one can now buy a smartphone with every feature within 10k. so why it is so hard for car manufacturers to put a decent touchscreen with navigation on cars worth lakhs? look at tata Hexa for example, top model comes around 20 lakhs on road, wonderful car with all features but have a laggy puny screen
Cars are meant to be driven and not play around with the touchscreen music system. This causes huge distraction. Adding 20 airbags to the car and making it safe for the passengers is good, but, adding an iPad like infotainment system isn't good for other cars and pedestrians. A 5"-6" touchscreen is ample, IMO.
Riding down from Udaipur to Ratnagiri in my EcoSport was dream. As I was watching this review many trip memories rushed down my mind. Specific one instance was while driving down from Pune to Ratnagiri we should from the highway track to the single road track from Karad onwards.ecosprt was a dream to drive on the track which was full of narrow Ness and hill terrain. Never did I feel tired or thought of an excuse to stop due to fatigue though Pune-Ratnagiri is 350 KM's. Long. Driving was a pleasure on that winding and different terrain due to EcoSport's petrol engine response.
when ecosport will get started for selling? I want to buy titanium+ variant of this car but i am confused that what should i buy petrol automatic or diesel?
This time I like this car especially the interior and the features match up with the competition....I"ll definitely buy it now over nexon and I know very well about the Ford's quality and longetivity...
What variant of Titanium this Ford Ecosport has? I've seen a lot of walkthrough videos from different channels and I don't see any sidehandles/grabhandles for this. Can someone answer me? Thank you.
I am booking my Ford EcoSport 1.5L Dragon Petrol Manual Titanium+ Dear all users, please give your honest opinion about the car. I live in Varanasi. 500-700 kms a month. Occasional highway rides. 4 people family. What mileage should I expect in light driving conditions with moderate traffic like Varanasi. Any other recommendations? Thankyou in advance.
I have booked Ecosport Titanium plus. One problem I observed is; Even when the car is centrally locked, the Car can be opened from inside 'normally' while in motion (without driver's intervention)... This can cause accident if someone (especially children) accidently opens the door while the car is in motion. What Ford people is saying is it is an added safety during crash. Is it so?
Hello, I am planning to buy new ecosport titanium but confused between petrol and diesel. My yearly running will be near about 15000 km. please let me know right choice also what tge average fir both variant.... Thank you in advance....
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CAR FROM PAST 8 MONTHS, Thank you "Autocar India" for the Ford EcoSport First Drive video. I am in love with this car now :-) Only disappointment is WHYYYY why THERE IS NO "SUNROOF" FORD WHYY???? . not India when its available in other countries. :-( why not "MY INDIA" I think it's FORD's business plan to introduce Sunroof in 2019 with Platinum and Platinum+ models this will keep Ford up in the competition of compact SUV segment. Ford Smartly end this face lifted variant till Titanium + for now. I believe Sunroof will come to India with Platinum and Platinum+ models, however i can't wait anymore, i am buying the top end 1st in Navi Mumbai. If you like my comment please hit the like ;-) Thank you Autocar India.
Whats the Water Wadding Depth for this car ! Is it Still Available, If yes then is it on manual model or on automatic too. Would be happy to know more about in detail. TIA (Y)
diesel auto is sure a miss rear AC vents no at all a must as the AC compressor is 110 cc as opposed to 90 of most competitors, so its more powerful AC, New tail lights for WHAT? SHow off.. See new Ecosport has improved leaps and bounds where it matters, rest all are just cosmetic
Danish, I am a Ford driver for past 4 years and indeed had the same question each time I went for car service and the point they made is very logical... With a 1.5 litre engine they do have diesel auto gear box technology but with bad Indian roads and technically harsh driving since no rules are followed about lanes with frequent breaking and gear shift, that might burn the auto clutch which is shifting gear for you which will increase the maintenance for customer but on the other side its easy to implement the technology in petrol engine cvt technology.... Good news is thrilled new ecosport gearbox for automatic is borrowed from its brother Ford focus which is one of the most powerful hatch on UK and Europe
Ponygt 662 your views on dragon 1.5 p engine in comparison to 1.5p I vtech engine in terms of performance, endurance & reliability? Also on automatics side which one is better engine??
Poor under-thigh support was the sole reason I decided against buying an ecosport earlier this year, despite of loving the car overall.. You mentioned seats are broader, but has the seat base length been increased too?
Can you please tell us what is this colour called ? Lightning blue or Candy blue Does any variant come with blacked out headlamps and fog lamps? Is the design on the 17inch alloy wheel different from the one on the 15inch ??
The blacked out version is Titanium S. I also want that but don't know if it will launch anytime soon. The 17 inch design is same as the 16 inch but the 17 inch on Titanium S will look different.
Very nice and informative.. Sir I have been in a dilemma since last week I am buying my first ever car and highly confused between Ford Figo Trend 1.5 lit diesel and maruti Baleno 1.3 Delta Diesel. Sir pls guide.
Can someone throw some light on the R17 lower profile tyres on the titanium+. Are they better on Indian city roads and give better comfort? I'm about to book the T+ diesel variant. Thanks!
One question sir - nexon diesel top model book karwaya Hai Maine ..24 the Nov pick karni Hai.. Kya ecosport diesel li jaye Nexon booking cancel Kara ki .. Yan nexon ke sath he Jaya jaye
Hello .... Which car is better for a 180 km ride on a state highway, where in there is 2 way traffic.... The Ford Aspire or Ford Ecosport??? Please suggest
What about the mileage of ecosport Petrol .. can any owners report ? Also, about the A-Pillar. I've heard it being mentioned in almost every review. Is it a problem considering the Indian traffic conditions. Finally, is Creta Petrol a better option than Ecosport Petrol. The power figures are almost similar. If anyone had driven both, can you share your feedback pls.
I am planning to buy FORD ECOSPORT diesel ((espically for 6 airbags-14 lakhs budget)) car for long tours like ladakh, spiti valley. etc.. So please suggest me, if ECOSPORT is capable for these type of roads???
Thanks to autocar for making us aware of face-lift ford ecosport.. It can lead sales chart if ford changes plain instrument cluster adding rear ac vent and top of the line model with sunroof.
We would like to buy new Tata nexon XM 1.2 Revotron Petrol version car?How is the Performance of this car comparing to Ford Ecosport 1.5 Petrol 1.5 Ambiente .Which is worth to buy?
Absolutely a perfect compact suv and I think upgraded one will make it again remarkable in terms of performance, build quality, price tag as well. As we all know ford is known for its Rigid structure I hope it would bring a smile upon consumer
No use to compare any car with Maruti Cars irrespective of quality and handling and other negatives Maruti has their own customers who simply buys their cars blindly for them it is just MS tag is enough to make them go for buy, now when come to comparisons of Nexon and Eco sport I did test drive both of them are really great cars, more than any other brand both this cars are definitely going to damage the sales of Hyundai which they lacks good petrol engines, because now a days people are more prone to buying Petrol Cars then diesel if I m correct..
Ajay Seervi Ecosport comes with 3 cylinders while cars in segments below it have 4 cylinders like i20, swift or grand i10. Does it make any difference?
i was never fan of eco sport but now the new looks and interiors changed my mind. Good job Ford
Say what you want to but the ecosport still looks fresh and is a solid car to drive and overall I still love it.
one can now buy a smartphone with every feature within 10k. so why it is so hard for car manufacturers to put a decent touchscreen with navigation on cars worth lakhs? look at tata Hexa for example, top model comes around 20 lakhs on road, wonderful car with all features but have a laggy puny screen
U r right bro... they neither care for brand image nor the customer's... what matters to them is only money....
Titanium agree
the same thing I was wondering always😂😂
Cars are meant to be driven and not play around with the touchscreen music system.
This causes huge distraction.
Adding 20 airbags to the car and making it safe for the passengers is good, but, adding an iPad like infotainment system isn't good for other cars and pedestrians. A 5"-6" touchscreen is ample, IMO.
sir, the screen has been revamped and now please use the nexon as it is was recently tweaked by Harman
looks far better than the competition. Hope they will price it competitively

