4.0 Exterior | 3.0 Comfort | 3.0 Performance |
4.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Looks very good with all new design and concept, the car has very good ground clearance which is certainly required on indian road conditions.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors quality is definitely good compared to Duster, Ertiga etc. Things on dashboard are well placed and handy. Back row spacing is cramped but under thigh support is good enough to accommodate 2 persons comfortably on a long route. Phone Sync options is interactive though need to check more on its realibility.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I drove swift diesel to the SC ford showroom to test drive the ecosport, To be honest, I didn't feel much of a difference between the two if the initial pick up is concerned. Check the torque of both cars and you find not much of a difference. Car reaches moderate speed in moderate gear ratios. Nothing extra vagant about the pick and speed. Fuel economy is claimed @ 21, shall get around 17-18 KMPL practically. Suspension system is solid and good enough to carry bumpy mumbai roads and potholes.
Ride Quality & Handling Good Ride quality, feels rigid when speeding. Handling is smooth, Less body rolling inside.
Final Words Value for money as no other compatct SUV is avaiilable in this price range, Though need to check on Ford Spare Parts, Service and Maintenance expenses.
Areas of improvement Interior spacing and rear boot. Also the torque should be higher as there are lot of other cars in this price range have better pick up.
