Ford in a bid to capture the midsize segment has launched the refreshed Ikon which now comes with a very competent diesel option. The engine is the same unit as in the Fiesta with 68 ps of maximum power @ 4000 rp, and 160 nm of torque @ 2000 rpm.
Although down on power compared to the competition, the engine is one of the most refined diesel in the country and has great driveability. The fuel consumption is also very good and it will be even better in the lighter body shell of the Ikon.
The new Ikon also boasts a freshened exterior design with distinct European cues. From the sharper new hood design and striking new headlamps to the all-new front bumper with its larger lower grille and European design cues, the new Ikon presents a fresh face but one that is instantly recognisable.
The new dual-tone beige interiors harmonise beautifully with the new seats and door trim. Rear seat comfort continues to be class-leading in the entry B-car segment.
The new, modern instrument cluster on the diesel variant incorporates new graphics, tachometer, LED needles and LCD odometer display.
