Ford EcoSport India launch soon. Brochure leake
It
has by now become a well known fact that the Ford EcoSport will be
launched in India later this month.
Ford India has so far refrained from
announcing the prices but the fact that the EcoSport will be exclusively
manufactured in India for right-hand drive markets would mean that the
heavy localization could enable the manufacturer to price the car ultra
competitively. Ford India has already got their fingers burnt by
initially pricing the new Fiesta sedan pretty high.
However, the official brochure of the
EcoSport has leaked on to the cyber space and seen here are images of
the upcoming compact SUV’s brochure.
The Ford EcoSport will come to us in as
many as three engine variants. The base engine variant will sport the
same 1.5 litre normally aspirated petrol engine that powers the Fiesta.
The second petrol engine variant will have the much hyped Ford EcoBoost
1.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine. The third engine variant, and the
one that will be seen bringing the volumes, will be powered by the
Fiesta’s 1.5 litre turbocharged diesel engine.
The Ford Ecosport will be sold in four
trim levels- Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Titanium Plus. The Titanium
variant will be available only with the 1 Liter EcoBoost turbocharged
petrol and 1.5 Liter Ti-VCT petrol engine. The Titanium trim level
brings along 6 speed PowerShift dual clutch automatic transmission for
the 1.5 liter Ti-VCT petrol.
The Ford EcoSport will be launched in as
many as 7 color options. The Titanium variant will get Smart Keyless
entry and Push Button Start. The SYNC emergency system will come in the
top two variants. The two top of the line variants will also get a
CD/MP3 player and a 3.5-inch multifunction display.
The EcoSport will come in two interior
colour options- Charcoal Black + Warm neutral gray (on all variants
except on Titanium (O) and Charcoal Black + dark shadow gray (on
Titanium (O)).
As for the prices, they aren’t out yet
and your guess is as good as ours.

ReplyDeleteI think you ought to be updated your article because Ford ecosport has been launched in India in the early morning. The all parts of the SUV has been manufactured by Indian company. So, if we discuss its engine and power, we will see that the technology used in the SUV is far better than duster.
