What engine does a Ford Figo have?

The Ford Figo has typically been offered with two main engine families: a small petrol engine around 1.2 liters and a diesel engine around 1.5 liters. The exact engine depends on the model year and the market where the car was sold.


To provide a clearer picture, this article outlines the common engine options historically available for the Figo across its generations, with notes on regional variations and how to verify the exact powertrain for a specific car.


Core engine options


Before listing the typical engine families, note that the Figo’s powerplants varied by generation and region. The following options reflect the main configurations seen over the model’s run:



  • Petrol engines: A small 1.2-liter petrol engine (three-cylinder family) used across multiple generations, with outputs tuned for efficiency and city driving depending on year and market.

  • Diesel engines: A mid-sized 1.4–1.5-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel engine family used in several regional variants of the Figo, offering stronger low-end torque for longer trips.


Engine displacement and power figures vary by year, region, and trim level, so it’s important to check the specific badge or VIN for precise specifications.


Regional notes


India and neighboring markets


In India and nearby regions, the Figo commonly offered a 1.2-liter petrol option and a 1.4–1.5-liter diesel option during various generations. Petrol variants emphasize efficiency for urban use, while the diesel variants provide more torque for longer drives and heavier loads.


Other regions


In markets outside South Asia where the Figo was marketed, the same two-family approach (petrol around 1.2 liters and diesel around 1.5 liters) generally applied, though exact displacements and tuning could differ to meet local emission standards and regulations. Always confirm the engine from the specific model year and market.

The Ford Figo’s engine lineup has centered on a small petrol option and a mid-size diesel option, with variations by generation and market. If you know the year and country of your Figo, you can determine the precise engine and its power output for that car.
