Ford EcoSport Reviews

The Ford Ecosport facelift has been launched in India. Introductory pricing on the 2017 Ford Ecosport Facelift has remained unchanged and is exactly the same as compared to the prices of the pre-facelift outgoing model that was originally launched in India in 2013. The new Ecosport comes with a range of updates that includes a new front end look with new headlamps, fog lamps, LED daytime running lights and a new grille. Other changes on the exterior include new 17-inch alloy wheels, new tail lamps and an updated rear bumper. The new Ecosport also features several important upgrades to the interior. This includes the new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment setup that comes with Ford's SYNC3, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Ecosport now also comes with a leather interior package on the top of the line model. So lets see how it compares with its chief competitors, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon, Honda WR-V and Mahindra TUV300 in terms of pricing.

Riding on the back of a healthy growth expected in the segment, Ford India is expecting to log in more sales of the upgraded EcoSport which is priced between Rs 7.31 lakh and Rs 10.99 lakh (prices ex-showroom Delhi).

Bringing some freshness to its subcompact SUV, Ford India has introduced EcoSport Thunder Edition in the country with cosmetic and feature upgrades. The 2019 Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition is priced at Rs. 10.18 lakh for the petrol model and Rs. 10.68 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom) for the diesel version. The recently launched Hyundai Venue is off to a blockbuster start and that has pushed a lot of manufacturers to rejig their product range to remain competitive. The new Thunder Edition arrives just days after Maruti Suzuki introduced the Vitara Brezza Sports Edition in the market. In addition, the automaker has revised the 2019 EcoSport range by adding and deleting features across different variants.

This is the first time that the 2017 Ford EcoSport facelift has been spotted sans camouflage with all the necessary badging. The car is likely to go on sale in India during this festive season, which starts by the end of this month.

Like other Ford models, even the Ford Ecosport has been discontinued in India and since the announcement, the availability of used models in the resale market have gone up.
