The mStallion range of engines were first showcased earlier this year during the Auto Expo and made their formal debut in August 2020 when the Thar was launched with the 2.0 mStallion T-GDI engine.

It is also reported that the next-generation EcoSport will also be powered by the same engine. If it happens, the 1.2 T-GDI unit will be replacing the older EcoBoost unit and will make the next-gen EcoSport stronger by 7 BHP and 60 Nm of torque.
When launched, the Ford Figo with the 1.2 mStallion engine will become the most powerful hatchback in the country. It is also expected that the new Ford Figo will come with both automatic and manual gearbox options with the automatic option being available at least in the top trims.
