Based on the Figo platform, the Freestyle gets two powertrains - a new 1.2l petrol and 1.5l diesel. The petrol motor produces 94.6hp of peak power and 120Nm of torque while the diesel churns out 98.6hp and 215Nm of torque. Both engines comes mated to a all new 5 speed manual transmission.
The Ford Freestyle gets a wider track than the Figo and has a ground clearance of 190mm and 15-inch tyres with black alloys. This combined with roof rails and skid plates at the front and rear give the vehicle an off-road character.

It gets a bunch of driver aids including active rollover prevention (ARP), traction control, anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), electric power assisted steering and hill launch assist.
