Who would buy one?

The Ecosport is a car that appeals to the young buyer. Its dynamic, edgy looks turns heads and is ideal for all those who want to want to be noticed. Young men and women have taken to this car because of its blend of fun and practicality. People living in high altitude areas will appreciate the turbo petrol which will not run out of steam in lower oxygen conditions.

Note worthy

1. Interiors: Wow! Sophisticated, feature packed interiors are a paradigm shift for Ford. The crown jewel of its interiors is the infotainment system. Intuitive, easy to use, and falls-to-your-hand positioning makes it a delight to use. The material quality is nothing to write home about but is certainly better than before.






2. The Ecoboost Engine : Don't let the 1.0 liter displacement fool you. The Ecoboost is a jem of an engine. It is both efficient and powerful. It has a great mid range and a wonderful top end. Do not overlook the S version as it offers more equipment (Sunroof). The new 6 speed transmission is light and flickable unlike the older versions, and complements the engines characteristics. The petrol and diesel engines too can pack a punch.
3. Handling: Typical Ford characteristics shine through the brilliant chassis and communicative streering. The Suspension setup on the S version will delight the petrolhead with its beautiful balance. The Ecosport feels like a hot hatch more than an SUV.






4. Styling: Edgy, beautifully proportioned and likable. This is nothing short of the most stylish Sub 4 Meter SUV on sale.

Not worthy

1. Narrow Cabin : The rear seat cannot seat 3 abreast, unless the 3rd person is a kid, or a person who doesn't complain. 
2. There really isn't a lot wrong with the car!

Which Variant Should I buy?

Go for the S (petrol) which is powerful, frugal, and offers a unmatchable experience for its price. The trend 1.5 diesel is a good option as it offers all the features you will ever need. The Titanium plus automatic will apeal to the female car buyer who wants a convenient runabout.
