2024 Ford EcoSport Relaunched in India – Iconic SUV Returns with Fresh Styling, Turbo Petrol, and Premium Features

Ford India has officially relaunched the iconic Ford EcoSport SUV in 2024, making a strong comeback in the compact SUV segment after a brief exit from the Indian market. With refreshed design, a powerful turbo-petrol engine, and smart technology, the new EcoSport 2024 aims to win back Indian SUV lovers. Prices are expected to start at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a premium yet accessible option for compact SUV buyers.

Bolder Styling with a Global Touch

The 2024 EcoSport now features a wider hexagonal front grille with chrome surrounds, new LED projector headlamps with C-shaped DRLs, and a redesigned front bumper that gives it a more muscular and modern stance. The signature rear-mounted spare wheel continues to be a highlight, maintaining the SUV’s original rugged identity. Dual-tone roof options, sporty alloy wheels, and a new Ocean Blue shade add freshness to the design while retaining the SUV’s bold character.

Premium Interior with Smart Tech

Inside, the EcoSport facelift offers a more premium cabin with soft-touch materials, leatherette upholstery, and a floating 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and is paired with a premium sound system. The SUV now comes with a fully digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, rear A/C vents, and a smart sunroof in the top-end variants. Ford has focused on enhancing cabin comfort for both daily commutes and weekend getaways.

Turbocharged Performance with BS6 Compliance

The biggest highlight of the 2024 EcoSport is the return of the 1.0L EcoBoost turbo petrol engine, now BS6 Phase 2 compliant. It delivers 125 PS of power and offers both a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission option. Ford has also introduced a refined 1.5L Dragon petrol engine for buyers preferring a naturally aspirated unit. The SUV delivers strong mid-range performance and dynamic handling, staying true to the EcoSport’s fun-to-drive DNA.

Safety and Global Standards

The new EcoSport comes equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, traction control, hill launch assist, and a rear camera with dynamic guidelines. Ford has retained its global safety standards in the Indian version, aiming to offer a secure driving experience. ISOFIX mounts and a strong safety cell make it a good choice for small families as well.

Variants, Price, and Booking Info

Ford is expected to offer the new EcoSport in four key variants: Ambiente, Trend, Titanium, and Titanium+ Sport. Prices will start at ₹9.99 lakh for the base petrol model and go up to ₹13.89 lakh for the top-end turbo automatic. Bookings are likely to begin soon through a hybrid sales model involving digital platforms and selected dealership partners.

Conclusion

The 2024 Ford EcoSport marks a solid return of one of India’s most loved compact SUVs. With global styling, refined engines, a tech-packed cabin, and class-leading safety, the new EcoSport is ready to take on rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Maruti Brezza. For enthusiasts and practical buyers alike, this comeback SUV is one to watch in 2024.
