      Five things that make Ford EcoSport a steal are its impressive looks, powerful engine, brilliant mileage, plush interiors and cutting edge safety features. To begin with, exteriors of Ford EcoSport are extremely stylish and boast of numerous striking aspects. This stunner has a meticulously designed frontage with a wide radiator grille, a thick chrome strip and other chrome elements as well. Adding to its look is the prominent Ford insignia affixed in the centre. There is a large headlight cluster that has been powered with high intensity halogen lights and side turn blinkers. The road air dam in the front aides quicker cooling of the engine, while the fog lamps surrounding it add to the visibility of the driver. Enhancing the elegance of this SUV is the roof that has been fitted with a couple of stylish roof rails and the body coloured side skirts as well as scuff plates.

      What else entices the customers about Ford EcoSport are the opulent and luxurious interiors that have a number of plush aspects. The seating is very comfortable with seats covered in premium upholstery. It flaunts roomy insides, rear parking sensors, a powerful air conditioner unit, sophisticated audio system with speakers and a remote control. The audio unit has input options such as USB and Aux-In interfaces along with Bluetooth connectivity. Then there is an excellent multi-function driver information system, a tachometer, front and rear arm rest, the external wing mirrors and foldable rear seats, which increase the boot space.

      Lastly, the EcoSport lives up to the brand name when it comes to handling and safety. Ranging from airbags and ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) along with EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) to ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and central locking system, this SUV has it all. Other than these, the SYNC feature incorporated in Ford EcoSport alerts the emergency services automatically, in case of hazardous situation, which is also its one of the key highlights. With so many positives about Ford's latest compact SUV, it will be interesting to see whether or not its rivals Renault Duster and Honda Brio MPV will be able to register sales figures similar to that of EcoSport.
