The dedicated men and women of Ford India are working very hard to exceed customer expectations, and our dealers have begun accepting EcoSport bookings,’’ said Joginder Singh, president and managing director of Ford India.

Meanwhile, the EcoSport has begun rolling off the production line in Chennai – one of the five plants globally where the compact SUV will be built. “The EcoSport looks fantastic,” said Ford president and Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally, who was in Chennai recently for a plant visit. “The Chennai team, together with our supplier partners, have done an outstanding job in delivering our customers a great looking, fuel efficient, safe, compact utility vehicle with impressive functionality and connectivity, at a very affordable price.”

The EcoSport will be available in 10 variants and three engine options: a 1.0-litre petrol EcoBoost plus the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel motors that power the Fiesta as well. While the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine develops a maximum of 125PS of power, the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel units put out 112PS and 91PS respectively.