Ford is best . Have been driving ecosport for last 1 yr and its superb in dynamics. Waiting for the updated aspire. Will definitely go for it
Ecosport has always been impressive ! The new one seems much more superior in terms of looks, comfort & performance. 👍🏻
Who wants to see a drag race between Ecosport, Brezza and Nexon?
Congratulation Guys You did it again. First one to review the car. Love you guys.
when ecosport will get started for selling?
I want to buy titanium+ variant of this car but i am confused that what should i buy petrol automatic or diesel?
Gavin.. how tall are you? You must mension to get a correct impression on the leg room or head room.
Good thing it has tyre pressure monitor
Bad thing it doesn't have rear ac vents!
Does it have cruise control?
Bought a 2019 titanium plus (D) 😍😍 Driving dynamics of this car cannot be compared
2020 may diesel titanium
Do we get the similar infotainment system to Figo anytime soon?
ecosport lovers hit like!❤🔥
Guys plz suggest me? Will plan to buy a car ?which is best nexon or ecosport?am confused!!!!!bcoz both got a good reviews nowadays!
Any suggestions , im going with the 1.0l petrol ecoboost platinum edition ? Worth?
This time I like this car especially the interior and the features match up with the competition....I"ll definitely buy it now over nexon and I know very well about the Ford's quality and longetivity...
What variant of Titanium this Ford Ecosport has? I've seen a lot of walkthrough videos from different channels and I don't see any sidehandles/grabhandles for this. Can someone answer me? Thank you.

