In terms of design, the EcoSport Titanium S variant will first and foremost get the 'S' badging on the boot lid. Up front, the front grille goes all black, smoked projector headlamps with LED DRLs. Moreover, it will also offer black cladding surrounds for the foglamps and black roof rails. The most notable change is the new sporty alloy wheels that look much cooler than the standard one. However, this may result in the 17-inch wheels on the Titanium+ replaced with smaller 16-inch wheels. At rear, the EcoSport Titanium S variant also gets black roof-mounted spoiler with integrated brake lights. Moreover, the Titanium S will also get a tweaked instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch display and orange highlights on the seats and door trim. On the other hand, the Titanium Signature trim will get a spoiler, blue highlights on the seats and door trim, Electronic stability control (ESC) and Hill Launch Assist (HLA). And don't forget the electronic sunroof on both the new variants and the Signature badge on the boot-lid.
