A remarkable ground clearance of 200 mm and 550 mm water wading pretty much allow EcoSport to overcome uneven roads with ease.

It is one of the best sports utility vehicles (SUV) to ride from dawn till dusk, indulge in sweet sleeps and then shun the bed to get ready for yet another remarkable experience.
