With the launch of the 2017 Ford EcoSport, the company has finally given its subcompact SUV the much-needed update we were all waiting for. Interestingly, Ford India hasn't revised the prices and the cost of each variant remains exactly similar to the previous model, which is perfect considering the fact that the new EcoSport is a lot more feature-rich now making it great value for money. This also falls in the same price range that we predicted for the SUV. Ford has also removed the special edition models like the 'Black Edition' and the 'Platinum' pack and now the SUV is simply available in five variants - Ambiente, Trend, Trend+, Titanium, and Titanium+. Here's our detailed breakdown of the variant-wise features offered in the new Ford EcoSport facelift
