The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition has been
launched in India. The new top-of-the-line variant of the company’s compact
utility vehicle has an introductory price of INR 7.69 lakh* for the petrol
model whereas the diesel trim will set you back by INR 8.79 lakh*. The new Ford
Freestyle Flair Edition consists of several aesthetic updates which make the
car appear much sportier and tempting. Ford has also incorporated a few changes
on the inside.
On the outside, the Flair Edition of the
Ford Freestyle features a new black and red colour combination which certainly
is a head-turner. The roof of the car has been painted black and to add
contrast, there are red roof rails. We can find a similar usage of the red and
black theme on the outside rearview mirrors.
Ford has also used all-new black alloy
wheels and a black skid plate with red-painted insets on the front bumper. The
doors of the new top-of-the-line variant adorn an especially designed,
prominent Flair badge, housed in all-around black and red graphics. All of
these changes together, impart a more youthful and energetic appearance to the
Ford Freestyle Flair Edition.
The red and black theme continues inside
the cabin of the new Freestyle Flair Edition. There are contrasting red accents
on black door handles. The seats, too, feature the smart Flair badge. The
all-new black and grey upholstery is inviting and adds to a sense of space to
the cabin without taking away the action-oriented character of the car. Features
such as a 7-inch touchscreen-based infotainment system with embedded satellite
navigation, automatic headlamps, automatic wipers, reverse parking camera,
remote central locking, automatic air-conditioner and more, can also be found
in the new Ford Freestyle Flair Edition.
The Ford Freestyle Flair Edition is
available in two engine options - one petrol and one diesel. The small, light,
and fuel-efficient 3-cylinder 1.2L TiVCT petrol motor is capable of producing
the best-in-class 96 PS of maximum power and 120 Nm of peak torque. On the
other hand, Ford’s renowned 1.5L TDCi diesel engine pumps out 100 PS maximum
power and 215 Nm of peak torque. Both the powerplants are mated to a 5-speed
manual transmission. The new Ford Freestyle Flair Edition has three colour
options - White Gold, Diamond White, and Smoke Grey.
