Now, one can expect that a mileage of not less than 20 kmpl will be delivered by this frugal 1-liter engine. This is a great number seeing the profiles of SUVs in India. Ford has spent more than adequate time and expertise in the aerodynamics of this car to boost up the fuel efficiency.

Ford Ecosport is expected to give a very smooth ride and is designed thoughtfully to provide a classic driving experience even on the rugged Indian terrains.Ford has also planned to keep the price of Ford Ecosport easy on pocket. Apparently, this new car in India will land between the price range of Rs 7 lakh-Rs. 9 lakh.




The interiors of the Ford Ecosport are designed with complete style and American car maker has made sure that apart from being stylish and modern, it is very crucial for the interiors to be comfortable too. The seats of the car are comfortable for five and relaxing, accompanied with ample of space provided for luggage storage. Also the legroom and headroom spaces in Ford Ecosport are brilliantly done so that none of the passengers including driver face any discomfort in the car. To accessorize the car more, the steering wheel will be leather wrapped along with carpeted floor and centre console will be positioned at the correct level. Colors used inside are sporty turning on the youth inside. Furthermore, to enhance the driving experience there will also be AM/FM radio and CD player so that driver could zoom away with music. Voice control and SYNC takes the compact SUV ahead in the race of SUVs. Bluetooth and USB connections would not be a problem in Ecosport India. The digital clock present on the centre console will never make you late for any meeting. The American car maker surely is aware of extreme heat in the country, therefore a powerful air conditioning system will also adorn the new Ford Ecosport.
