Ford ECOSPORT launched !
Ford EcoSport, the new urban compact SUV from Ford is the new talk of town. Ford has finally launched the much awaited Compact SUV with a tempting starting price tag of 5.59 lakhs!
We have seen Ford EcoSport in New Delhi Auto Expo in January 2012 and Ford has big plans for Ecosport to be exported to 40 countries from India. Compact SUV segment is slowly gaining popularity in India and Renault Duster is currently ruling Indian roads in the entry level category. It seems like Ford EcoSport can become a nightmare for Renault if Ford strike at the right chords.
Mahindra Quantro and Maruti Ertiga are other two rivals for Ecosport. Ford Ecosport will also attract compact sedan buyers who go for Honda Amaza or Maruti Swift DZire.
