As anticipated, Ford's surprise world premiere at this week's New Delhi 2012 Auto Expo was indeed a near-production-ready small five-door crossover model named EcoSport.
The EcoSport is based on the B-segment Fiesta platform with its exterior sporting several styling cues from the Evos concept that was displayed at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Highlights include a very large, trapezoidal grille at the front, while the back we find a tailgate-mounted spare tire.
“EcoSport has a tough, robust attitude that says ‘I can play with the big boys’”, says Ford’s chief designer J Mays. “But it also makes you want to play. That’s why it’s so appealing. EcoSport is perfect for crowded urban streets and inspires you to seek adventure away from the city too.”
The new Ford EcoSport is much more than just an ordinary. The moment you enter this subcompact SUV, the attractive cabin will grab your attention.
