Exterior and Interior

The newly launched Ford EcoSport SE variant features a dual-tone rear bumper with silver applique. The variant has retained the bold grille design and rides on 16-inch alloy wheels. Additionally, the EcoSport SE gets a sunroof and also comes with a puncture kit that will enable the owners to repair tyre damage within minutes without removing the tyre from its slot.

The new variant gets the SYNC 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system also gets the Ford Pass integration, a one-stop smartphone app. With a factory-fitted cloud-connected device, EcoSport owners can perform several vehicle operations like starting, stopping, locking or unlocking remotely, via the FordPass app.

Engine

The Ford EcoSport SE variant is powered by a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder TiVCT petrol engine which produces 119bhp of power and 149Nm of torque. The 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine generates 97bhp and a peak torque of 215Nm. Both the engine options come mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Features

The EcoSport SE does not get a spare wheel. However, it does offer TPMS, a puncture kit, and tubeless tyres. As per the latest amendment to the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, passenger vehicles with seating capacity of up to nine occupants are exempted from providing a spare tyre. However, the exemption is applicable only if the vehicle has TPMS, tubeless tyres, and a puncture kit.
