Check if Ford service center is available near you, also is it BS4 which comes with Sync 3? The car has best handling in highway but comes with little stiffer suspension which will affect your family in potholes in slow speed. Boot size is 257 litres . If you are ok with this you can go ahead with this fantastic car
Service cost should be lower than other brands based on bills which other owners posting in Freestyle indian Telegram group. I have completed my first free service only. Waiting period varies sometimes based on the dealership. Check how much vehicles the dealer is selling per month.
Need a help. Can you check with your Freestyle manual and confirm if the bulb specification chart reads 'Headlamp high beam/low beam - H4 - 55/60 watt'? I want to make sure whether officially Ford maintains the same stock headlamps in both Freestyle and Figo.
@@arunkumars223 Thank you! The general opinion from everyone is that the stock headlamps are poor, but based on the video and your feedback, it isn't that bad looks like. Thanks for posting this.
It's average I would say, I have driven Wrv which has Led projector it's also not the best . I felt Freestyle halogen was better than that. I have focused my bulb in SC today, yet to test it not sure if they focused similar to what posted in Freestyle owners group. In the group they say after focusing you can change the bulb to Philips racing vision 55/60.
Another query - At 1:47, I see that the FlyAudio navigation is showing you split screen to take left exit. Should it be enabled by any option or will it show it automatically when you are close to the turn?
Even I was surprised with this feature, I didn't enable it anything specially, it will show up when the roads split up. What's your model and year of make. Mine is live map Feb 2021 make.
Which navigation app you are using? I have 2019 Titanium plus model and use both Android auto and Apple air play but such navigation I havent seen. Also, the dimming of internal Rear view camera I do not see of much use as the lights from vehicles behind does not dim automatically?
My Freestyle doesn't have Android auto, am using inbuilt navigation from Navi maps. Internal auto dimming rear view mirror works really fine, it turns bluish and avoid strain to your eyes when cars behind you throw high beam
Also mine is Titanium plus model, Which comes with auto dimming IRVM, which model is yours and see if there is knob in your mirror for setting dimming manually?
@@arunkumars223 Mine is also titanium plus petrol model and the sales man did say about IRVM but I didn't find it to be useful. Will check again. Thank you.
Nexon is rolling over if you make sudden zig Zag twist in roads at high speed. So I didn't purchase Nexon and went for Freestyle. If you can drive carefully and need a practical car go for Nexon else Freestyle is a fun to drive car.
If you want to travel from point A to Point B and accommodate 5 people along with their luggages. Nexon will be more practical easily accommodate passengers and the luggages.
Hi Bro, this Titanium plus petrol, it doesn't have Android auto or apple car play. Infotainment comes with inbuilt navigation, bluetooth, FM and video through USB will play when the car is in idle.
@@SimplyTravelandMore no bro, it has got few cosmetic changes with flair stickers on the seat covers and outer doors. Leather wrapped steering . No android Auto. No mechanical, no electronic changes as in top model Ecosports
@@arunkumars223 I have a confusion to select a car between Altroz iTurbo and freestyle?. I test driven the freestyle and the driving is awesome which is lacking from ALtroz( Did not drive Altroz iTurbo). Here in Hyderbad no Dealer is providing Altroz iTurbo for test drive. Features wise Altroz is awesome. Tell me about freestyle based on your experience.
@@SimplyTravelandMore Even I had Altroz on my list, only reason why I have taken Freestyle is the Ground clearance, pot holes ,bigger bumps, parking in bad conditions is no issue for me , also it's a best driver's car in this segment. Recently when I parked my car in silver Beach in Cuddalore the mud area close the road is a deep slope so most of the cars were scratching their bottom when bringing the car back to the road from the parking.However Freestyle came out like a boss without any under body scratch. Based on reviews Altroz too is good in handling with nice steering feedback and great brakes.Altroz ITurbo should be a good option if you gonna use your car in good condition roads.
Only thing is I am really surprised with Ford that they have not provided the back lit for the power window buttons. That's really annoying. it is required at night especially for a new car. Ford- dont try to be Suzuki (like Brezza)
Same I also heard before my purchase, however its decent enough. In my Kwid I have installed after market projector fog lamps , we cannot compare this with that. But this is pretty decent. Also in Ford freestyle owners group they suggest to use Philips racing vision H4 for better visibility than this stock bulbs with same specifications. boodmo.com/catalog/part-h4_bulb_12v_60_55w_p43t_38-55519624/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAs5eCBhCBARIsAEhk4r5miEj8KSyfB-M6CmcCC96XqhxQqSFmekpYlfDxDYH3r3-h2lzfUXIaAtx0EALw_wcB
I checked with SC they didn't help to focus the light as the low beam is perfect and they have never adjusted high beam it seems. Need to try again in next service
Is it worth to spend 4.5L on a 2019 petrol manual titanium plus that has 50,000 kms on odo?

Bro, when you plan to buy freestyle, what is waiting period told my Ford Showroom?
I booked on December 2020 and received my car by Feb 2021
@@arunkumars223 So totally 2months waiting period. Right now they are saying 3 months waiting period. How about service cost?

Nexon or freestyle in diesel...which will be your choice?
Nexon is rolling over if you make sudden zig Zag twist in roads at high speed. So I didn't purchase Nexon and went for Freestyle. If you can drive carefully and need a practical car go for Nexon else Freestyle is a fun to drive car.

Keep it up dude....nicely explained...
Make more videos....
Vibration?
Nope, Ford's 3cylinder engine is super smooth
Only thing is I am really surprised with Ford that they have not provided the back lit for the power window buttons. That's really annoying. it is required at night especially for a new car. Ford- dont try to be Suzuki (like Brezza)
Is that a stock light or after market one?
Yes,Stock light . I got my car two weeks back and no modification has been done👍
@@arunkumars223 how come some people said that Freestyle's lights are weak.
Same I also heard before my purchase, however its decent enough. In my Kwid I have installed after market projector fog lamps , we cannot compare this with that. But this is pretty decent. Also in Ford freestyle owners group they suggest to use Philips racing vision H4 for better visibility than this stock bulbs with same specifications.

Need to refocus your headlights, I also feel the beam is quite okay
I checked with SC they didn't help to focus the light as the low beam is perfect and they have never adjusted high beam it seems. Need to try again in next service
