Ford to introduce EcoBoost on the EcoSport again!!

1.0-litre petrol engine all set to return on a sportier ’S’ version of Ford's compact SUV; likely to be launched in May.

Thanks to numerous spy shots floating on the internet, it's no secret that the Ford EcoSport range will grow with the addition of two new variants: the Titanium S and the Signature Edition. However, we have some big news: Ford is all set to reintroduce the performance-oriented 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine on the EcoSport. 

Just like its predecessor, the EcoBoost-powered EcoSport Titanium S trim will sit right at the top of the range. With the Titanium S, Ford is aiming for customers who want an EcoSport that's even more fun to drive than the standard car. The company is sticking to its philosophy of providing a sportier, more powerful version of its standard models, just like it did with the Fiesta S a few years ago – and more recently, with the Figo Sports Edition. In addition to the extra power, the EcoSport Titanium S will also feature a stiffer suspension setup which is more suited to spirited driving and quicker steering, similar to the previous EcoSport.

The Titanium S variant will also be available with the 1.5-litre, 100hp diesel motor. Additionally, it will also come with a sunroof – a feature increasingly sought-after by Indian SUV buyers, today. It will get new 17-inch alloy wheels which mimic the design seen earlier on some BMW SUVs. Standard on the EcoSport Titanium S will be HID headlamps, a slightly tweaked instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch information display, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The car will get a contrast roof, black inserts for the grille, headlamps and fog lamps. A new 'Satin Orange' paint shade will be introduced on this variant, and it will get colour-coordinated interiors, so that the Satin Orange Titanium S will sport elements finished in the same shade on the centre console, doors and the seats.
