However, officials remain tight lipped about the launch date and the tentative pricing. 

Much has been said about Ford's upcoming compact SUV, the EcoSport ever since it was first showcased in Concept form at the 2012 Auto Expo in New Delhi. And with barely just a month remaining before the newest urban SUV hits the Indian market, Ford India is leaving no stone unturned in creating maximum buzz towards its EcoSport in the SUV-loving market. 

 

After announcing a fresh new contest called EcoSport Discoveries on the 1st of March, the winner of which will get to drive home a brand new EcoSport, Ford India announced a public unveiling of the urban compact SUV that got underway today at Mumbai's Infinity Mall in Malad.

I had an opportunity to have a live look and even experience the SUV today at Mumbai Infinity Mall at 1400 hrs. WOW was the FIRST reaction from the second floor and when I reached on first floor standing in front of the suppose to be FORD SUV. I felt WOW what a car. Later on, after a few minutes we had the opportunity to have a feel of it. Second experience was shit what a dashboard. Too bulky and also the front view was not angular, means I could see the ground away from the SUV about 6 feet. That means if a obstacle is there right if front of the car you wont be able to judge it specially, problems will arise when you are driving on Ghat section. But as we all started to sit in it and experience the SUPPOSED TO BE SUV, more than half of the people present over there said that the back seat is equivalent to Alto 800, some said it is almost Beat specifications and so on. No one was satisfied with the space provided. There were murmurs that this is for Ham do hamare do Family. Lastly if this is for “we two our two” then at the price of over 8 Lakhs base variant who will go for it? But, for me it was a BIG SHIT OF AN ELEPHANT, after all the hype generated for over a year. The front driver seats were cramp. The rear seat could hardly accommodation two Adults around 80-90 kg size. Over all it was a POSH Wagon R from Maurti . GOSH what a waste of time and hype. I personally am disappointed as I left Duster and Quanto from my hand. Had I earlier booked either of those I would have been a proud owner of one of those. Anyways, ALL THE BEST FORD.
