1.2 litre petrol engine gives power of 88PS while the 1.5 litre petrol engine delivers 112PS power. The 1.5 litre diesel on the other hand, produces 100PS power. In terms of transmission, the 1.2 liter petrol and 1.5 liter diesel will come mated to 5-speed manual transmission while the powerful 1.5 liter TDCi petrol mill will come paired to segment first 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. This dual clutch automatic variant is something that would give this car a needed boost to make its space in the segment. (Car Dekho)
