      About Ford Aspire

      Summary

      Ford launched the latest iteration of the Aspire in 2019. The American compact sedan received a facelift after being around in the country unchanged since its introduction in 2015. The mid-life refreshment comes with a new petrol heart and comprehensively updated interiors. The compact sedan has been launched in 11 trim levels with three powertrain and one transmission option. 

      Exterior

      The updated Aspire gets a new fascia which is highlighted by the imposing honeycomb pattern chrome grille, C-shaped fog lamp pods and revised bumpers. It rides on a stylish set of multi-spoke alloy wheels. At the back, there are revised tail lamps and a new chrome slat at the back. The elements around the fog lamps and headlamps are the same as seen in the Freestyle, albeit in chrome. These visual updates make it look similar to the larger Figo sedan on sale in South Africa or the Freestyle sold here in India.

      Interior

      The most prominent changes in the facelift are on the inside. The Freestyle inspiration continues but instead of the brown finished dash, the Aspire gets a dual-tone dashboard with a beige-black finish. The most important update for the Aspire is the floating touchscreen with SYNC3 infotainment system in addition to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We have reviewed this system in our touchscreen system comparison and you can read all about it over here. The instrument cluster is scrounged unchanged from the CUV and the beige upholstery lends the Aspire a premium feel.

      Powertrain

      Under the hood, there is the 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Dragon Series petrol engine which is the same 95bhp mill that debuted on the Freestyle. It comes mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The diesel model continues to be powered by the tried-and-tested 100bhp/215Nm 1.5-litre diesel engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

      Aspire Expert Review

      Opening

      This is the latest iteration of the Ford Aspire. A much-needed refreshment has been brought in three years after this sub-compact sedan was first launched in India. The carmaker has made a host of cosmetic changes like a revised face, tweaked rear and an updated cabin. This comes along with mechanical upgrades in the form of a five-speed gearbox and two new petrol engines. The latter are from Ford's new Dragon engine family that was already seen on the new Ford Freestyle and the EcoSport. So, how effective are these changes? We find out.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review

      Appearance Exterior

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review

      The overall shape and design remain quite similar to the older model, but the face looks very new now. There are also many things that helps distinguish between the Aspire's old and new model. For starters, the old Aston Martin-ish grille with chrome slats is now replaced by a subtle, better-looking honeycomb pattern. The re-profiled bumper gets a black housing incorporating the air dam and circular fog lamps with C-shaped chrome surrounding them. Sadly, the car still misses out on DRLs, a pair of which could have added to the appeal. Then, the silhouette is the same albeit with new ORVMs and classy multi-spoke alloy wheels. Besides, a reworked rear bumper, revised tail lamps and a thick chrome slat enhance the look at the back.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review

      Appearance Interior

      The Aspire's interior is not entirely new, so it remains to be a well laid out, ergonomic, spacious and comfortable cabin. But Ford has made some significant changes to help distinguish it from its predecessor. A similar beige and black dual-tone theme is carried forward, but the seats have now been restyled to offer better support. And they are comfortable too even if they are not adorned in leather. The dashboard has also been revamped with a new 6.5-inch floating touchscreen system. This unit is similar to the one seen on the new EcoSport and Freestyle. Even so, the Aspire still misses out on a rear air-con vent which is on offer on competitors like the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Hyundai Xcent.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review

      There are neither seat back pockets nor bottle holders on the rear doors. On the other hand, the 6.5-inch touchscreen unit provides quick access to Ford's new in-car connectivity SYNC 3 system. This is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and is very easy to use. Moreover, worth a mention are the upmarket features like an engine start-stop button, auto climate control and illuminated USB sockets.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review


      On the safety front, dual airbags and ABS now come as standard across the Aspire range. But what gives the Aspire an edge over its rivals is that it's equipped with electronic stability program (ESP) on the top variants and the new SYNC 3. This one, like before, has the Emergency Assistance feature to notify the nearest hospital in case of a collision.

      Performance Drive

      The 1.2-litre Ti-VCT petrol engine from the predecessor is now replaced by an all-new, Dragon petrol motor that debuted on the Freestyle. This three-cylinder, 1.2-litre Dragon petrol mill produces class-leading 95bhp of power and 120Nm of torque. There's also a new five-speed manual gearbox that is standard even with the diesel engine, which we will talk about in a while. Let’s first get to the petrol. We tapped the engine start button and the powerplant started without much of a noise. The idling is silent and the refinement is good enough for a three-cylinder mill.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review


      Start moving, say from standstill and you realise the low-rpm throttle response is ordinary. The surge only starts to come above 2,000rpm otherwise below that, the punch (torque) feels weak. However, as you speed up, you realise it has enough pep to push the car. Above 4,000rpm is where I’d like it to be. Use the gearbox judiciously and the engine performance feels not just acceptable but on par with segment standards. Of course, as you accelerate to higher rpms the three-cylinder thrum becomes audible. The tyre noise also seeps into the cabin when doing three-digits speeds.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review


