Test Drive of Ecosport with Ecoboost engine

Exterior Great looks and styling. Excellent paint quality

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots of gadgets. Perhaps a bit over the top with too many buttons. Fairly comfy seating for four adults / well-fed adults ! Decent head and legroom. Effective aircon.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Medium torque but great pickup once it gets going. Touched 125+ in no time which will give a run for their money to most of the compact sedans in the 10.00 lac plus category. Very easy gears. Engine practically soundless. Fuel economy ? Wait and see I suppose.

Ride Quality & Handling Tightly sprung with good ground clearance. Soft steering (smallish wheel) and responsive.

Final Words Contemporary technology. Great looks. Well priced. Good alternative to the over-priced Duster with far less features.

Areas of improvement Decrease the clutter in the dashboard or one would require a co-pilot to fiddle with all the stuff. Make the front bucket seats a shade bigger & more comfy. Come out with bolder colours like Yellow etc. also.

Style quotient, gadgetry, ground clearance, fit & finishNothing major, except front bucket seats should have been 10% bigger especially width
