USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Ford EcoSport Ambiente 1.5L Diesel is a solid choice for those seeking a compact SUV that balances performance, comfort, and practicality. I found the 1.5L diesel engine to be powerful and responsive, especially on highways where it effortlessly reaches triple-digit speeds with minimal turbo lag. The cars handling is commendable, with good steering feedback and minimal body roll, making it a joy to drive both in city traffic and on long highway trips. The cabin is quiet and well-insulated, with features like automatic climate control, a sunroof, and ample storage spaces adding to the comfort. However, rear legroom is somewhat limited, making it more suitable for four adults. Overall, the EcoSport Ambiente offers great value for money with its robust build quality, feature-packed interior, and satisfying performance.
Price
In India, the Ford EcoSport Ambiente 1.5L Diesel is priced around Rs. 8.89 lakh ex-showroom. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can go up to around Rs. 10.5 lakh to Rs. 11 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the EcoSport Ambiente a competitive option in the compact SUV segment, offering a good balance of features and performance at a reasonable cost. The Titanium variant, which adds more features like projector headlamps, leather-wrapped steering, and hill hold assist, is available for about Rs. 65,000 more than the Ambiente, still making it a value-for-money proposition.
Mileage
Thursday, 21 November 2024 06:07 AM The Ford EcoSport Ambiente 1.5L Diesel offers a respectable mileage, which is crucial for those concerned about running costs. In city driving, you can expect around 15-18 kmpl, while on highways, the mileage can improve to around 20-21 kmpl. These figures are based on real-world driving conditions and make the EcoSport a viable option for both daily commutes and long road trips. The large 52-liter fuel tank also provides a good range, reducing the need for frequent fuel stops.

I personally like my car from the core of my heart. I bought it from Chandigarh after a long waiting period of 10 months, yeah after the launch, waiting period was too long. I fall in for this SUV the day it got announced so long waiting period never changed my mind. It is indeed a very attractive car with sharp edged headlamps, hexagonal chromed grill and 16-inch alloy wheels. My friends and family was also amazed to see it. The most amazing feature of this SUV is its emergency assistance. Coming to the interior, it has cushioned seats and driver's seat supports four-way adjustment. Overall, the interior is luxurious and comfortable. I have done many long tours on it in a comfy manner. Heading to boot space, it has 346 litres capacity which is less than duster but it is sufficient for huge storage. In my journey to Kashmir the boot space felt less as the luggage for five friends didn't fit the boot. We stuffed the boot to extent that it refused to open. That was the only issue I faced with EcoSport.

A Fully Loaded Compact SUV

The build quality is really good. Doors are heavy and need effort to shut. The interior quality is acceptable but in comparison to fiesta some plastics are compromised on their quality. They appear to be more shiny in this SUV. The seats are comfortable and you can easily long tours without any hassle. EcoSport, with the stunning as well as futuristic design is surely a head turner. The company has done no compromise with the quality and comfort factor in the SUV. Even in the base model you will get everything which you desire in your dream car. Braking is quick and clutch is super smooth. Gear box is easy to handle with short shifts, the knob is a little big but that is something which we can live with. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder, direct-injection turbo EcoBoost really does deserve the title of International Engine of the Year.

Best Features: Fuel Efficient

Pros: Build quality, smooth engine, low maintenance, attractive design, comfortable, fuel efficient, value for money
