The massive 1.5-litre TDCi diesel motor carries all the significance and it kicks out 100 PS peak power and 230 Nm peak torque and delivers a fuel economy of 22.27 kmpl. The transmission duty is done by a five speed manual gear box besides a six-speed dual clutch PowerShift automatic transmission available in the range-topping petrol Titanium trims. The EcoBoost engine is a highly adaptable unit that claimed several international awards and Ford used it to perfection in this compact SUV as well. Roof Rails The roof rails are another stunning part of visual propeller. They descend down to give a sporty appeal while doing their assigned duty of carrying heavy loads as the SUV is destined to.

Bumper & Body Cladding allows you to play on any terrain Ford didn't forget the fact that EcoSport should comprise of off-roading abilities to the finest levels and it's one of the main reasons why the product has been globally successful.

The flamed-out elements on the EcoSport are as attractive as any other styling bit in the sport utility vehicle.

The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) with Brake Assist function supplements the braking trait as the grippy tyres can be brought to stoppage with ease in the event of avoiding collision. The Brake Assist detects automatically when to apply the brake and in case of an emergency situation it feeds the input electronically and aids in avoiding life threatening damages.
