urrently, ford India has two successful models in the Indian car bazaar, which comprise of Ford Fiesta sedan and Ford Figo hatchback. Both of them are offered in diesel and petrol engine variants. And both are loaded with many comfort and safety features. Being reasonably priced has made Ford Figo one of the best hatchbacks in the market today.  However, the high competition in the Indian car market has made Ford’s growth a bit slow as expected. But with the current future plan of Ford India, it seems that it will be climbing the ladder of success pretty quickly.
