New face of ford ikon

Ford Ikon is one of the most successful cars in the Indian car market. Driven by the success of the Ikon, Ford makes further advancements in the car with significant improvements in terms of powertrain, performance, and aesthetics. The new Ikon range offers two choice of powertrain, advanced DuraTorq TDCi and 1.3L ROCAM engine. With the two new powerful and fuel-efficient engines, the new petrol variant and the diesel variant will definitely rock the Indian car market.
Here is an overview of both the new variants of Ford Ikon
Ford Ikon 1.3 ROCAM
New petrol variant of Ford Ikon exudes style and elegance with its brilliant styling, heart rending aesthetics, responsive engine technology, and luxurious interiors.
It is powered with a responsive 1.3 ROCAM engine that is a spirited performer, delivering 70PS of power and is ideal for urban usage. This new engine uses the Chain-drive SOHC technology that plays a vital role in keeping the system free from rattles.
Elegantly designed car looks more attractive with edgy exteriors, sporty alloy wheels, rear spoiler, body coloured bumper, and a bolder appeal. Talking about the car interiors, the updated petrol version is adorned with plush beige car seats, stylish instrumentation, modified and impressive dashboard, sportier steering wheel, and chrome finished gear knob. In addition, power windows and power steering adds to the joy of driving a Ford Ikon.
Ford Ikon 1.4 DuraTorq TDCi
The new diesel variant is introduced with a powerful diesel engine, 1.4 DuraTorq TDCi that delivers better performance and fuel-efficiency. According to the company, the diesel counterpart is bigger, better, and bolder. Further to that it is artistically designed with bold and distinct European design cues. It also has a new suspension setup, better NVH characteristics, a new low friction steering system and an advanced braking system. Punchy new colours to the exterior plate and attractively designed jeweled rear headlamps make the car even more impressive.
When the talks come to the car interior, new European-designed electronic instrument cluster with a digital odometer, backlit dials and appealing graphics become the centre of attraction. In addition, the dual tone beige interiors, attractive door trims, and more comfortable rear seats add beauty to the car ambience.
Ford has always considered advanced safety measures for its entire range of cars. An advanced safety package including innovative car safety technologies including the high security locks, steering column lock, and child lock is worth shelling out an extra amount for the new diesel Ford Ikon.
