Received this document from a ford dealer in Bhopal, helps clear a lot of doubts in the two new variants.

Kudos to Ford for coming up with a sensible Ad., usually car ads are limited to a guy driving recklessly to win over a girl.

Coming back to the vehicle, alloys and sunroof definitely enhance the vehicle, however don't think we can ever use this in cities like Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi for the pollution levels are way too high

I read that in one of the articles too. Hope its true!

Autocar India’s report of the Ecosport S is out now:

Quote:

Power delivery is linear and brisk, and Ford have managed to eliminate some of the lag that was characteristic of the earlier car. Flex your right foot and it takes off from 1600rpm but the real punch is delivered only after the 2000rpm mark, continuing all the way upto the 6600rpm redline. There are no flat spots and the pull is nice and clean. Overtaking is a rather easy affair even if you’re cruising in fourth gear and decide to make a quick move. Tractability is another highlight of this SUV as you can amble around in the city in third gear quite easily without needing to constantly shift through the cogs. Speaking of which, the clutch is firm and not as light as some of its rivals – which could be an issue in traffic – but it is fluid and progressive, and this helps reduce jerky shifts.

Quote:

Ford is offering the S variant on both petrol and diesel models and both are priced at a premium of Rs 85,000 over the Titanium+. In the diesel version, this difference would get you only extra features like the HID headlamps and the sunroof. However, the petrol, in addition to these, also gets you an upgrade to the EcoBoost engine and the six-speed manual gearbox. Add to that the sporty styling and the fantastic driving dynamics, and the EcoSport S makes for a cracking value proposition.

The review nowhere mentions anything about upgraded sporty suspensions parts or steering rack. Same stiff ride with good handling anecdotes associated with Ford have been used generously to make it sound relevant to Sporty pretensions of S.

Its safe to assume that S is nothing but a sticker job to stay relevant even after Creta's launch with Sunroof. Sorry to break this news to people expecting more but thats the truth

. I will be happy to be proven wrong.

It's strange that top of the line S version don't have shark fin antenna

These regular antennas are prone to theft and stick out like a sore thumb when try putting a cover on (need to remove it each time).

The orange color inserts are standard in the S version, or it depends on the exterior shade? I find it quite tacky instead of sporty.

They are standard. It would have been okay with the Signature version.
I like what they havve done with thee speedo console on the S. A big change from the bland meter console of the other variants now.

I had been to Ford today. Ecosport Signature Edition in Black colour looked fantastic

Visited the Ford showroom to test drive the Freestyle and saw the Titanium S Ecosport on display.
Liked all the aspects of the car and was thinking the Ecoboost version would have been right for me if I had waited. But after hearing the 14!laks on road price for the same, it didn't matter.
The best part I liked was the contoured front seats. Reminded me of the new Fiesta ad well as the good looking wheels.
