Just got the Ecosport 1.5 Petrol Automatic in September 2019...the BS6 version...which is the latest one. Below is the summary of my pros and cons which will help a potential buyer evaluate the car,
Pros-
-Great Looks
-Great Power
-Automatic wipers
-Smooth and aggressive Automatic Gearbox with almost no lag, complete with a manual sports mode and paddle shifters
-Trendy interior looks with a big 9 inch touch screen and a decently sized information screen next to the odometer, bigger than the BS4 version
-Space is the same as before...seat comfort has improved a bit
-Storage space is almost the same as before
-Great City and Highway car...will never let you feel underpowered
-Touch Screen unit has a built in GPS
Cons-
-Horrible mileage...around 7kmpl in city and a max of 9-10kmpl on Highways
-NO Android Auto or Apple Car Play
-NO Sun Roof
-NO Voice Commands/Control
-NO connectivity apart from Bluetooth and USB
-NOT a smart car
-Knocking sound when brake is released in 'Drive' Mode and 'Reverse' Mode
Overall Conclusion: The BS4 version was fully equipped with smart features. However, the new model has been stripped of them all. Although it does drive like a dream and will certainly exceed your expectations in the city and on highways, it will surely burn a hole in your pocket.
Also, in case you are planning to buy this or any Ford vehicle, please DO NOT buy it from SC Ford Showroom in Malad. They have massively cheated me by showing me a BS4 car for Test Drives etc, but not informed me about the missing features in the BS6 version which I have got. Their sales reps are trained to hide information and will certainly figure a way to cheat you one way or the other. So beware!
