Ford EcoSport Facelift

Ford India’s dark horse, the EcoSport, got a mid-cycle facelift on November 9, 2017.  Except for the addition of a Platinum variant, the compact SUV didn’t receive any update since the time it was first launched back in 2013. Hence, Ford has brought this facelift with extensive changes both inside and out. In fact, the additions and deletions have gone inside the bonnet as well. It’s time to find out what the EcoSport facelift has in store for us.

What makes the exterior look smarter?

The updated EcoSport has received extensive changes to its looks. Most of it is limited to the front fascia where it gets a redesigned front profile with a single hexagonal radiator grille (split one in its predecessor), bigger headlamps with bi-xenon lighting and LED daytime running lights and restyled fog lamp housings with integrated turn signals. The bonnet is slightly raised in the centre and gradually drops toward the sides.

Except for the addition of new 17-inch alloy wheels on the Titanium+ variant, the side profile is almost similar to the pre-facelift EcoSport. At the rear, it gets a new spare wheel cover and a minor tweak to the bumper. The rest of the details have been left untouched.

Ford EcoSport facelift colours

Among the seven colour options of the outgoing model, four shades - Golden Bronze, Kinetic Blue, Mars Red and Panther Black – have been replaced by these new colours - Absolute Black, Race Red, Lightning Blue and Canyon Ridge. The remaining three colours are the Diamond White, Moondust Silver and Smoke Grey.

What makes the interiors more adorable?

You’ll be completely surprised as soon as you step inside the updated EcoSport. The cabin is a radical departure from the earlier one, and has been bestowed with a new instrument cluster (8.0-inch MID screen for higher variants and a 6.5-inch for the lower ones) and a floating SYNC 3 touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Furthermore, it gets a soft-touch material at the top of the dashboard and a new steering wheel. It continues to get dual-zone automatic climate control and leather upholstery among other features seen in its predecessor.

What makes the cruising happier?

Ford EcoSport Engine

The EcoSport facelift is no longer available with the critically-acclaimed 3-cylinder, 1.0-litre Ecoboost turbocharged petrol engine and the older 4-cylinder, 1.5-litre, naturally-aspirated petrol engine this time around. Instead, it gets a new 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder TiVCT petrol motor from the new Dragon series of engines that generates a phenomenal power output of 123PS and 150Nm of peak torque. This engine can be had with either a new 6-speed torque convertor or a 5-speed manual gearbox. Ford has retained the 1.5-litre diesel mill with the 5-speed manual gearbox with the facelift.

The EcoSport facelift returns mileage figures of 17kmpl (14.8kmpl-AT) and 23kmpl with its petrol and diesel engines, respectively.
