The EcoSport also gets matching black alloy wheels, roof rails, and roof crossbars completing the 'Black Edition' look. The body colour options remain the same with no additional choices and like the regular EcoSport.

Same is the case with the equipment as the SUV continues with the same features that include - automatic headlamps, signature light guide, daytime running lights, electro-chromic mirror, rain sensing wipers, push button start, 16-inch alloys and Ford's advanced in-car connectivity system - SYNC with AppLink. There are no mechanical changes either as the Black Edition continues to offer the same three powertrains that comes in the standard EcoSport - 1.5-litre TiVCT petrol engine with both manual and automatic transmission options, 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine as well as globally-acclaimed 1.0-limited EcoBoost engine. Transmission duties are taken care of by the same 5-speed manual gearbox and Fords tried and tested 6-speed dual-clutch transmission unit. Speaking about the new EcoSport Black Edition, Anurag Mehrotra, executive director Marketing, Sales & Service at Ford India said, "Besides an outstanding value for money proposition, the Ford EcoSport continues to be admired for its impressive, head-turning design. The new 'Black Edition' accentuates EcoSport's bold design, giving the compact SUV an even more striking look and a substantial road presence.
