The Platinum Edition may not be the last update to
the current Ford EcoSport as the Blue Oval is seen trialling a dual-tone colour
scheme for the pre-facelift Ford EcoSport, photos shared by reader Alok Garg
reveal. The novelty of the stripes and contrast roof could help clear inventory
of the outgoing model faster, could be part of future Ford genuine accessories,
or a special edition for an export market.
Tthe Ford EcoSport with the two-tone colour scheme is lavished with black
racing stripes on the bonnet and a contrast white on the A-pillar, roof,
C-pillar and around the window line. The door mirrors are finished in the body
paint, and the 16-inch alloy wheels are not new.
The new EcoSport, along with a Ford
Escape-inspired front fascia, gets a redesigned instrument, dashboard and
centre console, horizontal central HVAC vents and Ford SYNC 3 infotainment
system with an 8.0-inch floating screen and compatibility for Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto. The updated EcoSport reportedly goes on sale in India around
Diwali.
The Ford EcoSport is offered with 112 PS 1.5-litre Ti-VCT petrol, 125 PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol and 100 PS 1.0-litre TDCi diesel engines and 5-speed manual and 6-speed
PowerShift dual-clutch automatic transmissions.
