Ford has launched a special edition new Figo Blu hatchback in South Africa.<\/p>\n
The Figo is among the best-selling vehicles in the country, selling just under 450 units in May.<\/p>\n
Based on the five-door Figo 1.5 Trend, a limited production run of 360 units are available of the new Figo Blu with a number of styling enhancements.<\/p>\n
The Blu has a black mesh grille, while the the accented fog lamp housings has blue bezels. Black multi-spoke 15-inch alloy wheels replace the Figo Trend’s standard 14-inch versions, in conjunction with black mirror housings and decals that extend along the length of the lower section of the front and rear doors.<\/p>\n
The roof is exclusively painted in black, which provides contrast to the three available body colour choices: Moondust Silver, Oxford White and Smoke Grey.<\/p>\n
Inside the car, all four door panels incorporate blue gloss trim inserts. This is matched to a leather steering wheel, blue stitching for the gearshift gaiter, and the ‘Figo Blu’ logo embroidered on the front floor mats.<\/p>\n
All Figo models include electric windows all round, central locking, perimeter anti-theft alarm and an immobiliser.<\/p>\n
The Figo Blu is equipped with driver and passenger front airbags, and ABS brakes.<\/p>\n
As with the entire Figo range, the New Figo Blu is powered by a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The 1.5 TiVCT engine is credited with a maximum power output of 88kW of power at 6 300 r\/min, and peak torque of 150Nm at 4 250 r\/min.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
