| ![]() Yes June launch seems unlikely. I don't even see them start manufacture it before July 01, because of the GST impact on all the systems. Why would one want to make all the entries for a new car, all the suppliers doing the same and then again change everything in a couple of weeks ![]() Because of this reason, I don't think they can even do the Media Drives.

Well the consolation can be that there is not much that is going to change in the facelift apart from the ICE screen. Also Ford might do away with some of the safety gadget to price the car more competitively. Last time I visited Ford, the SA there told me that Ford has stopped taking bookings for Titanium + variants of Figo twins. It might be owning to some production issue or possibly less demand. So I am happy with the current car. | |

| ![]() I am quite eager to see if Ford is going to reintroduce the driver armrest and lumbar support in the new facelift, which was discontinued in early 2017 models. ![]() ![]() -Ravi |

| ![]() Unlikely, from all the test mules spotted so far around the country. Couple of new pictures of the export version, clicked in Coimbatore. https://www.motorbeam.com/2017/06/ca...d-test-rounds/ Last edited by Gannu_1 : 22nd June 2017 at 17:47.

| ![]() So as per Ford Brasil, the top of the line Ecosport 2018 will also get 4.2-inch TFT driver information display, as well as a sunroof. Sunroof hasn't been spotted in any test mules so far in the country, however I would pray for/love if the info display makes it to Indian models also. What do you guys think, any chance? and here's a brand new, detailed walkthrough of the model. Especially useful if any one of you understands portugese ![]() Enjoy! |

| ![]() Did any of you check this link, the HU looks similar from the spyshots of the facelift? Is this platinum edition new or am I really late to the party? https://www.india.ford.com/suvs/ecos...20ecosport-new |

![]() The platinum edition was launched in Jan/Feb 2017 and has the touchscreen as shown in the ford website. This is different from facelift HU ( i believe its a chinese make) and ford introduced it as a stop-gap arrangement with a touchscreen and cruise control functions before the new gen-2 facelift. The current EcoSport sold ( i believe above Trend variant - Titanium, Titanium+ and Platinum) has this touchscreen. Platinum has additional features like Cruise control, black roof painting, auto headlamps etc. Check out this video. -Ravi | |

| ![]() Thanks for the info. I am in a weird place with a weird budget to replace my Duster AWD. My requirement is that it has to be an SUV (purely for the Ground clearance) and it should have an auto box. So am cross shopping from eco sport to X1 and everything in between. If the facelift gets DCT on diesel (hoping against the hope) I will settle for the new Ecosport and use the leftover cash elsewhere. |
