The Ford EcoSport facelift gets a new petrol engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. It remains the only sub-4m SUV to offer a petrol-auto combo!
Ford has finally launched the EcoSport facelift in the country at a starting price of Rs 7.31 lakh for the base petrol and Rs 8.01 lakh for the base diesel variants. The Ford EcoSport facelift made its world debut in the US in November last year and the US-spec EcoSport will be exported from India. The EcoSport facelift comes after more than four years since the nameplate was introduced in the country. In 2013, 60-65 percent of the Ford EcoSport was localised. And now, with the facelift, the sub-4m SUV boasts of over 85 percent in terms of localisation.
