More images: EcoSport facelift cabin with large touchscreen

Thanks to BHPian rubicon for sharing these images with other enthusiasts!

The Ford EcoSport facelift has been spied once again. This time we have images that reveal some of the interior details of the car. These include a large touchscreen that sticks out at the top of the centre console and a redesigned steering wheel.

The new spy images suggest that Ford has made changes to the interior of the car. The cabin now looks a lot like that of the Fiesta hatchback that is currently on sale in Europe. The centre console and the tiny monotone display have been replaced. The large touchscreen has a glossy black finish and most of the switches appear to have been integrated into it. The rotary knobs for the infotainment system have chrome inserts. Like the current model, the twin-pod instrument cluster has a small MID in the center. The test mule has an airbag for the front passenger and the rear view mirror of the car has manual day/night adjustment.

Previous spy images have revealed that Ford has made some changes to the exterior of the EcoSport. The car gets a new hexagonal grille with chrome inserts, redesigned headlights and a new bumper. Little has changed at the rear apart from the reworked spare wheel cover. The car also gets a revised set of LED daytime running lights and reshaped fog lamps. It is possible that the car will get new alloy wheels as well.

Ford is yet to confirm the engines that will be available on the EcoSport facelift. However, reports suggest it will be powered by a new 'Dragon' 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine producing around 123-128 BHP. The automatic variant is likely to get paddle shifters.
