      Following the official unveil of Ka hatchback (sold as Figo hatchback in India), Ford Brazil has now unveiled production version of Ka+ sedan (Ford Figo sedan). The sedan was unveiled online for the auto enthusiasts around the world. Ka+ sedan will be produced at the company’s manufacturing facility located in Camacari, Bahia. August is when Ford will launch Ka+ sedan in Brazil, followed by launch in various other preeminent markets across the globe. In India the sedan will be launched with a different name, ‘Figo Sedan’, a glimpse of which was seen at the 2014 Auto Expo earlier this year.

      We expect Figo sedan to be made available for sale in domestic market by early next year. Figo sedan will replace the conventional Classic sedan that has been present in the country for quite a while. Brazil-spec Ka+ sedan will measure a little more than four meters, however, Indian avatar of sedan on the other hand will be under-four meter making it qualify for the low excise duty levied on sub-four meter cars.
