Maruti, Tata Motors, Chevrolet and Hyundai would soon have a reason to worry about. In the recent future, a new hatchback would be out of the Ford stable -- Ford Figo.

Riding on the success of Ford Ikon and Ford Fiesta, in the mid-size sedan segment, Ford plans to roll out the new car by March.

Expected to be priced between Rs 3,50,000 and Rs 500,000, Ford wants to keep Figo cheap to buy and cheap to run. . . .
