Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ford EcoSport Ambiente is a solid choice in the compact SUV segment, offering a blend of performance, comfort, and features that make it a compelling option for Indian buyers. While it may not be the most affordable variant, the Ambiente trim strikes a good balance between price and amenities. The vehicles powerful engine, particularly the 1.5L diesel, provides robust performance and makes it enjoyable to drive, whether in city traffic or on the highway. However, the mileage could be a concern for some, especially for those with low monthly running distances. Despite this, the EcoSports overall package, including its comfortable interior, robust build quality, and decent feature list, makes it a worthy consideration for those looking for a reliable and fun-to-drive SUV.

Price

The Ford EcoSport Ambiente is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the 1.5L diesel Ambiente MT typically ranges between 8.5 lakh to 9.5 lakh, depending on the region and any local taxes. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around 10.5 lakh to 11.5 lakh. This pricing is intelligent, as it positions the EcoSport Ambiente as a mid-range option that offers more than the base model but doesnt break the bank. Its a good value proposition for those who want a feature-rich SUV without the premium price tag of higher trims.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 05 October 2023 06:11 PM Ford India has increased the price of the Ford EcoSport across all variants, including the Ambiente, by Rs. 1,500. This price hike is part of the companys strategy to adjust to market conditions. The EcoSport Ambiente now starts at around Rs. 8.19 lakh. I think this slight price increase might not significantly impact the vehicles popularity, given its robust features and performance.

Wednesday, 04 October 2023 08:16 AM Ford India introduced the Thunder Edition of the EcoSport, which, although not specifically an Ambiente variant, indicates the companys efforts to keep the model fresh and competitive. The Thunder Edition brings cosmetic and feature upgrades, showing Fords commitment to innovation even in its final days in the Indian market. I think such editions can attract buyers looking for unique features.

Saturday, 30 September 2023 06:13 AM The Ford EcoSport Ambiente, along with other variants, has been affected by Fords decision to discontinue manufacturing cars in India. Although the current stock will still be available, this move marks the end of an era for the EcoSport in the Indian market. I believe this decision will lead to a surge in demand for the remaining stock, especially for loyal Ford customers.

Wednesday, 10 March 2021 11:03 AM The Ford EcoSport Ambiente, like other variants, comes equipped with advanced safety features such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors. These features have been a significant selling point for the vehicle, enhancing its appeal to safety-conscious buyers. I believe these safety features are a major reason why the EcoSport remains a popular choice.

Saturday, 08 September 2018 04:26 PM The Ford EcoSport Ambiente has seen several recalls in the past, including one for 7,249 units of the petrol model manufactured between November 2017 and March 2018. This recall was to address issues related to the engine and other components. I think such recalls, although necessary, can impact consumer trust but also show the companys commitment to quality.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 03:12 AM Mileage is a critical factor for many Indian buyers, and the Ford EcoSport Ambiente delivers reasonably well in this regard. The 1.5L diesel engine is expected to provide around 13-14 kml in city driving conditions, which is respectable given the vehicles size and performance. On the highway, the mileage can improve, but its unlikely to exceed 18 kml. For those with moderate to high monthly running distances, the diesel variant is a better choice due to its better fuel efficiency compared to the petrol options.
