Such a version was spotted doing test runs at places in India, which further gives us a sense of surety, however nothing on the same has been claimed by the company as of now. And If speculations are to be believed, the EcoSport will sport the similar dual-clutch automatic gearbox knows as Powershift, which is the cheapest dual-clutch gearbox in the world.
Ford uses the similar dual-clutch gearbox in its flagship sedan, the Fiesta as well. However, if it happens, the cost of the vehicle would certainly go up, so whether the company launches the AT version initially or bring it after seeing the response, is still a mystery.
And like we reported some days back, Ford India has officially said to launch the vehicle in February 2013. Although, The prices are not announced yet, we are expecting the car to cost between Rs 7-9 lakh. Stay tuned for more updates on the same . Cheers!
