#AutoExpo2014 updates: Ford unveils Figo Concept and new look Fiesta
The Ford Figo Concept represents a vision of premium design and segment-redefining smart and safety technologies in a global compact car, without compromising on value or performance. Ford has created the Ford Figo Concept using design elements common to more expensive vehicles. The front trapezoidal grille that has a striking Aston Martin-ish look to it, strongly communicates Ford’s design DNA and shapes the vehicle’s hood, giving it a powerful look. The windshield has been inclined as much as possible to give the vehicle a sleek, fast profile. Bold, elongated and blacked-out headlamps accentuate the Figo Concept’s sporty appearance. Sweeping, curved lines moving from the front to the rear of the vehicle create a sense of movement. Light-catchers along the sides of the vehicle, giving the Figo Concept a robust and muscular presence.
