While the Cars.co.za editorial team was on the road, we spotted some camouflaged cars filling up with petrol. What on earth could they be?
Upon closer inspection, it turns out that these two are in fact the next-generation Ford Figo which are here undergoing local testing. There was a hatchback that was about the same size as the outgoing model, with the sedan being about the same dimensions as a Toyota Etios sedan. The sedan looks remarkably like the Ford Figo concept I saw in India in 2014.
Despite heavy camouflage and not a single badge on the car, the main giveaway was the trademark Ford grille which has been seen on the new Focus and Fusion.I managed to get a peek inside and the centre console looks much like the current generation Fiesta, with the sedan boasting an automatic transmission.
