The facelifted Ford Ecosport has been spied on the roads without any camouflage. Going by the spy shots, it will get a refreshed exterior profile and perhaps a few upgrades in the cabin.

The spied model here gets a new front grille with chrome and gloss black surround, inverted ‘L’ shaped LED DRLs, new round fog lamps, a wider central air dam, and a redesigned skid plate. Most of the front profile has been refreshed, save for the projector headlamps. Seems like it will also be available in a new Orange colour.

The rear remains unchanged save for the new skid plate The boot-mounted spare wheel indicates it will also get new alloy wheels. The cabin is also expected to be revised with some additional features.
