Speculation: Ford EcoSport Might Start at Rs 5.95 Lakh in India

Update: EcoSport has been launched at Rs 5.69 Lakh. Check Launch Details 
If this is true then this price corresponds to the base EcoSport Ambiente variant with the 1.5L TiVCT petrol mill which it shares with the new Fiesta. EcoSport 1.5L petrol produces 112PS of peak power output
and a maximum torque of 140Nm.
The base Ambiente variant will be available for 1.5L petrol and 1.5L diesel whereas the 1.0L EcoBoost will only come in the top 2 Titanium trims .
Going by the slideshot that was shared earlier, we can expect the 1.5L Ambient variant with the following features:
  • Front Power Windows (Rear ones will be manual)
  • Electric Power Assisted Tilt and Telescopic Steering
  • Front Power Source (No rear source)
  • 15 inch steel wheels with wheel covers (No 16″ inchers and without alloy wheels)
  • Body colored bumpers
  • Remote Central Locking
  • Electric ORVMs with turn indicators
  • Audio System with Radio, Aux-in, USB and bluetooth
In short, even the base variant seems to be sufficiently loaded and comes with a lot of features that others might not have offered at this price tag. At 5.95 Lakh, EcoSport will be a direct threat to all the premium hatchbacks as well as compact sedans in its segment.
For our complete coverage on EcoSport, 
In an interesting but UNCONFIRMED development, sweet murmurs of a Rs 5.95 Lakh starting price tag for Ford EcoSport have reached our ears. 
This speculative news comes from one vendor which supplies Ford a lot of vital compenents for EcoSport and possibly a few other cars as well. This is in line with the expectations and Ford’s promise of pricing the EcoSport at a competitive price tag.
