Ford Freestyle Flair Edition

About
The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition is the range-topping variant in the Freestyle lineup, introduced to add a touch of style and flair to the existing model. It retains the same performance and driveability as the standard Freestyle but gets several styling updates, including red accents and new decals both inside and out. The car is available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine, both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The interior is spacious with decent cushioning and bolstering on the seats, and it features a robust build quality along with advanced safety features like six airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability program. The Freestyle Flair is designed to appeal to those who want a fun-to-drive vehicle that also offers good value for money.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition is a compelling package for those who enjoy spirited driving and are looking for a vehicle that stands out in the subcompact SUV segment. The cars driving dynamics are exceptional, with a steering that weighs up well at high speeds and a suspension setup that handles both city roads and highways with ease. The interior, though largely unchanged, gets a stylish boost with red accents and new decals, making it look sporty and distinctive. However, it does lag behind in terms of premium features compared to some of its rivals. Despite this, its build quality, safety features including six airbags, and competitive pricing make it a top pick in the sub Rs. 10 lakh price bracket.
Price
The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the top-spec variant is around Rs. 7.69 lakh, which is significantly cheaper than its closest rival, the Honda WR-V VX. When you factor in the on-road price, which includes additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other taxes, it still remains an attractive option. For instance, in major cities like Delhi or Mumbai, the on-road price would be approximately Rs. 9-10 lakh, depending on local taxes and other charges. This pricing makes the Freestyle Flair a value-for-money proposition, especially considering its performance, safety features, and overall driving experience.
Latest Updates
Wednesday, 12 August 2020 08:18 AM The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition, launched in August 2020, is a special edition of the Ford Freestyle, available in both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol version is priced at Rs. 7.69 lakh, while the diesel version is priced at Rs. 8.79 lakh. This edition features a sporty red and black theme, including a black-painted roof, red roof rails, and black alloy wheels. I think these aesthetic updates make the car look more youthful and appealing.
Wednesday, 12 August 2020 09:36 PM The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition boasts advanced technology features, including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with embedded satellite navigation, automatic headlamps, automatic wipers, and a rear-view parking camera. It also comes with Ford’s in-car connectivity suite, FordPass. I believe these features enhance the driving experience significantly.
Wednesday, 12 August 2020 09:26 PM Ford India introduced the Freestyle Flair Edition as a top-of-the-line variant, building on the success of the Ford Freestyle. This new edition is based on the top-spec Titanium+ variant and adds Rs. 30,000 to the price, making it a premium offering in the compact utility vehicle segment. I think this move is strategic to attract more buyers during the festive season.
Wednesday, 12 August 2020 08:38 AM The Freestyle Flair Edition comes with powerful engine options, including a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 96 HP and 119 Nm of torque, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 100 HP and 215 Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. I believe these engines provide a good balance of power and fuel efficiency.
Wednesday, 12 August 2020 08:36 PM The interior of the Ford Freestyle Flair Edition features a black and grey upholstery with red accents on the door handles and seats, maintaining the sporty theme. The cabin is designed to be action-oriented and spacious. I think the interior design complements the exterior well, making it a cohesive package.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:40 PM The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition offers impressive mileage figures, making it a practical choice for daily driving. The 1.2-litre petrol engine delivers a claimed fuel economy of 18.5 kmpl, while the 1.5-litre diesel engine is even more frugal, offering 23.8 kmpl. These numbers are quite competitive in the segment and help in keeping running costs low, which is a crucial factor for many buyers in India.
