    Ford EcoSport

    Ecosport is a sub 4-metre SUV, and hence despite having are a ground clearance of 200mm it still gets 3% lesser duty on the SUV when compared to competition. The 1.0-litre petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel also get the excise benefit on the diesel. The Ecosport took about one and half years to be launched as Ford spent a good time in increasing the localisation by 80-85%. he Ecosport gets keyless entry, push start and stop, and even reverse parking sensors. The range-topping version gets Bluetooth connectivity for telephone and music streaming.

    Ecosport will be coming with 1.5-litre petrol that will be available in manual and automatic. The automatic version will be the six-speed dual clutch transmission and this will be the first compact SUV in its segment to get this technology. The Ecosport also gets SYNC, which is a feature we will see for the first-time in an Indian car.  The pricing of the Ecosport should be between Rs 7-10lakhs.
