The Ford Figo 1.5 with its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated 3-cylinder petrol engine is noted for being relatively fuel efficient within its segment. Ford claims an average fuel consumption of 6.5 L/100 km under normal driving conditions[1][5]. During independent evaluations and reviews, real-world figures have typically ranged from the low 7s (liters per 100 km) when driving with mixed city and highway usage[1]. This value corresponds to approximately 15.4 km/L under ideal conditions.
The 1.5-litre TiVCT petrol engine, paired most commonly with a 6-speed automatic transmission, offers smooth gear changes and efficient city performance, aided by its relatively light weight and responsive calibration[1][4]. The on-board trip computer and gear shift indicator further help drivers optimize their fuel economy during everyday use[4].
The Figo’s fuel tank capacity is 42 liters, allowing for a practical range of over 600 kilometers per tank under standard conditions[1]. Factors such as aggressive driving, excessive idling, and heavy stop-start traffic can reduce real-world economy, but most owners and testers report the car to be acceptably frugal within its class.
