Ford India has launched the all new Ford EcoSport, four years after the car introduced a new segment in the Indian auto industry. The Ford EcoSport got a facelift in the increasingly competitive compact SUV segment. The new car comes with all-new exteriors and interior and even a brand new petrol engine.
The Ford Ecosport is being pitched as a tough competition to Maruti's Vitara Brezza which has performed well in the compact SUV segment. Considering the low price-point and a host of new features that make the EcoSport modern, Ford has a good chance of making a big comeback in the segment.
The new upgraded petrol version of EcoSport is priced between Rs 7.31 lakh and Rs 10.99 lakh whereas the diesel version's price ranges from Rs 8.01 lakh to 10.67 lakh. The petrol variant comes with a mileage of 17kmpl and the diesel comes with a mileage of 23kmpl.
"The all new EcoSport reinforces our commitment to the Indian market...We have increased the level of localisation to 85 per cent from around 60-65 per cent when the model was first launched in 2013," Ford India Managing Director and President Anurag Mehrotra told reporters here.
According to the company there are 1600 new changes in the comparison to the outgoing EcoSport. The car also comes with dual front air bags and ABS as standard across all variants.
As a promotional offer, the company made 123 units of the new EcoSport available on Amazon. According to the company the car went out of stock within a few hours of its launch. The car is now available for consumers across Ford showrooms. The new EcoSport's total length is 3,998 mm and comes with a width of 1,765 mm and a height of 1,647 mm (without roof rails). The wheelbase measures in at 2,519 mm. The boot comes with a luggage space of 346 litres, which can be expanded to 705 litres by folding the rear seats.
