Following the success of Figo, Ford plans to launch mini SUV based on the same platform. The mini SUV which ford plans is said to be reworked model of global product ecosport. Ecosport is currently sold in brazil and mexico. However the indian verson might be different. As Ford worked on the previous generation fiesta to make india specific figo, ecosport might be re-engineered.
When is the ecosport launch?
Ford Ecosport will hit the market by end 2012. Like the figo, ecosport may be shown in advance (probably in 2012 auto expo) but the launch may happen only by end 2012. Ford has already finalised next generation fiesta launch in 2011
How much ecosport will cost?
Similar to figo, we can expect an aggressive price tag for ecosport as well. Ford is the king of diesel engine, it is no wonder ecosport may also get the 1.4L TDCi engine. Ecosport may take on the likes of Mahindra Xylo and Tata Sumo Grande. Ford ecosport is expected to be priced around Rs7 to Rs8lakhs
