    Ford India has launched its first BS6-compliant model for our market – the EcoSport SUV, with prices starting from Rs 8.04 lakh for the 1.5-litre petrol variant. The BS6-ready Ford EcoSport 1.5-litre diesel is priced from Rs 8.54 lakh.

    The Ford EcoSport BS6 petrol comes with a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine good for 122hp and 149Nm of torque. This engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox. A total of seven variants are available on the 1.5 petrol EcoSport. The company has discontinued the 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine for our market. The BS6 EcoSport also gets a 1.5-litre diesel engine good for 100hp and 215Nm of torque. This engine is available with a single 5-speed manual gearbox. The diesel will be offered in a total of six variants, bringing the total petrol and diesel variants of the updated SUV to 13. The company has also announced that the BS6 EcoSport range comes with a standard three-year/1,00,000km warranty.

    Key features of the updated EcoSport range include six airbags on higher variants. Depending on the variant, the SUV will get either an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment with the Ford SYNC 3 system (replete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), or a 9.0-inch multimedia system. Higher trims also get features like HID headlamps with daytime running lights, rain-sensing wipers and push-button start, amongst others.
