The regular Figo is already a very competitive offering in its segment but the special edition Ford Figo Blu was developed for buyers who want to really stand out, those who are "bold, seek uniqueness and push beyond the boundaries".
The Figo Blu is based on the five-door Figo 1.5 Trend and has a limited production run of 360 units. It can easily be distinguished from the standard Figo by these enhancements.

3. Safety
On the safety front, the Figo Blu is equipped with driver and passenger front airbags as well as ABS brakes. The car is also fitted with central locking, perimeter anti-theft alarm and an immobiliser.
4. Engine
As with the entire Ford Figo range, the New Figo Blu is powered by a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. This latest-generation unit is powerful, efficient and clean, and uses an aluminium engine block and cylinder head for reduced weight.
It relies on twin independent variable camshaft timing (TiVCT) for the four-valves-per-cylinder engine to deliver impressive low-down torque as well as top-end power. The fitment of a dual-stage variable oil pump further enhances efficiency, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
The 1.5 TiVCT engine is credited with a maximum power output of 88kW of power at 6 300 rpm, and peak torque of 150Nm at 4 250 rpm for great all-round driving dynamics, impressive fuel economy and low running costs.
The five-speed transmission used on the Figo Blu has an EcoMode with shift indicator, which informs the driver of the ideal point to shift up or down a gear, thereby helping to further reduce fuel consumption.
