You're the only channel that didn't complain that it didn't get DRLs and Projector Headlamps!. All other channels keep saying that the car doesn't get, DRLs, Projector Lamps, Request Sensor keyless entry and stuff like that. In my opinion, the manufacturers should include, Traction Control, EBD, ABS, 6 Airbags, ARP as standard across all variants and keep the other electronic comfort and convenience features optional. Things like, android Auto, Automatic Wipers, Push button for start etc don't make a car safer. The priority of Indian consumers is all wrong. A car should first and foremost be SAFE and then Reliable, then they should look for comfort, then convenience features and then the Bling features.... P.S. Sorry for the Rant. But because of stupid Indian customer demand, manufacturers have still not adopted 6 airbags and are instead pushing features like DRLs and Projector lamps instead.
Good video. I am looking for buying a rouged hatchback. The following question will help my buying decision. 1>How good is the petrol engine while driving (with four passengers including driver) in the ghat section with stiff inclination? 2>At what rpm the low end torque comes in? 3>Is the gearbox rev-happy ? 4> What is the kerb weight ? Thank you so much
Rear Side Profile of the free style looks like that of Fiat 5OO. The Roof Rails in black finish would have looked better. No one can match the Paint Job like Ford, beautiful Orange shade. Overall nice Vehicle.
How would the diesel variant behave in bumper to bumper traffic? Will it be as easy to drive as the petrol or will get irritating because of the heavy clutch or turbo lag? Review it maybe..

Great detailed review Sir. How about the build quality of the car sir(other than abs,airbags and other electronic aids)? How does it fares against baleno and swift?
Arun Shenoy Thanks a lot Sir! One more query Sir Is it's structure feels more stable than the other two cars which I mentioned? I'm very much in doubt about it's safety because,one one hand,it has got the best safety features in any car in it's segment.But on the other hand,figo twins score poorly in Latin NCAP. And Indian made Swift and baleno too are no good. So,which of these cars will you recommend on the basis of safety alone?
Last week did a test drive of freestyle..felt the doors & back side body are little light weight when compared with i20 & Nexon..did anyone felt the same ?? Also when the doors are closed the sound doesn't feel it's strong..Any one felt the same ?? Or I'm the only one??
Remap, oh , really, the Freestyle has an NA block, so it can be fitted with after market cold air intake, free flow exhaust and it even has space inside bay to accommodate a small sequential turbo, so U can make well north of 140 HP with Freestyle , so dont speak of mods, talk stock to stock!
Ponygt 662 well you can fit turbo to the NA 1.2 baleno too and make crazy numbers with 4 cylinder smoothness to boot but they aren't made for it! On the other hand, Remap is easy and reversible. The thing is that Freestyle suck balls, it's not in league of 4 meter hatchbacks, It is as long as Honda Jazz with those elongated bumpers but it's cramped inside. They should bring Fiesta hatchback to India, i would totally buy it!
Very good review..and very well concluded in the end.. i feel that figo is late to the cross party... therefore the trump card here is the new fuel efficient engine
I am willing to buy a Ford freestyle, but due to its high prices I shall not be able to do so.Tata Tiago's base model's cost is nearly ₹3.20 k and Ford freestyle's base variant cost is more than ₹5.6 k exclusively road prices , then how can we afford it . ... If we wish for a top models from these two. Impossible ! ! No black money.
Hi. Am confused between Ford FreeStyle and Baleno. In terms of features, FreeStyle is way ahead but Maruti has better service and resale value. Can anyone help?
Shobhon Chatterjee don’t worry about service the car won’t break down in near future and about the resale value just use the car and when you want to sell it just go to any car showroom and they will give you the highest price for your car
1 - Hyundai cars are not for drivers they are only good for passengers.. 2 - Honda WRV has the same 1.2 liter engine as Honda brio.. means it feels underpowered as hell.. 3 - Ford freestyle is the exilent choice here but Indians has long habbit of not liking really good cars and fall for marketing trap of funky cars...
