While Theophilus Chin’s rendering of the Ford Figo SUV should not be taken seriously, it also shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Chin calls this a facelifted Ford Fusion, but because the looks are similar, we’d like to refer to it as the Figo SUV. The Ford Figo rides on the automaker’s Global B-Platform which underpins a whole bunch of vehicles. Reports in the past have indicated mini SUVs from Mahindra and Maruti so one finds no reason for Ford not joining this race. Perhaps the Indian engineers are looking into this option with a sparkle in their eyes.
The Figo SUV gets its front fascia from the recently unveiled Ford Edge. Jacked up ground clearance, larger wheels, bigger mirrors and probably bigger engine with 4×4 should help it conquer harsh terrain.

Won’t it be better to call it Figo MPV, Eh?
