Safety and After Sales Service – The 2018 Ford EcoSport S gets 6-airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, Hill Launch Assist and Electronic Brake Assist and ISOFIX child seat mounts as standard. In terms of after sales, the American automaker has a wide reach across the country and off lately has been emphasising on low cost of maintenance. For instance, the fifth year cost of service for the EcoSport is as low as Rs. 3675/-.

The EcoSport S is definitely an enthusiast’s car
Verdict – Ford is charging a premium of approximately Rs. 85,000/- for the S variants and honestly, I feel that the EcoSport S makes a lot of sense for someone who wants a quick petrol car that also offers an engaging driving experience because the EcoBoost engine is definitely better than the regular Dragon petrol engine. For someone who wants only a diesel car, even the regular Titanium+ variant should do fine because the S gets just cosmetic enhancements and a couple of extra features and if you really want the sunroof, you get the Signature trim too.

The MID display is larger than the standard EcoSport’s and gets a tyre pressure monitoring system
