The Ford EcoSport S marks the return of Ford's famous EcoBoost 1.0, the three-cylinder, 1.0-litre, turbocharged petrol engine. The engine debuted in India when the Ford EcoSport was launched originally in 2013 and makes a comeback, this time paired to an all-new six-speed manual gearbox. The EcoSport S gets a few cosmetic tweaks as well, which though minor help the sub 4-metre SUV look more premium and upmarket. While the EcoSport S is based on the Titanium+ variant, Ford has also launched a limited edition variant, called the Signature Edition based on the Titanium variant. Here's a detailed image gallery to help you know more about these new, top of the line variants of the EcoSport.
Majority of the changes have been made to the front end - the Ford EcoSport S grille looks more appealing than the regular EcoSport's chromed unit as it wears a gloss black finish. The EcoSport S also comes equipped with HID headlights that get the popular 'smoked' treatment for the lens. The fog lamps are encased in a black housing that adds to the sportier appearance of the SUV
