Ford EcoSport Review

1. The buying experience for the car was pretty smooth. I got the delivery of the Petrol Titanium model in February, 2018 within a month of booking the car. The dealership was very cooperative. 2. The new 1.5L dragon petrol engine is a BIG improvement over the previous engine. It has good amounts of power and torque. The car never feels underpowered but of course the engine is not as punchy or exciting as the 1.5 TDCI. I bought the the petrol variant because my daily run is not much. 3. The looks of the car are obviously subjective, but I find them pretty good especially the front grille in the facelift model. The projector headlamps, even though halogens are pretty good. But the alloys are pretty normal, not that great looking. The ones on the previous generation were better. On the inside, it's very good. The new touchscreen with Sync3 is flawless. Ambient floor lighting, automatic climate control and many useful features are there. The only bad thing about the interior is the instrument cluster. The speedometer and the odometer are way too simple and bland. The multi information display looks like it's from 2005. Even though they have updated it now with better graphics. 4. The service interval is 10,000 Kilometres or 1 year and the services are priced pretty nicely and the process is smooth and problem free. 5. To sum it up - Pros : -Looks -Nice interiors -Powerful and refined engine -Adequate space -Solid build Cons : -Poor fuel economy (I get 10kmpl in the city) -Bland Instrument cluster -Reverse Parking camera available only with Automatic Titanium Plus model or Economist model
