Re: Exclusive! Ford EcoSport Makes Global Premiere (Pre-Launch Coverage: Pg.83)
Nice way to keep the buzz going till the launch. Everything seems to be fine except the plastic colour(blue in the lower half of the dash) and quality as compared to the pictures seen before. "Price" matters![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
Thanks 350Z and Raja Bro for the details and photos. My mind started saying its Ecosport (Grey --- Dont Know the technical colour name) Next.

Thanks Raja and 350Z for the pics and the briefing.![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
My fingers still crossed, I thought today most of the doubts would be cleared, but they are not. I am 50-50 still. Based on the pictures and videos from outside Ecosport looks great, but inside I should say I am disappointing![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
. Main turn off is the quality of stuff used and the finish. Plastics looks like my swift. The seats looks like one you buy it in the road side shops. Fiesta seats looks way better!
My observations
* Start stop button.
* 16 Inch wheels.
* 6 Airbags in top end.
* Uncomfortable rear seat for 3 adults(Duster is way better)
* Transmission tunnel obstruction for center rear passenger.
* Lot of cost cutting visible.
I also think that Ford did not prepare well for this great show today. They should have showcased it better. Now for some reason Fiesta looking attractive! Hope the real version comes out with better finish and best pricing. For me it looks like the pricing can not go more than 10Lac to be accepted. But I have not seen it personally so things may change when I do.

The interiors look cheapo. Nothing like seen in Brazilian model (here model refers to ES make, else some may think in different way)![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
.
Seeing some people sitting in driver seat, I think there are 99% chances of me hitting my knees on steering wheel. I assume, the steering won't be reach adjustable.
The absence of rear armrest is ripoff for me. It should have been there atleast in titanium model.
As far as pricing is concerned, some sources told me that diesel 1.5L will be priced around 9L. No idea about petrol.
This must have been done to save transport cost/labour as energy required to move less weight will be less.

If it's telescopic, it is indeed good step, atleast I will check it out.
How I wished steering was telescopic even in Storme.![[sad]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Sad.gif "Sad [sad]")
I would have already booked it as my first truck.

If you watch carefully rear seat of Mumbai display model and Delhi one differ.
Mumbai one have padding protection and where has Delhi one doesn't.
Which clearly indicates that these are rushed up demo vehicles, with after market seat covers. I feel they have incorporated the after market seat covers for demo purpose.
The real feel of interiors/exterior(Engine bay/under body engine protection) can be felt once we get hands on real TD car.

Excellent coverage. First feel of the indian ecosport inside out. The interiors definitely look cheaper than fiesta and as has been pointed out looks like things were hurried for the demo. Seating 3 at the rear definitely seems impossible. Were the cars displayed at both places titanium models?

Seat cover -- Is it after market job? I never find this loosely fitted seat cover in production car.
Interior -- Plastic quality is appearing bad, detailing mistake or ford goes cost cutting spree?
back seat --strictly 2 people, In one of Raja's picture there are 3 people in back seat, all of them touching shoulders, and all of them having average India man build..
None of you guys give engine shots.. Isn't it allowed?
Raja you look really hot dude with this car.. you can ask ford to use you as model..

Keeping those interior quality as side, the rear seat looks to me only for 2-1/2 people and not for 3 and if front seats are pushed back completely then there is hardly any space left for legs(check in that video posted by Indian).
But exterior impress much and car stance is really great. Ford done a good job with its design which looks peppy and stylish which is much better than duster and quanto

Very good coverage Vibhor. Thanks for that.
BTW I heard most of the ford vehicle even the top variant might not have power windows in all four doors. But this has all four power windows.
And also noticed the audio system. By looking to the setup, does that means all variants comes with factory fit audio. why am asking this is the setup looks like that no other audio HU can be fixed there.
