Took delivery of Ecosport titanium petrol yesterday, was a good experience with Patson Ford belgaum, queries were answered promptly and personal attention given on each visit. The manager Mr Shiv Shankar and the SA Nilesh were most helpful in making the process smooth and trouble free.

The car feels wonderful to drive, have yet to put it through its paces.

the carpets provided as part of the essential kit is lacking and will be changing it soon to noodle mats.
Auto lock is a glaring issue which is worrying because the fuel lid is also left unlocked if you forget to lock the car manually while driving.

Sync is a breeze to operate, call reception is excellent, I feel the sound system lacks bass, will be trying to rectify that soon.
Struggling to find a good seat position for my driving

Black is a dust magnet, all the more aggravated by the construction nearby but it's a stunner to look at!
MID looks dated with the dot matrix font and too cluttered.

Steering feels wonderful too hold but found the cover around the handbrake too plastic like and not in standard with the other fittings.

Will be planning a visit to 3M car care soon for PPF and underbody coating.

Overall loved the car, will have to plan a trip soon as the wifey want to go for a long trip

Hello there!

Went on quick drive on the weekend.

Auto-lock is not there, I tried various methods suggested by Ford in the video and tried the settings. It doesn't work. One has to press the lock button.

Apologies. There is no autolock feature. I read it somewhere and checked the video as well.

On a trip this weekend, tried setting it on through a video which suggests Autolock ON-OFF in Ford vehicles. This turned out to be sheer disappointment.

Apparently for some it's there, I think Ford has added this recently..

That's amazing for what is a 5 year old car that's not from Maruti stable. What a comprehensive facelift by Ford !
A Maruti Ecosport would have left Ford Brezza in dust in sales numbers.

Guys need a help
Can anyone let me know exactly the water wading capacity of the ecosport? any manual or documentary details for the same.

It is 500 mm. It was covered in the initial reviews of the Ecosport when it was launched. Apparently, it has some clever engineering including a raised intake. It is the highest of all cars in the segment and probably the segment above. Duster at 400 mm is less. I had practical experience of this during the Chennai floods, where it navigated over a foot of water for extended durations with no problems.

Ecosport's water wading capacity is 550mm, having said that it's not purpose built for water, so frequent water wading will result in it's parts getting damaged prematurely.

1) Extended Warranty: Ford is providing EW till 5th year. For petrol AT (I've booked Trend+ AT) 3rd year EW costs ₹9000 and 3rd+4th year combo EW costs ₹13900 as per their website. 5th year EW is not mentioned in the website, but got to know from dealer and other buyers that 3rd+4th+5th year combo EW costs ₹23800. I know maximum available EW will provide peace of mind. Is it advisable to take EW till 5th year or is it fine if opted for lesser years? I am asking this because of the curious scenario mentioned below.

Did you opt for 4th+5th year Extended Warranty and how much did it cost?
I got the 3rd year warranty free under Corporate discount and wish to purchase the warranty for maximum possible years.

I am yet to get delivery of the car. I am getting 3rd year EW free as corporate discount. I checked with Ford customer care about additional amount to be paid for getting 4+5th EW. As per them it'll cost ₹15438 for petrol AT. You can check with your dealer and purchase it.

Hi, I got the Lightning Blue Ecosport Trend Petrol delivered on 14th March and have driven around 950 kms till date. Recently started noticing that the Touchscreen is getting very hot to touch, it is exposed to direct sunlight on its back for about 20-25 mins. Is this normal or should I get it checked at the FASS?
would love to hear your views and opinions.

Noticed that your car has auto-locking enabled. Could you let me know what the date of manufacture of your car is? Thanks.

I came across this post on facebook:

In this age of manufacturers deleting features, seems too good to be true.

EcoSport prices have been hiked again, but this time with added features! New prices are already updated on Ford's website. Last I checked few minutes back, I was not able to download the brochure, so hopefully that's getting updated too. Many people on Facebook have confirmed with their dealers about the updated features, so we might be seeing the updated variants in upcoming deliveries.
