Ford EcoSport prices hiked

Not even three months after its launch, Ford India has increased the prices for the EcoSport compact SUV, with prices going up by around Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000, depending on the variant, effective immediately.

The price rise means that the starting price for the 1.5-litre petrol Ambiente variant is now Rs 5.85 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), up by Rs 26,000 from Rs 5.59 lakh. Similarly, the top-spec 1.5-litre Titanium (O) diesel trim now costs Rs 9.40 lakh, up from Rs 8.99 lakh, while the 1.0-litre Titanium (O) EcoBoost variant’s price has gone up by Rs 41,000 to Rs 8.69 lakh.

We had also previously reported that Ford dealerships had stopped taking bookings for the EcoSport, with delivery periods ranging anywhere between six months and nine months.

Ford also plans to hike the prices of its entire line-up by around 1 to 5 percent soon.