Ford freestyle going they removed sync3, android autoplay like best feature, it's going cutting features no led headlights other brands are increasing, i have book i am realise now i did big mistake, ford india web site mentioned this feature available but realise it's not, customer service response is worst ..
freestyle ride quality at low speed is very stiff compared to swift and also there is a thuding sound whem u hit a pothole.... still all reviewers say the freestyle has a very good ridw quality...how ??? I agree that it is good for highway but at city speeds the ride at bad roads is very bad.
Arun Shenoy so I turned to liva or I20 . ( considering family , rear seat space etc) Which one will u prefer (comfort, maintenance, ride quality, suspension, saftey) Avoid looks..
Well balenos power to weight is 84/0.946= 88.79 bhp per ton Freestyle it is 95/1.044 = 90.99 bhp per ton, so the power to weight is almost the same, thats the bi reason why despite having more HP the Ford isnt moving faster than the Baleno, still I would pick the Freestyle over Balneo any day because its more fun to drive, has more safety features rather than gimmicks like in Baleno and Ground clearance to tackle Indias worst roads
Ponygt 662 Baleno power to weight ratio is 83/0.865= 96 BHP per ton which is better Freestyle's 95/1.026= 92.5 BHP per ton. Your calculations are skewed! So, Baleno being a 4 cylinder makes it even better!
If you want economy and space go for Baleno. Safety, driving and quality are your priority go for VW GT tsi. A little bit of compromise on driving and quality go for Ford. Good value for money.
Shobhon Chatterjee... Totally paisha vasul car he... Shobhen ji... Milege in city petrol 15 and diesel 21... Comfort and hendling are best in this segment...
Arun Shenoy bro I'm also in confusion between baleno petrol and freestyle.. which would be a better car as per you in terms of build, power and safety? Will the 3 cylinder make a big difference in comparison to the 4 cylinder engine?
@Arun Shenoy Hi sir! I am confused between baleno Delta and Freestyle titanium.. I heard the petrol engine of Ford is not that peppy.. Is that true? Also Tyre noise comes inside the cabin! Except these two problems I'm pro Ford and keen on getting the freestyle.. Regarding the interiors I don't mind that much.. I'm a college student.. 10 km per day running and occasional road trips with friends
plastic quality is not good in cabin ..black roof from inside give feels like dark room .... rear space is not good even 5.6 or 5.8 tall person not sit well..legroom in rear is very bad...Thai support is very bad .....Non adjustable headrests... boot space very low. in front ..glob-box is very small.... no DLRs, No projector headlamp, ...I was expecting more from freestyle but it is worst car except safety.... but in car we expect safety as well comfort... I think this not best option to buy...
😂thanks for responding,so u r saying that in normal conditions that same car will give a little more affordable milage? and by the way i am a big fan of ur app, i read news articles regularly on ur app and ur words are perferct in articles and videos.
Fords are driver's cars. & 1 who is an enthusiast will always go for a manual. Automatics r for lazy asses. Only con for me is the low space. But still a lot more worthy than the shitty baleno/swift cousins
ford lekr bad m Apne sir fodna h khali built qulit nhi Dekhi jati Aur bhi bhut khuch Gadi m rhta h ford ka petrol ingn bhut khrab h dijal m Fhir bhi shi h

I share same thoughts bro :)
Quite true
I wish everyone thinks same as you before purchasing the car.
Iska tyre size 185/65 r15 karsakthahei kia
Absolutely true. We should change our mind set up. Ford is reliable motor. I wanted to purchase it.
Safety is more important than silly lights !!! 👍👌👍👌👍👌
Ford free style is excellent. I bought this couple of weeks ago. Excellent ride comfort, smooth engine and good mileage
Jayaraman Sairam how is the power and milege in city and highway
Petrol or diesel
Brother real world mileage City n Highway petrol manual me kitna hai?
Petrol and mileage of 13
@@jsairam city or highwY?
Good video.
I am looking for buying a rouged hatchback. The following question will help my buying decision.
1>How good is the petrol engine while driving (with four passengers including driver) in the ghat section with stiff inclination?
2>At what rpm the low end torque comes in?
3>Is the gearbox rev-happy ?
4> What is the kerb weight ?
Thank you so much
Thanks Arun
Rear Side Profile of the free style looks like that of Fiat 5OO.
