The first-generation EcoSport was a car designed and engineered in Brazil for Brazil. This new car, however, will be exported all over the world, with India being one of the first markets to get the car. It’s no surprise – the appeal of the car is just massive. Very attractive to look at, fantastic to drive, comfortable, sufficiently spacious on the inside, well equipped and just the right size for city streets, the EcoSport is just the kind of car Indian customers want. The Renault Duster has recently proved just that. Equipped with a 1.5 diesel for India, a modern direct-injection turbo petrol motor (the 123bhp 1.0-litre EcoBoost) and even the option of a twin-clutch gearbox, the EcoSport has the potential, if priced somewhere in the region of Rs 6-8 lakh, to be the most successful Ford ever sold in India. Let’s hope Ford gets it right.
