India is one of the manufacturing hubs for Ford EcoSport and the company export EcoSport to lots of countries including USA. Usually manufacturers tend to test export models in India for hot weather or to gather data for future products. Ford is testing a US spec EcoSport and the test mule was spotted in Pondicherry.
The model spotted was mid-spec SE variant of EcoSport and compared to Indian model, the major difference is the lack of spare wheel mounted at the rear as Ford ditched it from International models due to customer feedback. But we Indians traditionally like this type of design which is why Ford kept it for India.