The Roof Rails in black finish would have looked better.
No one can match the Paint Job like Ford, beautiful Orange shade.
Overall nice Vehicle.
I liked the face of freestyle. specially the nose like MIG15 Fighter Jet.
Very good point highlighted. Life saving safety features is always important than cosmetic things.
Very professional review. Have u driven the figo sports (D) ? Which one will you pick ?
Arun Shenoy Grear to hear. Two days back , i have bought the figo S diesel. And im glad , that i have made the right choice. !
How would the diesel variant behave in bumper to bumper traffic? Will it be as easy to drive as the petrol or will get irritating because of the heavy clutch or turbo lag? Review it maybe..

Arun Shenoy Thanks a lot Sir!
One more query Sir
Is it's structure feels more stable than the other two cars which I mentioned?
I'm very much in doubt about it's safety because,one one hand,it has got the best safety features in any car in it's segment.But on the other hand,figo twins score poorly in Latin NCAP.
And Indian made Swift and baleno too are no good.
So,which of these cars will you recommend on the basis of safety alone?
Arun Shenoy Thanks a lot Sir!
Your last line matters a lot😅
The best reviews regarding the automobile belongs to Zigwheels👍👍👍👍
How much do you think this car will give milage practically in both city as well as highway?
All that wow,omg,super But we will still buy a Maruthi as we are not adventurous and need to fit into the ordinary crowd....lolz
Good to see one good review from this channel..
Last week did a test drive of freestyle..felt the doors & back side body are little light weight when compared with i20 & Nexon..did anyone felt the same ?? Also when the doors are closed the sound doesn't feel it's strong..Any one felt the same ?? Or I'm the only one??
How funny 😄 u comparin this with suv .. Freestyle s best in segment
I 20 s shit
Which car has the better engine: baleno 1.2 four cylinder petrol mill or the freestyle with the 1.2 three cylinder petrol?
sameer Thelast ...which one will survive an accident?..that car is ur answer
Mayur Nayudu
Freestyle ofcourse....
Freestyle
i think vw polo and ford are going to 3 cylinders due to cost cutting and zyada mileage,is it? is it just about competing suzuki?
oh and you forgot the Boosterjet with 3 cylinders and yet produce just meak 100 HP and feels slow despite being alight car, LOL!!
thanks for replying:)
Ponygt 662 It has a turbo so you can remap it to 125bhp easily. BOOOO!
Remap, oh , really, the Freestyle has an NA block, so it can be fitted with after market cold air intake, free flow exhaust and it even has space inside bay to accommodate a small sequential turbo, so U can make well north of 140 HP with Freestyle , so dont speak of mods, talk stock to stock!
Ponygt 662 well you can fit turbo to the NA 1.2 baleno too and make
crazy numbers with 4 cylinder smoothness to boot but they aren't made
for it! On the other hand, Remap is easy and reversible.
The
thing is that Freestyle suck balls, it's not in league of 4 meter
hatchbacks, It is as long as Honda Jazz with those elongated bumpers but
it's cramped inside.
They should bring Fiesta hatchback to India, i would totally buy it!
Very good review..and very well concluded in the end.. i feel that figo is late to the cross party... therefore the trump card here is the new fuel efficient engine
Well, what kind of mileage was the new Dragon petrol showing, I saw like 7.0 kmpl in MID
Ponygt 662 push ktm rc 390 hard and u cn see real time efficiency as low as 6
Arun Shenoy /
the background music in the early part of video was unnecessary ,off putting .
What about white color? Is it good looking family car?
life expectancy of a petrol 3 cylinder turbocharged engine pls???
Same question have you got any replies to this question ? If so reply
3 cylinder has equal life
Do the rear seats fold? Also, is this as comfy for the family as a Tata nexon?
Arun Shenoy thank you :)
Awesome review and the car setting new hopes for the updated figo.. love your work.. thank u for giving crisp and awesome reviews..
ford diesel engine are much capable as compare to petrol ones...do review diesel one also
I am willing to buy a Ford freestyle, but due to its high prices I shall not be able to do so.Tata Tiago's base model's cost is nearly ₹3.20 k and Ford freestyle's base variant cost is more than ₹5.6 k exclusively road prices , then how can we afford it . ... If we wish for a top models from these two. Impossible ! ! No black money.
