Central government's decision to announce 3% hike in price
of SUVs to 30% will not affect price of Ford EcoSport SUV when it is revealed
in India. As per a report in The Hindu, company’s official said models such as
EcoSport will not be affected by this rise in duty; Endeavour model, however,
will now cost more. After impressive show by compact SUVs (Sports Utility
Vehicles) like Renault Duster in India, other car manufacturers are curious to get
a share of this fast-growing segment of vehicles. Car maniacs are looking
forward to the launch of Ford EcoSport scheduled for March 2013 although no
date has been officially confirmed yet.
Initial reviews about this utility
vehicle suggest Ford Ecosport is as close to what it looked like at Delhi Auto show
where it was first exhibited in India early last year. EcoSport’s interiors
have been declared ‘classy’ by those who have taken a close look on it. Car
looks fresh and comes with large spacious, providing sufficient leg and
headroom for compact SUV. Interiors promise to be ‘the quietest’. Further, ride
on EcoSport has been described as smooth and stable, and gearbox and handling
have also received a thumbs up. This automobile will come to India with two
engine options- 1.0 liter Ecoboost Petrol engine as well as the 1.5 liter
diesel engine.
