About

The Ford Classic CLXi is a variant of the Ford Fiesta Classic, which was essentially the previous generation of the Ford Fiesta rebadged and continued in production. This car is powered by either a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 101 PS or a 1.4-liter TDCI turbo diesel engine. Both engines are mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The CLXi variant is well-equipped with features such as power steering, power windows, central locking, and a 2 DIN CD-MP3 player. It also includes height-adjustable driver seats and automatic AC, enhancing comfort. The cars handling and ride quality are praised, especially in city driving conditions, making it a comfortable and reliable choice for family outings and daily commutes. Despite its discontinuation, the Ford Classic CLXi remains a viable option in the used car market for those seeking a dependable and feature-rich sedan.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ford Classic CLXi is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and comfortable commuter car. While its exterior design may seem dated, the interior is well-appointed, especially in the Titanium variant, with a neat beige and black finish, a black dashboard with brushed silver vents, and an excellent music system. The cars AC unit is highly effective, even in harsh Indian climates. The ride quality is decent, though the suspension could be better, and the engine, particularly in the 4th to 5th gear range, is smooth and powerful. However, it lacks agility, which is a trade-off for its role as a point-to-point commuter. Overall, its a good option for those prioritizing comfort, mileage, and reliability over sleek design and high-performance driving.

Price

The Ford Classic CLXi was priced competitively in the Indian market during its time. The ex-showroom price for the CLXi variant ranged from approximately Rs. 5.77 lakh to Rs. 6.96 lakh, depending on whether you opted for the petrol or diesel engine. On-road prices varied by location but generally fell in the range of Rs. 7.5 lakh to Rs. 8.5 lakh, including taxes, registration, and other costs. This pricing made it an attractive option for buyers looking for a mid-segment sedan with a balance of features and affordability. However, its important to note that the Ford Classic has been discontinued since 2015, so these prices are historical and may not reflect current market values.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 07 September 2023 08:24 PM The Ford Classic CLXi continues to be a strong contender in the Indian market, outperforming its replacement model, the new Fiesta, in terms of monthly sales. This re-badged and re-positioned previous generation Fiesta is known for its reassuring build, excellent driving dynamics, and responsive engines. Despite its dated looks and cramped rear seat, it remains a viable option for driving enthusiasts on a budget. I believe its performance and affordability make it a great choice for those seeking a reliable sedan.

Thursday, 07 September 2023 10:27 AM Ford India has announced a Limited Edition version of the Classic sedan, which is essentially the previous generation Fiesta. This move is part of Fords strategy to penetrate deeper into the entry-level sedan segment. The Classic sedan is available with a 1.6-liter petrol engine and a 1.4-liter turbo diesel engine, and prices start at Rs. 5.99 lakh for the petrol base variant and Rs. 7.26 lakh for the diesel base variant. I think this limited edition will help Ford clear inventory and meet market demands effectively.

Wednesday, 14 June 2023 03:16 PM Ford has unveiled a new limited edition of the Classic CLXi variant, which includes several features previously available only on the top-end Titanium models. This limited edition comes with front fog lamps, a rear spoiler, reverse parking sensors, chrome finish on the grill and interior, and 175/65 14-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tires. These additions make the car more appealing to entry-level C-segment sedan buyers. I think these upgrades will definitely attract more customers looking for a stylish and feature-packed sedan.

Monday, 23 July 2012 04:09 PM The Ford Classic CLXi has been refreshed with new interior features, including an Ebony and Jasper Blue colored instrument panel, a new center and floor console finished in Graphic Metallic, and new seats with soft feel fabric. The car also comes in a new body color, Colorado Red. These updates make the Classic more attractive and affordable, with petrol variants starting at Rs. 549,030 and diesel variants at Rs. 648,000. I believe these cosmetic updates will enhance the cars appeal to potential buyers.

Monday, 23 July 2012 07:28 PM Ford has rebranded the Fiesta Classic as the Ford Classic, introducing a new Titanium variant and a more competitive price range. The Ford Classic is available in both petrol and diesel options, with the Titanium petrol starting at Rs. 6.86 lakh. The Titanium variant features beige interiors and retains the same 1.6-liter Duratec petrol and 1.4-liter Duratorq diesel engines. I think this rebranding and pricing strategy will help Ford regain market share in the sedan segment.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 01:31 AM The Ford Classic CLXi offers commendable mileage, making it a cost-effective choice for daily commuting. The petrol variant delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of 14.09 kmpl, while the diesel variant achieves an impressive 20 kmpl. In real-world conditions, owners have reported mileage figures close to these numbers, which is a significant advantage for those concerned about running costs. This fuel efficiency, combined with its reliable engine, makes the Ford Classic CLXi a practical option for those prioritizing economy.
