Ford
India introduced a brand-new variant to the EcoSport lineup, priced at Rs 10.49
lakh for petrol and Rs 10.99 lakh diesel variants.
Christened
Ford EcoSport SE, the new variant features design cues borrowed from its
American & European peers, where the compact SUV is sold without a rear-mounted spare
wheel.
Apart
from an elegantly designed tailgate and a new, dual-tone rear bumper that
sports a silver applique, the SE variant retains EcoSport’s butch, robust
appeal with a bold grille, 16-inch alloys and high ground clearance that
enhance its SUV credentials.
Ford
EcoSport SE comes with an easy to use puncture kit that will enable owners to
repair tyre damage within minutes, without the hassle of removing the tyre from
its slot.
Introduced
in Titanium trim, the EcoSport SE carries forward the legacy of superior
technology and connectivity with Ford’s renowned SYNC 3 infotainment system
with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as Ford Pass integration.
Ford
EcoSport is the only compact SUV to offer mobility and connectivity solution
FordPass across its entire lineup. FordPass is a one-stop smartphone app
meeting diverse ownership needs, at no additional
cost.
With a factory-fitted cloud-connected device, EcoSport owners can perform
several vehicle operations -- like starting, stopping, locking or unlocking
remotely, via the FordPass app.
The
new EcoSport SE is being offered with a 1.5L three-cylinder TiVCT petrol engine
that delivers 122 PS of power and 149 Nm of torque. Those who prefer diesel can
choose the EcoSport SE paired to a 1.5L TDCi disel engine, delivering a peak
power of 100 PS and peak torque of 215 Nm. Both the engines will be paired to
Ford’s five-speed manual gearbox.
