We have seen it under a Fiesta Body shell, we have seen it under heavy camouflage, we have seen the locked-up production model and we still want more. Ford India rocked the 2012 Auto Expo by presenting the concept version of the Ford EcoSport. Donning a cool orange metallic paint with some chrome garnish, the concept was nothing less than a show stopper on a ramp.
But our good friends at ChinaCarTimes have managed to snap two images of the production version of the Ford EcoSport. Rejoice my fellow petrolheads because the production version will remain true to the model shown at the Auto Expo. We can see the headlamps, grille and tail lamps being identical to the one we saw in New Delhi. More good news is that according to the pictures, the Ford EcoSport looks ready for production.
The Ecosport will be powered by a 1L petrol engine and a 1.5L diesel. If Ford India get the pricing right, India will witness a Compact SUV revolution on the roads. Ford India has already committed 750 crores of investment just for the EcoSport.

That right, everything blends on pricing. If they had priced new Fiesta properly then it would have become darling. It’s really too pricey for a car having poor – interior quality, space, built quality and engine power w.r.t Hyundai Verna. If the Ecosports won’t be priced correctly then Renault Duster will spoil it’s market.
