Ford EcoSport will be available with two petrol and one diesel engine option.

The India-spec EcoSport has almost 70 percent local content

Dual airbags are available on the Titanium trim while the optional pack includes side curtain airbags

There are a fair number of storage spaces and cupholders in the spacious cabin

The build and plastic quality on the two-tone dashboard is decent for this class of car

The massive grille up front gives it the blunt off-roader look

SUV look is further emphasised by the black cladding at the bottom of the bumpers and beneath the doors

Diesel variant comes with only a 5-speed manual gearbox. Petrol motor available with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed auto 'box

EcoSport's Emergency Assist system sends a voice message from the driver's paired phone to emergency operators in case airbags are deployed or fuel pump is shut off

Boot space is a little limited at 346 litres and the rear seats split 60:40 to make more room on all variants except the base Ambiente.

Front seats have under-seat storage space, a rather useful feature

Dials are well-positioned and easy to read on the go

Ford has added roof rails to add to the off-roader appeal of the car

The boot release is designed well such that it is incorporated with the tail-light section

Ecosport dash similar to Fiesta. Quality not on par with German rivals

Chunky 205 / 60 R-16 tyres play a big role in class-leading ride and handling

Tail-gate mounted tyre lends a true SUV look

Rear seats very comfy. Have adjustable rake, generous squab and decent legroom but overall cabin space not generous by SUV standards

Front seats very comfy with good side bolstering.

1-litre Ecoboost engine develops 123bhp and 17.33kgm of torque
