While Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP scores for the Ford Figo have yet to be released, we have useful information from Latin NCAP's review. Let’s examine the Ford Figo NCAP rating to help you make an informed decision.
Ford Figo: A brief history

Conclusion
While we await the Ford Figo safety rating from the Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, the Latin NCAP results provide valuable insights. Safety scores can influence your car insurance when getting insurance for your Ford Figo. While third party car insurance covers losses to others and is legally mandatory, it doesn't provide comprehensive protection. Though more expensive, comprehensive car insurance gives wider security, including covering your own vehicle against crashes, theft and natural disasters.