Dear all users, please give your honest opinion about the car. I live in Varanasi.

What Ford people is saying is it is an added safety during crash. Is it so?
planning to buy ertiga zdi+, is it best time to buy or shall i buy it in january?
Amazing..... congratulations Autocar...again you are far ahead than the contemporaries.....thumbs up...
I liked the previous gens alloy wheel design but this one has a much better interior
Hello, I am planning to buy new ecosport titanium but confused between petrol and diesel. My yearly running will be near about 15000 km. please let me know right choice also what tge average fir both variant....
Thank you in advance....
Why is there no navigation? What good is that bigass touchscreen for if you forget to put navigation system
It's good to see a drastic facelift after so many years... excellent styling...great work done by FORD
Automatic transmission will come in petrol and Diesel???
petrol
is ecoboost coming with this facelift.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CAR FROM PAST 8 MONTHS, Thank you "Autocar India" for the Ford EcoSport First Drive video.

Hai i am confused ...is the new petrol engine titanium is worth....coz i am planning to buy.....what will be the mileage ....?
What about new AT gearbox, how does it compare to old and more technically superior DCT.
eagerly waiting for Autocar India review on 2017 Ford Ecosport. Thanks for the upload.
Are the front headlight projectors are HID (WHITE LIGHT) or just standard projectors (yellow beam light) ???
What about Titanium S variant? Is it coming to India? And when?
is there sunroof in any of the variant in new ford ecosport?
Whats the Water Wadding Depth for this car ! Is it Still Available, If yes then is it on manual model or on automatic too. Would be happy to know more about in detail. TIA (Y)
Whats the base price in ex showroom delhi with all necessary features...
What about rear seat bottle / coffee cup holders? Do they exist or like the aspire are they forgotten here as well?
yes they exist but only in Titanium and Titanium+
Ford should have added automatic gearbox to diesel motor, and a rear AC went , and new pair tail lights for better package..
diesel auto is sure a miss
rear AC vents no at all a must as the AC compressor is 110 cc as opposed to 90 of most competitors, so its more powerful AC,
New tail lights for WHAT? SHow off..
See new Ecosport has improved leaps and bounds where it matters, rest all are just cosmetic
Agreed

Also on automatics side which one is better engine??
Ayaan Basu how is automatic petrol variant, In terms of maintenance?
When this car is available...
Because I'm planning to buy this car in this month end....
Poor under-thigh support was the sole reason I decided against buying an ecosport earlier this year, despite of loving the car overall.. You mentioned seats are broader, but has the seat base length been increased too?
not having navigation is not doing justice to such beautiful screen...also ford said that it will come with b&o music system...wat about that?
Will U pay extra 2 lakhs for Navigation and B&O
India is extremely price conscious, so Ford just skimped them to provide more important features
Can you please tell us what is this colour called ? Lightning blue or Candy blue
Does any variant come with blacked out headlamps and fog lamps?
Is the design on the 17inch alloy wheel different from the one on the 15inch ??
Rakesh JR lightning
lightning blue
