    Being a owner of Figo 2019 and Ecosports 2015 both diesel. I can vouch for the service quality they have kept after the operation was shut down. The bills are the same the consumables cost are the same. Affordable and quality are mainly the reason I wouldn't sell both the cars unless I need to do it. If Ford come back I don't think the there will resistance from the existing customer but winning over new customer will be a challenge. And at the premium segment fan boys won't bring sales. Waiting to see their strategy and market reaction.

I know ppl coming or calling service managers and enquiring abt them... one even came with cash in hand to book Endeavor in advance. Ecosport segment (10-20 lacs) can't be ignored...at the end of the day u need numbers. They r lots of hard core fans waiting eagerly.

    Being owner of figo n ecosport. I really hope Ford takes the manufacturing or atleast assembly route. India is a very price sensitive market no matter how good the car be. Their brand value has to correlate. Example Hyundai Santa fe, Gm forester, vw Passat n Tourage. Honda Crv n many more.
    Eager for Ford's return

  • @urbanraahi4878
    @urbanraahi4878 Před 4 měsíci +4

    If they don’t want to loose to Fortuner again, they need to make sure they get the pricing right. In India if your pricing is off you won’t succeed. Take Jimny as an example. Their pricing was just way off. But if they are able to match the fortuner price or even better undercut a little bit, they will have a good run with endeavour. Toyota has had a long run of being complacent with and taken for granted Indian consumers. It needs to end.

So they might not be just targetting the premium segment...they might bring back some key Vehicles below the 20 lakh rupees mark too...i hope FORD comes back with a bang.!

  • @reeshavhati
    @reeshavhati Před 4 měsíci

    My family owns a 2016 Figo and it runs like butter. I think Ford’s lineup should be Puma to compete against the likes of Fronx, Venue. The Kuga or something of that sort to put up against the Creta and Elevate. The Endeavour which will be the flagship lineup for India and the Ranger. Mustang should also make a comeback and maybe through CBU unit. My personal pick would be the Focus ST. It’s the perfect car.

    Yes definitely want them to come back and without being practical, the cars I want them to bring here are mustang, endeavour, bronco and raptor 150 but seeing the Indian market for pickups it's a hard sell. So the 3 cars from a practical and feasible point of view are endeavour, puma and next gen ecosport. I think puma will become a relatively popular product because of its hatchback size and love of Indians towards that category is solid

    Ford should prioritize tapping into the mass market, especially in regions like India where purchasing power isn't as robust. While Ford boasts a significant fanbase, their current lineup overseas, including models like Puma, Kuga, and Focus, competes directly with popular choices like the Hyundai Creta and Tucson. By introducing their ST lineups, Ford could effectively challenge offerings like the Hyundai N line and Volkswagen GT line, appealing to enthusiasts and expanding their market share in the process.

    If Ford is to come back to india, it would make absolute sense to take the CKD route, and launch the Endeavour and Ranger in India.... Other than that, as halo models they should launch the Mustang and Mustang Mach E...
    Furthermore, there could be two more products that make sense in India, the Maverick Pick-up and the BRONCO SPORT... The Bronco sport will be a hit, especially with rumours of an affordable wrangler and the testing of Thar 5 door going around...

    Now that the Indian govt has reduced the import duty on EVs from 100% to 15%, Ford should definitely plan an EV manufacturing unit, and in that way they can bring in the Mustang Mach E to India at a price even lesser than 50 lacs. And at this price Mach E will alone change Ford's fortunes in India.

    My experiance with Ford have not been great and there are many Ford horor stories available to read on net.
    I still have that lemon Ford Figo car. Ford never cared about reliability and nothing did for those unfortunate lemon car owners.
    Though I love to drive Ford cars and still missing those excellent cars.
    Re entry of Ford will not be easy. All west and American car companies are facing stiff competetion from Indian, Korean and Chinees brands and loosing their grounds to rivals. World is shifting to EVs where chinese brands are wiping out Texla. I think Ford can not afford to ignore the huge car market of India when Europe and US economic condition is detoriating and they have no or insignificant presence in China and east.