All those buying top models have black money?
first viewed and liked because i really liked the video and also liked the car
Ford and Honda are 2 Cos. which focus in Mechanicals rather than features in under 10 Lac segment.
Hi. Am confused between Ford FreeStyle and Baleno. In terms of features, FreeStyle is way ahead but Maruti has better service and resale value. Can anyone help?
Shobhon Chatterjee don’t worry about service the car won’t break down in near future and about the resale value just use the car and when you want to sell it just go to any car showroom and they will give you the highest price for your car
it gets traction control.. no one mentioned about it....
oops.. i missed though.... thanks for the reply :)
Freestyle is superior, fun to ride & safer better option over i10 grand, swift & tiago.
Well.. freestyle is better than i20 elite
Hello
My monthly running 1000 km
Petrol or diesel?
Freestyle vs baleno vs tiago
Which one buy??
Freestyle petrol
Freestyle petrol 3 cyl engine life compared to petrol 4 cyl
Go with Petrol variant. THat help you to save money around 1.5 lahk as that can be used for fueling another 5 years of petrol car.
Looks promising but seriously that chocolate dashboard.... don't know how many people going to like it
Arun Shenoy ya all black would have been better.
Raised hatchback. Atleast they should have tried to change front and rear look just like Honda did with wrv.
Kindly help me with rear seat comfort,i20 or freestyle..is rear seat more spacious than figo or it's Same
I20 is bigger
A
Shall I go for, elite i20, Honda wrv, instead of Freestyle in petrol..pls suggest
1 - Hyundai cars are not for drivers they are only good for passengers..
2 - Honda WRV has the same 1.2 liter engine as Honda brio.. means it feels underpowered as hell..
3 - Ford freestyle is the exilent choice here but Indians has long habbit of not liking really good cars and fall for marketing trap of funky cars...
far better than baleno
Horrendous choice of background music while the presenter is talking..
Ford freestyle going they removed sync3, android autoplay like best feature, it's going cutting features no led headlights other brands are increasing, i have book i am realise now i did big mistake, ford india web site mentioned this feature available but realise it's not, customer service response is worst ..
I am getting discount of 1.25 lacs on Figo diesel trend should I go for it or I should go with freestyle petrol trend please let me know
Go with figo. 4 cylinder engine..
Go with figo
which car has better built quality elite i20 or free style??
Arun Shenoy ford cars always better
I20 gives you nothing for what you pay and that dead funny steering wheel is awkward
@Arun Shenoy funny toy i20 shit...
Swift vs freestyle ????
Freestyle trend or baleno delta. (petrol)
rear space is less which is what i'm looking for mainly for a futuristic car...Honda Jazz is better
freestyle ride quality at low speed is very stiff compared to swift and also there is a thuding sound whem u hit a pothole....
still all reviewers say the freestyle has a very good ridw quality...how ???
I agree that it is good for highway but at city speeds the ride at bad roads is very bad.
please do reply as I was planning for freestyle but had to change my mind to swift...b'coz of the noise and stiff ride at low speed
is it the right decision ???
Swift 😹 deadly tin can....
Well said.. who cares about silly projector lights...
Excellent
Nexon vs freestyle?? petrol..month average 800km
The music has to be subtle.. This music is very over the top.
Is it can be a family car?
Is that headrest will be a great problem?
So is boleno maruthi is better than this, right? (As a family car )
Arun Shenoy , why ford put that fixed headrest on this vehicle. Actually what is the advantage over adjustable. I don't understand that .
Arun Shenoy , in other countries there are 3 adjustable headrest in the rear .
Arun Shenoy so I turned to liva or I20 . ( considering family , rear seat space etc)
Which one will u prefer (comfort, maintenance, ride quality, suspension, saftey)
Avoid looks..
Good to consider buying
Freestyle petrol or diesel which us beeter
Diesel
Frunt Armrest compulsory
सर मारुति नई स्विफ्ट लूं या फोर्ड फ्रीस्टाइल
Is it better than the baleno's 1.2 petrol?
