Ford Ikon specs: which version to buy
Two generations overlap from 2007 through 2011. Generation 1 (1999-01-01 to 2011-12-31) is a Sedan with six versions. Generation 2 (2007-01-01 to 2015-12-31) is a Sedan with one version. Every version is FWD, front transverse, four Inline cylinders, boost No.
Two generations overlap from 2007 through 2011. Generation 1 (1999-01-01 to 2011-12-31) is a Sedan with six versions. Generation 2 (2007-01-01 to 2015-12-31) is a Sedan with one version. Every version is FWD, front transverse, four Inline cylinders, boost No. Fuel consumption (city, highway, mixed), tank, CO2, eco class, wheel sizes, rear suspension, and engine oil capacity are not measured on any version — those searches have no number in this catalogue.
Ford Ikon all generations: what actually changed
Generation 1 is the only place with a diesel and the only place with Automatic. Generation 2 does not add displacement, power, or gears: its single 1.6 MT repeats 92 hp (68 kW) at 5500 rpm, 130 Nm at 3500 rpm, 1598 cm³, 11.5 s to 100 km/h, 170 km/h, kerb 970 kg, clearance 140 mm. The measured hardware change on that 1.6 petrol is the front brake: generation 1 1.6 MT lists Disc; generation 2 1.6 MT lists Ventilated disc. Rear brakes on both 1.6 petrols and on the diesel are Drum. If the question is “what did generation 2 buy,” the measured answer is ventilated front discs on the same 92 hp petrol, not a new engine.
Ford Ikon engine: table of versions (hp, Nm, cc, fuel, layout, boost, gearbox, drive)
| Version | Generation | hp (kW) | Nm | cm³ | Fuel | Cylinders / layout | Valves/cyl | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 MT | 2 (2007–2015) | 92 (68) @ 5500 | 130 @ 3500 | 1598 | Gasoline 95 | 4 Inline | 2 | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
| 1.3 MT 68 hp | 1 (1999–2011) | 68 (51) | not measured | 1300 | Gasoline 92 | 4 Inline | not measured | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
| 1.3 AT 68 hp | 1 | 68 (51) | not measured | 1300 | Gasoline 92 | 4 Inline | not measured | No | Automatic 4 | FWD |
| 1.3 MT 70 hp | 1 | 70 (52) | not measured | 1300 | Gasoline 92 | 4 Inline | not measured | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
| 1.3 AT 70 hp | 1 | 70 (52) | not measured | 1300 | Gasoline 92 | 4 Inline | not measured | No | Automatic 4 | FWD |
| 1.6 MT | 1 (1999–2011) | 92 (68) @ 5500 | 130 @ 3500 | 1598 | Gasoline 95 | 4 Inline | 2 | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
| 1.8 MT | 1 | 58 (43) @ 4800 | 108 @ 2200 | 1753 | Diesel | 4 Inline | 2 | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
Two pairs share names. 1.3 MT exists at 68 hp (51 kW) and at 70 hp (52 kW). 1.3 AT exists at 68 hp (51 kW) and at 70 hp (52 kW). The 2 hp / 1 kW gap is the only measured difference inside each pair. Torque, rpm, 0–100, top speed, weight, and clearance on all four 1.3 versions are not measured.
Ford Ikon horsepower and engine cc: power per litre
- 1.6 MT (both generations): 92 / 1.598 ≈ 57.6 hp per litre.
- 1.3 MT / 1.3 AT 70 hp: 70 / 1.300 ≈ 53.8 hp per litre.
- 1.3 MT / 1.3 AT 68 hp: 68 / 1.300 ≈ 52.3 hp per litre.
- 1.8 MT diesel: 58 / 1.753 ≈ 33.1 hp per litre.
The 1.6 petrol is the densest engine in the line. The 1.8 diesel is the largest displacement (1753 vs 1598 vs 1300) and the weakest in horsepower (58 vs 92 vs 70/68). Peak torque on the diesel arrives at 2200 rpm (108 Nm); on 1.6 MT at 3500 rpm (130 Nm). That is +22 Nm and +1300 rpm for the petrol peak. Diesel peak power is at 4800 rpm; 1.6 petrol peak power at 5500 rpm.
Ford Ikon 1.6 vs 1.3 vs 1.8: arithmetic on the buy
1.6 MT versus the 1.3 petrols (generation 1). Displacement +298 cm³. Power +22 hp versus the 70 hp 1.3 MT / 1.3 AT, or +24 hp versus the 68 hp pair. Fuel grade steps from 92 to 95. Injection on 1.6 MT is Distributed injection (multi-point); on all 1.3 versions the feed system is not measured. 0–100 and top speed on every 1.3 are not measured, so you cannot claim a 1.3 is slower in seconds — only that it has 22–24 fewer horsepower. Gearbox: 1.3 MT is Manual 5 like 1.6 MT; 1.3 AT is Automatic 4 — the only Automatic in the model. If the buy criterion is “I will not row a five-speed,” the only measured answer is 1.3 AT at 68 hp or 1.3 AT at 70 hp. Generation 2 has no Automatic.
