It looks like the US auto Major Ford is planning for a slew of launches in India. While the arrival of the new EcoSport and Figo hatchback are confirmed through numerous spy shots and leaks, the latest is the spy image of a new prototype, which is believed to be the Figo Cross.

The image shared by Autocar India shows a Figo-like prototype with black cladding running across its body, indicating a crossover based on the hatchback. The test mule spotted was seen in fully camouflaged form, thus not revealing anything on the new model. With the Figo Cross, Ford could be eying the crossover segment, which is now being led by Hyundai i20 Active, Honda WR-V and Toyota Etios Cross. The new crossover of Ford could also get the new Dragon petrol engines like the new EcoSport and Figo twins.
