The sub-4m SUV segment has grown in both size and recognition in recent years. it had been the Ford EcoSport that set the ball rolling when it had been launched eight years ago. The carmaker has now silently revised the SUV’s feature and list . First, let’s take a glance at the updated prices:
| Variant | New Prices | Old Prices | Difference |
| Petrol | |||
| Ambiente MT | Rs 7,99,000 | Rs 8,19,000 | -Rs 20,000 |
| Trend MT | Rs 8,64,000 | Rs 8,99,000 | -Rs 35,000 |
| Titanium MT | Rs 9,79,000 | Rs 9,78,000 | +Rs 1,000 |
| Sports MT | Rs 10,99,000 | Rs 11,23,000 | -Rs 24,000 |
| Titanium+ AT | Rs 11,19,000 | Rs 11,58,000 | -Rs 39,000 |
| Diesel | |||
| Ambiente MT | Rs 8,69,000 | Rs 8,69,000 | No difference |
| Trend MT | Rs 9,14,000 | Rs 9,49,000 | -Rs 35,000 |
| Titanium MT | Rs 9,99,000 | Rs 9,99,900 | -Rs 900 |
| Sports MT | Rs 11,49,000 | Rs 11,73,000 | -Rs 24,000 |
While the costs of the Ford SUV have gone down by up to Rs 39,000, the mid-spec Titanium petrol variant has become costlier by Rs 1,000. On the opposite hand, the worth of the diesel-powered base-spec Ambiente MT has remained unchanged while that of the second-to-top Titanium MT variant has gone down by a marginal Rs 900.
Apart from the worth revision, Ford has also added a sunroof to the Titanium variant. Until now, a sunroof was offered only on the top-spec Sports and Titanium+ variants of the sub-4m SUV. With the update, the sunroof-equipped EcoSport is cheaper than all its rivals, except the Tata Nexon. However, do confine mind that this is often excluding the Maruti Vitara Brezza/Toyota Urban Cruiser and Nissan Magnite as they don’t get a sunroof. Ford has also announced that the Titanium+ variant will soon move for an exciting update. We expect this to pertain to the new 130PS 1.2-litre mStallion turbo-petrol engine from Mahindra.
Ford has made no changes under the hood of the SUV. it’s still offered with an equivalent set of 1.5-litre petrol (122PS/149Nm) and diesel (100PS/215Nm) engines with a 5-speed MT as standard. The petrol-powered EcoSport gets the choice of a 6-speed converter gearbox also .
The EcoSport goes up against the Nissan Magnite, Kia Sonet, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, and therefore the upcoming Renault Kiger.
