VERDICT

An improved petrol engine along with addition of features mean that the Aspire is now better equipped to take on the likes of the Maruti Dzire, Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent and the VW Ameo. The new Aspire is on sale now with prices starting at Rs 5.55 lakh. The drop in price, along with the changes Ford has made to the Aspire make it a better proposition, no doubt. If you’re hunting for a compact sedan then we would definitely urge you to take a long hard look at the updated Ford Aspire.
