I for one think the pricing is superb for the top of the line petrol manual. You get a lot of kit for your money and this is one Ford that is known to ride well.

That huge touch screen is definitely a highlight and so are all the active safety kit which has been carried over from the previous model.

They have definitely lost the plot for the AT pricing, that too with the 1.5l TiVct engine which does not excite in any sense of it.

The end of the road for Ecoboost in India.

Is there a car in the Ford EcoSport 1.5L Petrol Titanium+ AT's range offering more for your money?

I have been trying to find a photo of 6.5" screen on the lower variants. Could someone please share the same. I am hoping that quality of 6.5" is at par with the 8" screen.

Guys I think this pricing is introductory.
Have a look at this.

[aryayush]

Although I seriously doubt that Ford would increase the price of the Titanium+ AT anytime soon, I wouldn't put it past them to do so for the other variants. In any case, I'm glad I made the decision to buy it immediately upon launch instead of waiting till January.

As an ad man, happy to see Ford India shot the ad around Gurgaon's Cyber City only, as well as the underpasses leading up to it (probably wee hours of the morning).

Refreshing to see an american car maker ditching flashy foreign locations (where those car won't be driven), to desi and relatable locations. Well done, Ford and GTB India.

2. When they launch the facelift they can claim a marginal increase or no increase further creating a positive feel. Today we believe that there is no increase.

Was this hike due to cess change? The price change became effective sometime mid September and there was about 5% change as I remember.

The new eco sport looks much better and especially the interiors look modern now. The previous phone inspired center console looked awful.

Are Ford dealers in Mumbai back to their fleecing games? Following is a comparison of price difference between Mumbai and Bangalore.



Mumbai dealer charging 10k more for Zero dep insurance and 1.8k more for Essential kit. For 1.8k you get Key chain, Car freshner and Doc holder. Like seriously?

Consumers have accepted the fact that Titanium AT+ is priced at a premium which means both Ford and their dealer will make more money on this model. If that's not enough, now dealers want to extract even more

Also, I wish offered 4th & 5th year of extended warranty. Only 3 years warranty offered which is a shame.

I plan to get zero dep insurance from a third party provider, will be much cheaper to do. I'll suggest the same to you.

Essential kit is crap - simply don't buy it.

I'm on the margins about 3rd year extended warranty though - do you guys think it is worth it?

Guys, please don't allow anyone to fleece you. Some dealers are notorious and known for this. You don't have to pay anything more than the ex showroom price plus registration charges. If the dealer insists, immediately send a mail to ford customer care. Also call the customer care in front of the dealer and register your complaint. Tell them to take the booking on your terms.

I had pre booked the facelift and am second in line. I am only paying the dealer the ed showroom plus registration. I am taking my own insurance.

No, it was not due to the cess. It was a well planned increase.

Here's the on-road pricing list from Harpreet Ford, Delhi.

Online Insurance cos like Coverfox, PolicyBazaar haven't added the new Ecosport Titanium+ AT yet to their model list. Hopefully will be done by next week for easy comparison.

In my Hyundai cars, I've found the showroom provided insurance policy to be much more convenient than the one I took out myself based on a lot of online research, for the simple reason that if you go with the showroom's provider, it's a genuinely cashless and hassle-free affair. Wouldn't the same apply to Ford dealers?

It might be or might not be, I am not sure. All I know is, If "y" car manufacturer has a tie up with lets say "x" insurance provider and I get the quote from the same provider from outside, I don't see why my insurance won't be cashless. Would't make sense. I also know the quotes of insurances from dealers and if you do it yourself differ a lot and hence I always buy it from outside. If someone has first hand experience with this can elaborate more.

For cars costing between 10 lakhs to 20 lakhs Karnataka charges 18.87% including cess

Plus dealer charge a hypothecation charge of ₹1500 plus number plate charge of ₹800
You can knock off 1500 if you get your own finance & save another 800 if number plate is bought outside
That's the break-up here in bangalore, should be the same across Karnataka

Hope this helps
