We are driving the Ford Ecosport in Goa, and even before we could lay our hands on the highly anticipated machine, Ford India has walked us exhaustively through the technology, the features and the philosophy behind the highly anticipated compact SUV. To top it up, they have also provided us a whole bunch of some neat shots of the sporty looking machine.
So after having spent a delightful evening with the designers, engineers and the top marketing brains at Ford from across the world, we think it would be apt for us to start our in-depth coverage of this important product for India with the first set of official images of the Indian version of car. What we have here are some really nice shots of the Indian spec car highlighting all the features of the car.
