Ford India has added AUTOCAR magazine's review of the SUV into the Buzz section of the Ecosport page in the Ford website.
Its happy to see that they had taken the review seriously and definitely would have glanced over the price estimation also.[:D]

Nice video, man Hopefully I am making up my mind that if I buy my next car, then definitely it would be a SUV, and not any sedan[:)]. I do not want to listen or care for mileage or maintenance cost this time, but look for only driving pleasure and its look on the road.

But 1.0L engine, with no 4x4 is not called SUV.
But when people can call duster as SUV, I am sure ecosport may also be called SUV. Planning to put spare wheel on i10 boot & then call it Hyundai's India's first mini-SUV...this will be news even to Hyundai. [lol]

A proper SUV is range rover or LC Prado, the cheapest can be pajero. Rest are all MUVs.

BTW, thanks for video raja.

Ford never said Ecosport to be a comple SUV. They says it to be a 'Urban SUV'. We know that its going to create a new segment namely Compact SUV segment. The people who are going to buy it won't be those who want it to do off- roading.[:)]
They might be the group of people who wants an SUV but doesn't want them to be too big. People who wants high seating position, good ground clearance and fatter tires to encounter the potholes of the city roads with ease would opt for the Fords little champion if prices go the fair way.
I do not find any reason or sense in comparing it with the fully capable SUVs like Ranger Rover or Land Cruiser or a pajero as you said. I don't even think that the people who are looking for Safari LX or Scorpio base model (I assume the person to be looking for a rugged SUV) would be satisfied with Ecosport.
Ecosport will have its own audience which would probably be the customers who opt for fully loaded premium hatches and entry level sedans(if prices go the VFM way).

Plus ecosport looks like a suv or hatchback with wheel on the back is purely subjective opinion and everyone are entitled to have one .no need to argue on it

You have just posted what I meant exactly. Really I was looking for a full fledged SUV, and don't need any 4x4 and not keen for off-roading and rest of thing what I wanted is that you have written already here !!

It was designed in brazil and since brazil already had ecosport there since 2004 they planned to release it first there .

Infact the world unveil was done in India by ford .
It will be sold in brazil then china and by next year in India then after 2 years in Europe , australia .and many more countries .

For me, its a superb vehicle. Already started hypnotising my brother to replace our Alto with this as soon as it is launched and if priced sensibly.