      The diesel, on the other hand, gets the tried-and-tested 99bhp 1.5-litre four-cylinder TDCI motor. The mild clatter is still there but with 215Nm of torque; this one allows the car to putter around the city in third or fourth gear at 30-40kmph, without the engine lugging at all. Overtaking slow moving vehicles doesn't make you feel nervous and you can take on the highways easily thanks to its good mid-range with torquey nature. The performance also starts getting stronger as the rpm needle climbs, while cruising at triple-digit speeds remains to be a breeze.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review


      Then, the highlight is the new five-speed gearbox with short throws and well-defined gates. There's no notchy feel in the shifts and that makes it a slick transmission to use. This, along with a light clutch with short travel, makes it great for the city. Furthermore, the steering at parking speed is light and weighs up nicely with increase in speeds. It is direct and quick to react making things easier within the city. The compact sedan continues to feel very chuckable and even around tight corners handling feels safe. There's minimal body roll too.

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review


      Another pleasing aspect is the Aspire's flat ride with a suspension tuned for compliance. Ford has managed to tune the hardware very well for Indian driving conditions. Broken tarmac and undulations are well absorbed without any bumps even for rear passengers. We took some sharp bumps and the suspension managed to cushion these without making much noise. Again, straight-line stability is on par for the course without giving any light or wafty feeling even above 150kmph. Additionally, the brake pedal doesn't feel mushy to use and drops the anchor fast with a quick grab action.

      Conclusion

      2018 Ford Aspire First Drive Review

      Ford has played their cards well with the Aspire facelift. Its looks are a differentiating point, cabin is well designed and reasonably spacious with some new equipment. However, it still misses out on some basic features like DRLs, projector headlamps and rear AC vents, which have now become a norm in this compact sedan segment. Nonetheless, the Aspire nails the spot with class-leading safety equipment, most powerful engines in segment, excellent driving experience and prices lesser than its outgoing model. It's also competitively priced between Rs 5.5 lakhs to Rs 8.14 lakhs (ex-showroom) undercutting the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and the Honda Amaze by good margins. An Aspire to aspire for then then?

        Whats Good

        Looks , Power, Mileage, Features, Safety, Servicing & Complete peace of mind.

        What Can Improve

        A little more kerb weight which was present in earlier Figo and Fiesta, gives lots of confidence from inside.

        Horrible spare parts management and customer relation team

        11/25/2015 13:36:20 | Supratip Ghosh

        Whats Good

        Look, comfort, style

        What Can Improve

        Mileage, customer relation and spare parts management

        I got an accident on 1st of November evening and immediately took it to workshop ( Kaikan Ford) on very next day morning. From the workshop they said as the car is new so they don't have all the spare parts so it will take 3 days to get them. When till 12th the spare parts didn't arrive I had lodged a complaint to Ford India. Ford India's Customer relation person Husna Banu took my case and promised to update me from time to time which she never did. Just when dealership on 17th afternoon received the spare parts then she called to say it will reach in the evening where as matter of fact the parts actually reached workshop. Then on 18th I received the car and the workshop guys honestly told me that one part is still missing and they have fixed the accident affected part till the time the part arrive so that I can use the car till that time. After that Husna Banu called next day that if I am happy with the dealer's repair work, without knowing that still they are waiting for a part from Ford India. When I told her that she promised to look after the matter and again vanished. Till date no reply for my mails not even a call to update me when the part will arrive, if I call they say trying their best without giving a concrete answer. It's 25 days since I took the car to Ford workshop. Please think twice before purchasing a Ford Product. Very sorry to say that too much incompetent people they have employed.

        Aspirations started..

        11/16/2015 14:47:28 | Kaustubh Prabhakar Gogate

        Whats Good

        The vehicle.

        What Can Improve

        Ford's loyalty benefit policy. Proper clarifications on design and strong connection in design and accessories departments.

        Ford just relies on the paper they have provided called REFERRAL.. when you (FORD) were not providing this thing, were your customers weren't loyal enough to suggest ford to anybody in their circle? My brother did purchase figo a year before when there was no such paper called REFERRAL.. though he suggested and triggered me to ford, Is his loyalty in vain just because of that paper thing? Be good.. Make Customer relations healthy. Also in ambiente, they have given single din music system slot. Ford does not make any single din music system as an accessory. If you have to install ford's system, you have to pay 25K for system which is not having CD/DVD even.. In this amount you can purchase better music system than which is being sold as authorised accessory. Every person at ford told me that it has no connectors provided inside.. A BIG LIE. There are connectors provided separately for music system. Don't be afraid if you are going for the base variant. These things were not taken cared by the company, so I am mentioning it here. For All the newcomers to Ford family.. PLEASE LISTEN.. Dear FORD! it is for your improvement!! ( If you are listening..)
