Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ford Classic Titanium Diesel is a standout in the entry-level sedan segment, particularly for those who prioritize driving dynamics and fuel efficiency. Its 1.4-litre Duratorq diesel engine, although not the most powerful, offers excellent refinement and city drivability with negligible turbo lag. The hydraulic steering is a gem, providing terrific feedback and handling that makes it a joy to drive, especially on twisty roads. The ride quality is phenomenal, absorbing even the largest potholes without discomfort to the passengers. However, the rear seats can feel cramped for tall passengers, and the beige interiors tend to get dirty quickly. Overall, its a great value-for-money package, especially for those who enjoy driving and need a reliable commuter.

Price

When the Ford Classic Titanium Diesel was available in the Indian market, its ex-showroom price in cities like Bangalore was around Rs. 835,533. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, would typically range from Rs. 9.5 to 10.5 lakhs, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing made it an attractive option in the entry-level sedan segment, offering a balance of features, performance, and economy that was hard to match at that price point.
