Ford India resumes bookings for EcoSport

Ford India has resumed bookings for all variants of its popular compact sports utility vehicle EcoSport.

The company had stopped taking bookings for the vehicle in the wake of heavy demand.

Ford India had introduced the EcoSport on June 26, 2013, and received 30,000 bookings within 17 days.

"With 50,000 EcoSports delivered, we have significantly reduced the waiting period and are pleased to extend the opportunity to book the Ford EcoSport to more customers," Ford India Executive Director of Marketing Sales and Service Vinay Piparsania said today in a statement.

The 1.5-litre petrol variant is now available for between Rs 6.14 lakh and Rs 8.97 lakh. The 1.5-litre diesel option is priced from Rs 7.19 lakh to Rs 9.48 lakh.

The 1-litre petrol variant with Ecoboost technology ranges from Rs 8.43 lakh to Rs 8.95 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).
