Ford’s Aspire Blu Edition is priced at a premium of Rs 25,000 over the regular Titanium variant. Considering the changes applied inside and out, it’s almost worth it to make the sub-4 metre sedan look distinct from the other variants.

Ford Figo, the hatchback counterpart of the Aspire, is also available with similar cosmetics as the Blu Edition. However, the Figo Titanium Blu variant has not been stated to be a limited-run model by Ford. In the case of the Figo, the Blu is the top variant that is on offer in the country.