1.6 MT versus 1.8 MT diesel (generation 1). Power +34 hp (92 − 58). Torque +22 Nm (130 − 108). 0–100: 11.5 s versus 15 s — 3.5 s faster on the petrol. Top speed: 170 versus 155 km/h — +15 km/h. Kerb weight: 970 kg versus 1080 kg — the diesel is 110 kg heavier. Weight per horsepower: 970 / 92 ≈ 10.5 kg/hp on 1.6 MT; 1080 / 58 ≈ 18.6 kg/hp on 1.8 MT. The diesel carries about 8.1 kg more per horsepower. Ground clearance is the same 140 mm on 1.6 MT (both generations) and 1.8 MT. Front brakes on generation 1 1.6 MT and 1.8 MT are both Disc; generation 2 1.6 MT is Ventilated disc. Rear: Drum on both 1.6 petrols that list it and on 1.8 MT.
68 hp versus 70 hp 1.3. Same 1300 cm³, same Gasoline 92, same 4 Inline, same FWD, same Manual 5 or Automatic 4 depending on MT/AT. The 70 hp versions add 2 hp and 1 kW. That is about +2.9% power. No other measured field differs. If a listing says 1.3 MT without horsepower, it is two cars; ask 68 or 70.
Generation 1 1.6 MT versus generation 2 1.6 MT. Same 92 hp, 68 kW, 5500 rpm, 130 Nm, 3500 rpm, 1598 cm³, Gasoline 95, 4 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, Front transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), Manual 5, FWD, 11.5 s, 170 km/h, 970 kg, 140 mm, Independent spring front, Drum rear. Measured difference: front brakes Disc (gen 1) versus Ventilated disc (gen 2). Production window: gen 1 1.6 ends 2011-12-31; gen 2 1.6 runs 2007-01-01 to 2015-12-31. After 2011 the only remaining new-production 1.6 is generation 2.
Ford Ikon mileage, petrol mileage, diesel mileage
City, highway, and mixed consumption are not measured on 1.6 MT (either generation), on all four 1.3 versions, and on 1.8 MT. This catalogue cannot rank petrol versus diesel mpg. Fuel type is measured: 95 on both 1.6 MT, 92 on all 1.3 versions, Diesel on 1.8 MT. Tank volume is not measured on every version.
Ford Ikon weight in kg, dimensions, ground clearance
Kerb: 1.6 MT (gen 1 and gen 2) 970 kg; 1.8 MT 1080 kg; all four 1.3 versions not measured. Gross weight: not measured on all seven. Clearance: 140 mm on both 1.6 MT and on 1.8 MT; not measured on 1.3. Wheels: not measured. Tank: not measured. Dimensions in feet: not measured. Engine oil capacity: not measured. Engine number location: not measured.
Ford Ikon vs Fiesta
No Fiesta figures are in this dataset. A comparison of Ikon to Fiesta is not measured here.
Why Ford Ikon discontinued, problems, reliability, maintenance cost
End dates are in the data: generation 1 stops 2011-12-31, generation 2 stops 2015-12-31. Reasons, common problems, solutions, reliability scores, service-manual content, and maintenance cost are not measured. Price and “for sale” listings are not in this catalogue.
Which Ford Ikon version to choose
Need Automatic. Only 1.3 AT 68 hp (51 kW) or 1.3 AT 70 hp (52 kW), generation 1, Automatic 4, Gasoline 92, 1300 cm³. The 70 hp car is +2 hp. 0–100, top speed, weight, clearance: not measured.
Need the most measured performance. 1.6 MT in generation 1 or 2: 92 hp, 130 Nm, 11.5 s, 170 km/h, 970 kg, 10.5 kg/hp. Prefer generation 2 if the criterion is Ventilated disc fronts and production through 2015; the engine numbers do not change.
Need diesel. Only 1.8 MT, generation 1: 58 hp, 108 Nm at 2200 rpm, 1753 cm³, 15 s, 155 km/h, 1080 kg. It is the slowest 0–100 and the heaviest kerb in the measured set. Mileage is not measured, so “buy diesel for fuel” is not a number from this file.
Need cheapest-feeling 1.3 Manual. 1.3 MT 68 hp or 1.3 MT 70 hp, Manual 5. Same 1300 cm³ and 92-octane Gasoline; 2 hp is the only measured split.
Need 95-octane petrol with named injection. Both 1.6 MT versions: Distributed injection (multi-point). The 1.3 line does not list a feed system.
If a used-car ad only says “Ford Ikon 1.3 MT” or “Ford Ikon 1.3 AT,” it is incomplete: two power ratings share each name. If it says “Ford Ikon 1.6 MT,” still ask generation, because the engine matches and the front discs do not.
