Ford EcoSport (2019) Updates

Wednesday, 04 October 2023 11:27 AM The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition was launched in India, bringing cosmetic and feature upgrades to the subcompact SUV. The 2019 Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition is priced at Rs. 10.18 lakh for the petrol model and Rs. 10.68 lakh for the diesel version. This move is seen as a response to the competitive market, especially with the success of the Hyundai Venue. I think this edition adds a nice touch to the EcoSports lineup.

Tuesday, 29 August 2023 10:39 AM Ford India has issued a recall for the 2019 Ford EcoSport due to a defect in the oil-drive belt tensioner arm, which can fracture or separate, causing a loss of vehicle power and power braking assist. This recall affects models from 2016 to 2022 and has left many owners waiting for replacement parts that are not expected to be available until next year. I believe this is a significant safety concern that needs immediate attention.

Friday, 15 March 2019 09:10 PM The 2019 Ford EcoSport carries over mostly unchanged, with the same set of engine and transmission combinations. However, the Sync Connect system has been replaced by FordPass Connect, which offers real-time traffic information and a 4G LTE mobile hotspot. The top-of-the-line SES model now includes a new Black Appearance package. I believe these updates enhance the user experience without altering the core appeal of the vehicle.

Friday, 01 March 2019 08:22 AM The 2019 Ford EcoSport faces criticism for its slow acceleration and subpar fuel economy. Despite this, it is praised for its ease of maneuverability and the quality of its infotainment system. The vehicles towing capability is also a highlight, especially with the four-cylinder engine option. I think the EcoSports strengths outweigh its weaknesses for urban driving.

Saturday, 16 February 2019 07:03 PM Ford India updated the Titanium and Titanium+ variants of the Ford EcoSport with a new instrument cluster borrowed from the top-spec Ford EcoSport S variant. This silent update aims to enhance the driving experience with better instrumentation. I believe such updates show Fords commitment to improving their vehicles.

Tuesday, 15 January 2019 06:50 AM The 2019 Ford EcoSport lacks advanced driver-assistance features such as automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, but it does offer features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. This aligns with most competitors in its segment. I think these safety features are essential for modern vehicles.

Tuesday, 01 January 2019 10:09 PM The pricing for the 2019 Ford EcoSport in India ranges from Rs. 7.31 lakh to Rs. 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), depending on the trim and options. The SE model is often recommended for its balance of features and price, including a power sunroof and rear parking sensors. I believe this pricing makes the EcoSport a viable option in the subcompact SUV market.

Saturday, 08 September 2018 11:50 AM Ford India recalled 7,249 units of the Ford EcoSport petrol models manufactured between November 2017 and March 2018 due to issues related to the engine. This recall was specific to the facelifted EcoSport models. I think its crucial for manufacturers to address such issues promptly to maintain customer trust.

Monday, 16 April 2018 07:28 PM The Ford EcoSport Titanium S variant was spotted with new features, including a sunroof, new alloy wheels, and a six-speed manual gearbox. This variant also comes with a black exterior treatment, enhancing the SUVs aesthetic appeal. I believe these additions make the EcoSport more competitive in its segment.
