New Ford Aspire facelift – Variants Explained!

The Ford Aspire has been given a mid life update for 2018. As part of this facelift, the car has received a few cosmetic tweaks, some feature additions, a new petrol engine option and a new automatic transmission.

The new Ford Aspire is available in 5 variants. There are three engine options on offer – two petrol and a diesel. The main petrol engine is a new 1.2-litre three cylinder unit. Diesel variants are powered by the same 1.5-litre turbocharged unit that was available with the pre-facelift version. Both these engines get a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. Meanwhile, the Aspire automatic gets a 1.5-litre petrol engine mated to a 6-speed torque converter. Sadly, Ford has decided to discontinue the DCT (dual clutch transmission) option that was available with the pre-facelift model.
