Again a set of spy images of the 2017 Ford EcoSport have surface online and we have there here for you. The updated model was spotted alongside an export unit which misses out on the tailgate mounted spare wheel. The cars look production ready and were spotted in Mumbai while being transported on a flatbed. The design and styling is identical to the model showcased at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. Slated to make its India debut later this month, on October 29, the upcoming Ford EcoSport facelift comes with a host of design and cosmetic updates. Additionally, it will also come with an all-new 1.5-litre petrol engine from the company's new engine line-up.
