Ford EcoSport now available in showrooms
The Ford EcoSport SUV is now available for viewing and test drives at all Ford showrooms nationwide ahead of its upcoming launch scheduled in a fortnight’s time, with dealers ready to offer special early bird rewards for pre-launch bookings and rebates for existing Ford customers. First 500 customers who place pre-launch bookings will each receive a portable GPS device worth RM799 free of charge.
From an earlier announcement issued ten days ago, Ford has also refined its estimated pricing to between RM95,888 and RM104,888. In contrast to what we reported in our pre-launch drive review, we have now been informed that the EcoSport will be offered with a choice of two variants rather than one.
The two variants will be differentiated only by trim levels, as both will be powered by the new 1.5-litre Ti-VCT engine that was first introduced with the Fiesta facelift last September. Depending on variant, consumers can expect features such as Ford SYNC in-car connectivity with Voice Command, keyless entry, start/stop button, reverse sensors, dual frontal airbags, curtain airbags, ABS, and electronic stability control.
