Exterior color options include Sparkling Gold, Ruby Red, Absolute Black, Ingot Silver and Oxford White.

The Figo Sports’ black interiors feature red contrast stitching on the seats and on the gear knob.

Compared to the Figo Sports, the Aspire Sports doesn’t get much changes. On the exterior, it features black grille, smoked headlamps, ‘S’ decals on the door and 15-inch silver alloy wheels.

The Aspire Sports’ interior is all-black with a contrast stitching on the seats and on the gear knob.

Both Figo Sports and Aspire Sports are available with 1.2 Ti-VCT petrol and 1.5 litre TDCi diesel engines with output figures remaining the same as the regular models. Both engines are paired to a 5-Speed manual. The 1.5 litre petrol engine which is paired to a dual-clutch automatic transmission is not available with the Sports Edition.

Ford claims to have tuned the suspension of the Sports Editions to match its name.
