Ford Freestyle,
which was launched in India on 26 April 2018, has reportedly received a Trend+
trim for the petrol engine variant. Reportedly, The new grade has an
ex-showroom price of INR 6.13 lakh**.
The new trim slots between the Trend (INR 6.09
lakhs**) and the Titanium (INR 6.58 lakhs**) options with the petrol engine
variant. Thanks to the close price positioning of the Trend and the Trend+
trim, the company is expected to rejig the trims and the associated feature
packages. If true, Ford could drop the 7-inch FLY infotainment unit and Reverse
Camera from the Trend variant.
The Ford Freestyle is available with two engine
