Ford India has expanded the EcoSport range with the
addition of a new variant. The Ford EcoSport Titanium+ Petrol manual has gone
on sale priced at INR 10.47 lakh (ex-showroom across India). The
petrol Titanium+ grade was available only with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Rahul Gautam, vice president marketing at Ford
India, says that the introduction of the new variant comes on the back of
customer demand for a fully loaded petrol manual model. The introduction of the
Ford EcoSport Titanium+ Petrol MT also helps bridge the massive price gap
between the Titanium Petrol MT (INR 9.51 lakhs) and Titanium+ Petrol AT (INR
11.31 lakhs).
In the Titanium+ spec, additional features over the
Titanium grade include 17-inch alloy wheels and 6 airbags. Other notable
features on offer are projector headlamps, LED DRLs, 8-inch touchscreen for the
SYNC3 infotainment setup, tyre pressure monitor, cruise control, reverse
parking camera, automatic headlamps and more.
The 5-speed manual transmission pairs with a 1.5 L
3-cylinder petrol engine developing 123 PS and 150 Nm. Ford claims a fuel
efficiency rating of 17 km/l. The automatic variant comes with a 6-speed torque
converter while the Ford EcoSport diesel is only available with a 5-speed
manual transmission option.
