Also, the updated Ford Aspire will offer improved fuel efficiency compared to the current model.
Interestingly, there is a CNG variant of the Ford Aspire is likely to make its way in the Indian market. Considering the growing demands from the fleet operators across the country, the automaker is aiming to grab a solid chunk in that category with the 2018 Ford Aspire facelift. A CNG variant will always lure the fleet operators over a petrol or diesel powered model thanks to the lower cost of fuel, specially in cities. This clever move could certainly help the brand to improve its sales figure in coming days. However, launch of the CNG variant of Ford Aspire is yet to be confirmed by the automaker.
