Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ford Aspire Ambiente is a compelling option in the compact sedan segment, especially for those prioritizing comfort, safety, and features without breaking the bank. The cars comfortable ride quality is a standout, effortlessly handling potholes and broken surfaces, making it a joy to drive in urban conditions. The light clutch, steering, and gear action further enhance its city-driving credentials. However, the petrol engine, while silent and smooth, can feel a bit underpowered, particularly during gear shifts. The absence of top-spec petrol automatic and diesel-automatic combinations is a notable omission. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Aspire Ambientes well-loaded lower variants, advanced safety features like up to six airbags, and the intuitive 6.5-inch touchscreen make it a solid choice for those seeking a balanced package of comfort, safety, and value.

Price

The Ford Aspire Ambiente is priced competitively in the Indian market, with the ex-showroom price starting from around Rs 7.28 lakh in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around Rs 8.5 lakh to Rs 9 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Aspire Ambiente an attractive option for buyers looking for a feature-rich compact sedan without a hefty price tag. Given the current market scenario and the features offered, the Aspire Ambiente provides good value for money, especially considering the comfort and safety it brings to the table.

Latest Updates

Monday, 11 November 2024 09:36 AM Ford has announced that it will stop production of its locally sold models, including the Ford Aspire, though the current lineup will be on sale until stocks last. The company will continue to offer support to existing Ford car owners. The Ford Aspire is priced from Rs 7.28 lakh to Rs 8.73 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). I think this move will impact the market significantly, but Fords commitment to supporting existing customers is reassuring.

Wednesday, 19 February 2020 08:21 PM The 2020 Ford Aspire was introduced with compliance to Bharat Stage VI emission norms, offering both petrol and diesel engines across all variants. The prices started from Rs 599,000 for the base variant, with the top Titanium+ variant priced at Rs 744,000 for petrol and Rs 834,000 for diesel. I believe this update made the Aspire a strong contender in the compact sedan segment with its balanced performance and emissions compliance.

Wednesday, 31 July 2019 04:59 PM In July 2019, Ford India offered special finance offers on the Ford Aspire, including a 48-month loan tenure with a 20% initial down payment and a 20% end-of-period bullet payment. This offer was available at select Ford dealerships across India, excluding Jammu & Kashmir. I think such finance offers were beneficial for customers looking to purchase the Aspire with more manageable payment plans.

Monday, 08 October 2018 06:20 AM The 2018 Ford Aspire facelift included new engines and additional features such as a SYNC 3 system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and emergency assistance that automatically calls emergency services in case of an accident. The car was produced at Ford India’s Sanand Factory in Gujarat. I believe these updates made the Aspire more appealing with its advanced technology and safety features.

Thursday, 04 October 2018 11:27 AM In 2018, Ford India introduced the New Ford Aspire with a compelling introductory price starting from Rs 555,000. This compact sedan featured segment-best technologies, best-in-class safety, and a fun-to-drive DNA. It also came with a first-in-class five-year or 100,000 KM warranty. I think this launch was a significant step for Ford in enhancing customer satisfaction and peace of mind.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 03:10 PM The Ford Aspire Ambiente offers respectable mileage figures, which can be a significant factor for buyers concerned about running costs. The 1.2-litre petrol variant delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of 20.4 kmpl, while the 1.5-litre diesel variant achieves an impressive 26.1 kmpl. These figures are competitive in the compact sedan segment and suggest that the Aspire Ambiente can be economical to run, especially for those who prioritize fuel efficiency.
