Actually the DV5 engine in the Ecosport is one of the best 1.5 Diesels in terms of having very turbo lag. I own an Ecosport 2013 TDCI and the car has only 90 hp (compared to 100+ hp in most engines of this size that came subsequently). While high speed acceleration may be a bit wanting, this does translates to very low turbo lag at city speeds. The car is only mildly turbocharged and has a very small turbocharger. I have owned the Hyundai Verna 1.6 CRDI and a VW Polo 1.2 TDI before and my mother has a Fiat Punto with the 1.3 multijet and compared to any of these engines, the Ecosport is worlds apart in terms of how less the turbo lag is. |

Have not found much difference between the BS4 and BS6 models in this respect either. Last edited by arindambasu13 : 10th June 2020 at 10:42. | |

Thanks Arindambasu. I do drive a petrol, 1.2 ivtec in amaze. The drivability under 2k is pretty bad with more than 2 ppl on-board. But I still find a lot better compared to driving a terrano 110ps. As long as the lag isn’t as bad as in the K9k 110, I ll be happy. I have a td booked for next week. |

The Ford TDCI is better as compared to say, the 1.3 DDIS, but the lag is certainly noticeable. I drive the same 1.2 iVTEC on the Brio, and also the 1.5 iVTEC on the Honda city, and going by these, the TDCI seemed a fair bit laggy in the second gear in the Ecosport. Try it on the Aspire/ Freestyle though, you will be pleasantly surprised at how differently the engine behaves on those cars. | |

| ![]() My BS6 Ecosport TDCi will complete 3 months in a few days and will be up for first service (which is supposed to be 2.5K km/3 months). My car has run around 1K km. The first service is just the nominal check-ups. Engine oil change is scheduled for the second service (which is supposed to be 10K km/1 year) and every annual service thereafter. I am wondering if it would be beneficial to get the engine oil changed in the first service itself. Not sure if it'll actually be useful or a waste of money (particularly for the 1.5 TDCi engine). Please share any thoughts around the pros and cons of this. TIA |

Having said this, the Ecosport with the 130bhp 1.2L TGDI should be a real hoot to drive. | |

The service advisor was surprised to know that the BS6 1.5 TDCi requires 6.5 liters of oil as against 3.8 liters of earlier 1.5 TDCi. The owners' manual of BS6 TDCi too mentions the capacity as 6.5 liters. That is quite a bit of an increase in engine oil capacity! Apparently, mine was the first BS6 TDCi they changed oil for (which is fair as BS6 TDCi was introduced in Jan 2020 and no one else must've reached 10K km for the second service which needs oil change as per the schedule). The bill was Rs. 31XX owing to the new higher oil requirement. Though there is no measurable improvement because of the new oil per say, overall the engine seems to have freed up quite a bit. Current odo stands at around 1500 km. | |
