2019 Ford EcoSport and Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition launched in India
Ford India has launched the 2019 EcoSport, with prices starting at INR 7.69 lakh*. The updated range includes a 'Thunder Edition' costing INR 10.18 lakh* onwards.
The recently launched Hyundai Venue is off to a blockbuster start which has forced many automakers including Ford to rejig their B-segment offering. A few days ago, Maruti Suzuki introduced the Sport Edition Vitara Brezza, and now Ford has launched the EcoSport Thunder Edition. Also, Ford has increased localisation in the EcoSport to bring down its prices.
The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition sports new 17-inch alloy wheels, black-painted front grille & rear-view mirrors, darkened headlamps, black fog lamp bezels, dual-tone bonnet and decals on doors. The sporty theme is carried over inside with ample use of cognac accents on various elements, including front seats, door inserts, instrument panel and centre console. The interior highlights include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with built-in navigation, dual-tone leather upholstery with contrast stitching and an electric sunroof as well.
The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition can be purchased with either the 123 PS 1.5L three-cylinder TiVCT petrol engine which delivers fuel efficiency of 17 km/l or the 100 PS 1.5L TDCi diesel engine with fuel economy rating of 23 km/l. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard.

Ford will replace the EcoSport in India with an all-new SUV co-developed with Mahindra. The made-for-India EcoSport successor, however, is still at least a year away. Back to the existing model, the prices have been slashed marginally.
