More images: 2015 Ford EcoSport facelift spotted in India

Here are some more images of the refreshed Ford EcoSport.

Ford had displayed the refreshed Ford EcoSport at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015. Later, the vehicle was then spotted testing in India.

We have already seen that the refreshed EcoSport does not get a tail gate-mounted spare wheel. It is unclear whether Ford has relocated the spare wheel or given the EcoSport a tyre mobility kit as shown at Geneva. The EcoSport also gets a revised rear swing-gate that enables easier partial opening when limited space is available. This test mule has a revised rear bumper with a skid plate, and UK-spec alloy wheels. The car does not have roof rails.

The interiors of the EcoSport shown at Geneva featured a restyled instrument cluster with a chrome surround and light dimmer, chrome tips for the window switches, a repositioned handbrake lever, a 4-inch colour display, charcoal black lower instrument panel, centre console and door boards and partial leather seats. With Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki gearing up to enter the crossover segment, it could be possible that Ford considers giving the EcoSport updates on these lines to make it more appealing.

On the mechanical front, the EcoSport is likely to continue using the same engines as the current model. However, Ford could tweak them for more power. A revised suspension could be on the cards as well.

Ford has not yet announced any plans to launch the refreshed EcoSport in India.
