Ford India launches dual-fuel variant of Ikon Flair

New Delhi, Nov 28: With consumers in the Indian automobile market shifting to the more fuel-efficient option, Ford India today announced the launch of 'Ikon Flair CNG', a dual-fuel variant that can run both on petrol and Compressed Natural Gas.

''Globally, Ford Motor Company continues to conduct extensive research and development work with alternate fuels,'' Ford India President and Managing Director Arvind Mathew said.

Priced at Rs 5.25 lakh (ex showroom New Delhi), the Flair Ikon CNG will be initially available in Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Baroda and Ahmedabad.

It has a fuel selection switch on the dashboard to enable the customer an easy switch between the two options.

Ford India's other models include the Fusion, Endeavour, Mondeo and the Fiesta.

Offering cleaner emissions and immense savings on running costs, the Ikon Flair CNG will result in lower cost of ownership, making it an attractive product for the value discerning customer, Mr Mathew added.
