Ford has revealed the Ka Urban Warrior concept in
Brazil ahead of its stage debut at the 2018 Sao Paulo Auto Show next month. The
concept is essentially a longer Ford Aspire Freestyle with a different name.
The Ford Ka Urban Warrior has a rugged styling that
brings an adventurous edge to an ordinary family saloon. It is differentiated
with silver skid plates on the front and rear, a 3D mesh grille and its
surround both in black, black front fog lamp ornamentation, grey ORVMs, body
cladding on the lower body and wheel arches, four-double-spoke alloy wheels in
black and grey rear applique on the decklid.
The interior is completely in black and has no
special features complementing the aggressive exterior. Powering the
near-production concept is the 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine from the Dragon
engine family that produces 128 PS at 6,500 rpm and 153 Nm of torque
running on petrol and 136 PS at 5,500 rpm and 158 Nm of torque at
4,750 rpm running on ethanol. This flex-fuel engine is paired with a 5-speed
manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Ford hasn’t revealed whether it plans to launch the
Ka Urban Warrior yet, but maybe it will share an update once its tests the
response of the Brazilian public at the Sao Paulo auto show.
