Bye-Bye-Ikon


Ford India decided to stop the manufacturing of its one time popular model ikon, due to poor performance in the markets recently. Ikon was introduced in 1999 November, which had become a sensational model competing with maruti esteem and Hyundai accent. It was offered in petrol and diesel variants, the diesel variant was reintroduced in 2005 with 1.4 litter TDCI engine used in fiesta. Company explained the reasons behind the decision is to make arrangements in the plant for manufacturing new models also the withdrawal of the car from 13 major cities under the Euro emission law in last april was also a major factor.
