The Ford Ka Trail that was introduced at the 2016
Sao Paulo Auto Show in November was recently spied testing in Sao Paulo,
Brazil, courtesy Motor1. The new derivative of the Ford Ka (Ford Figo/Ford Ka+)
is expected to go on sale in Brazil later this year, with prices starting at
R$ 48,790.
The Ford Ka Trail is a crossover-styled variant of
the Ford Ka. It gets an adventurous look with a higher ground clearance,
darkened 15-inch alloy wheels, integrated roof rails and faux silver skid
plates. The Trail variant features grey stickers with “TRAIL” branding also on
the sides and the trunk lid, as well as black door mirrors and door handles.
The production model skips the black plastic cladding around the wheel arches.
The interior of the Ford Ka Trail is yet to be
revealed in a production-spec avatar. The model showcased in Sao Paulo last
year had sport pedals, leather seats with contrasting stitching in orange and
green and door sills with “TRAIL” logo.
The Ford Ka Trail buyers will likely get to choose
from two engines: 1.0-litre TiVCT and 1.5-litre Sigma, both paired to a 5-speed
manual transmission. The 1.0-litre engine produces 80 hp and 100 Nm of
torque/85 hp and 105 Nm of torque running on petrol/ethanol. The
1.5-litre engine develops 105 hp and 143 Nm of torque/110 hp and 146 Nm of torque running on petrol/ethanol. In Brazil, the 1.5L model is
expected to retail at R$ 52,790.
