Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition is a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment in India. What stands out is its stability at high speeds and the strong, predictable braking performance, which enhances overall safety and driving confidence. The 1.5L Ti-VCT petrol engine, known as the Dragon engine, offers good refinement and performance, making it suitable for both city driving and long road trips. The Thunder Edition also boasts a sleek and aggressive design, which appeals to those looking for a stylish and feature-packed vehicle. However, the interior space, though adequate, may not be the most spacious in its class. Overall, it is a fun-to-drive SUV that balances performance, comfort, and features, making it a strong contender in its segment.

Price

The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition is priced at around Rs. 10.68 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can go up to approximately Rs. 12-13 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the EcoSport Thunder Edition competitively against other compact SUVs in the market. Given its robust engine, stable handling, and the array of features it offers, the price seems justified for those seeking a well-rounded compact SUV experience.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 04 October 2023 08:10 AM Ford India has introduced the Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition, bringing cosmetic and feature upgrades to the subcompact SUV. The Thunder Edition is priced at Rs. 10.18 lakh for the petrol model and Rs. 10.68 lakh for the diesel version. This launch comes as a response to the competitive market, particularly after the introduction of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza Sports Edition. I believe this move will help Ford stay competitive in the Indian market.

Wednesday, 04 October 2023 12:14 PM The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition is part of Fords strategy to revamp its product range in response to market competition, especially with the success of other subcompact SUVs like the Hyundai Venue. This edition aims to offer more value and features to potential buyers. I believe this strategic move will help Ford retain its market share.

Tuesday, 04 June 2019 10:44 AM The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition features smart exterior changes, including dark inserts on the headlamp bezels, a black roof, and black alloy wheels. These updates enhance the compact SUVs appeal and give it a more aggressive look. I think these aesthetic changes will attract buyers looking for a stylish and robust SUV.

Thursday, 23 May 2019 01:24 PM Images of the Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition were spotted at a dealership yard, revealing the special edition models design. The Thunder Edition includes unique badging on the rear door and other distinctive features. I believe this special edition will be a hit among those who want a unique SUV.

Saturday, 16 February 2019 01:52 PM Ford India has 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 update is part of Fords efforts to keep the EcoSport competitive and feature-rich. I think this is a positive step in enhancing the driving experience.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 01:53 PM The Ford EcoSport Thunder Edition offers a mileage of 15.9 kmpl, which is respectable for a petrol-powered compact SUV. This mileage is sufficient for daily commuting and occasional long drives, helping to keep running costs manageable. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient option, the balance between performance and fuel economy makes it a practical choice for many buyers.
