As mentioned above, accompanying this price cut is the omission of certain features. This price cut by Ford is perhaps a result of the increase in the competition. When launched, the Ecosport did not have many competitors in the Indian market, however, that has changed now. Every major car manufacturer has one car on offer in this segment. This includes Maruti Suzuki which offers the Vitara Brezza, Tata which offers the Nexon, Mahindra which offers the XUV300 and Hyundai, which recently launched the Venue.
