The Ford Freestyle also debuts a brand new petrol engine. The 1.2-litre unit is from the same Dragon family that also debuted a 1.5-litre version on the new Ecosport not too long ago. The engine is a 3-cylinder unit making 95 bhp and 120 Nm of torque. The petrol engine gives 19 kmpl according to ARAI test results. The petrol engine is also mated to a new 5-speed manual gearbox and although we were expecting an automatic to make it to the line-up, Ford has not launched an automatic in India. The Ford Freestyle also gets a diesel variant that uses the same 1.5-litre unit that is available on the Ford EcoSport. That engine makes 99 bhp and 215 Nm of torque. The Ford Freestyle diesel fuel efficiency is rated at 24.4 kmpl.
