JAMMU, July 10: Ford revealed ways to choose a perfect first car for kids.
For Ford, driver and passenger safety has always been a top priority. Ford was amongst the first carmakers in India to make dual airbags standard across its product range. Today, Ford cars are not just built tough but offer several best-in-segment safety features, such as up to seven airbags for all around protection, standard ABS and EBD, traction control and use of other superior material that reduce other safety hazards, a company spokesman said.
Ford offers greater power of choice with both manual and automatic transmission options on most its vehicles. A five-speed manual is sold on Ford Aspire, Figo, Freestyle and EcoSport. Customers who like the convenience of an automatic can opt for segment-best six-speed torque convertor automatic on the Ford Aspire, Figo and EcoSport. The Ford Endeavour in fact offers world’s-first 10-Speed automatic that gives driver precise shifting and greater engine response.
Depending on your preference for body style, hatchback Ford Figo or compact sedan Ford Aspire could make for perfect first cars for young drivers and even smaller families, company spokesman added.
Ford cars are also the only ones to offer 100 per cent connectivity via first-of-its-kind FordPass, a mobile connectivity solution that allows owners to remotely start/stop as well as access their vehicle via a mobile app.
Ford offers surprisingly affordable maintenance cost that is as low as Rs 1,400 for a Figo. Ford cars also offer longer service interval of one-year or 10,000 KM between scheduled maintenance, compared to six-months or 5,000 KM for most other car models, ensuring fewer visits to the service center. What’s even better is that Ford transparently mentions all scheduled maintenance and part costs on its website to ensure complete peace of mind for its customers.
