  • The new MPV by Ford could feature the same BS6 compliant 1.5-litre diesel engine as the Marazzo. However, A 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol unit is also said to be under development as well. The MPV could get a manual and automated manual transmission (AMT).
  • Reports claim that the MPV could be offered in 7 or 8-seat variant and will share the same underpinnings with the Marrazzo. It is very likely that Ford could tweak up the suspension a little differently.
