The EcoSport compact SUV has been a major contributor to Ford's sales in the domestic as well as international markets. On numerous occasions camouflaged images of the test mules surfaced which made potential customers eagerly wait for the facelift version. Without making fans wait much longer, the American automaker will be showcasing the 2017 Ford EcoSport at the upcoming Sao Paulo Motor Show on November 8.
For the international market, Ford will offer a new 1.5-litre 'Dragon' three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. If launched in the Indian market, it will continue to be powered by existing engine options in the form of a 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine which generates 99bhp of power, while petrol trims will continue to be powered by a 1.5-litre Ti-VCT and a 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine.
Speaking about design, the new model is expected to get a revised front with revised grille, tweaked headlamps and tail lamps, and revised bumpers. The facelift version will sit on a new set of alloy wheels. As for the interior, the vehicle gets a revised centre console, new infotainment system and new set of rectangular air-conditioner vents. Owing to fresh revisions the new model is expected to appear more spacious than the older one. More details about the vehicle will be known post the official event.