Arun Shenoy alright..but does it feel more premium than the baleno?
Well balenos power to weight is 84/0.946= 88.79 bhp per ton
Freestyle it is 95/1.044 = 90.99 bhp per ton, so the power to weight is almost the same, thats the bi reason why despite having more HP the Ford isnt moving faster than the Baleno, still I would pick the Freestyle over Balneo any day because its more fun to drive, has more safety features rather than gimmicks like in Baleno and Ground clearance to tackle Indias worst roads
Arun Shenoy bro but freestyle is better built and got better handling
Ponygt 662 Baleno power to weight ratio is 83/0.865= 96 BHP per ton
which is better Freestyle's 95/1.026= 92.5 BHP per ton. Your
calculations are skewed!
So, Baleno being a 4 cylinder makes it even better!
If you want economy and space go for Baleno. Safety, driving and quality are your priority go for VW GT tsi. A little bit of compromise on driving and quality go for Ford. Good value for money.
someone needs to turn down that music, barely audible voice.
Looks like Fiat punto. Isn't it?
Initial background music is menacing...
I purchase dis car trend model... Value for money 💵
Hi Tushar ... How is the car ? Mileage and handling. Am confused between baleno and freestyle.
Shobhon Chatterjee... Totally paisha vasul car he... Shobhen ji... Milege in city petrol 15 and diesel 21... Comfort and hendling are best in this segment...
Thanks a lot :)
Bhai me balino ki booking cancel karke freestyle leraha hu koi suggest kare mujhe
Arun Shenoy bro I'm also in confusion between baleno petrol and freestyle.. which would be a better car as per you in terms of build, power and safety? Will the 3 cylinder make a big difference in comparison to the 4 cylinder engine?
Arun Shenoy thank you so much bro for your reply..
which one is better dzire or freestyle..
@Arun Shenoy Hi sir! I am confused between baleno Delta and Freestyle titanium.. I heard the petrol engine of Ford is not that peppy.. Is that true? Also Tyre noise comes inside the cabin! Except these two problems I'm pro Ford and keen on getting the freestyle..
Regarding the interiors I don't mind that much..
I'm a college student.. 10 km per day running and occasional road trips with friends
@Arun Shenoy thanks!
As usual not a comprehensive review. Fed up
plastic quality is not good in cabin ..black roof from inside give feels like dark room .... rear space is not good even 5.6 or 5.8 tall person not sit well..legroom in rear is very bad...Thai support is very bad .....Non adjustable headrests... boot space very low. in front ..glob-box is very small.... no DLRs, No projector headlamp, ...I was expecting more from freestyle but it is worst car except safety.... but in car we expect safety as well comfort... I think this not best option to buy...
Safety , low maintenance and a great value for money .that's freestyle for you .
Why can't u die with maruti or Hyundai 😹
mid says 7kmpl?
😂thanks for responding,so u r saying that in normal conditions that same car will give a little more affordable milage? and by the way i am a big fan of ur app, i read news articles regularly on ur app and ur words are perferct in articles and videos.
Leather = Dead Cow's Skin.
Go with diesel
Where is krithikaya
Arun Shenoy k cool
everything is ok..... except brown dashboard.....thats looking very dull
Even I thought the same .. but actually when you look the vehicle directly you won't feel that ..
It does look bad on video, but irl it looks good.
Fords are driver's cars.
& 1 who is an enthusiast will always go for a manual.
Automatics r for lazy asses.
Only con for me is the low space.
But still a lot more worthy than the shitty baleno/swift cousins
👌👌👌
Video quality faded 👎

Ita a raised hatchback. Don't throw in words like SUV flavour. Shit are you guys out there to bash your own automotive journalist respect or what
Arun Shenoy rest of the video is balanced and honest that's why I stick with Zigwheels. You guys call a spade a spade
Trying hard to copy karthikeya 😂
Paid review.......
Ugly interior and bad dashboard color selection 😡 ,Definitely a deal breaker
Suresh Reddy bhai well look for fun to drive safety build quality all this will be deal maker's
Bad priorities
Worst car
