The current EcoSport sold in the Middle East comes from India, might be the same case with the refreshed model.
It looks like China and India(who will also build the USDM EcoSport) will be the first Asian plants to build the refreshed 2018 EcoSport.

Edit: *StockEngine, did you see it on the official websites of Ford Middle East?

Ford Philippines sources its EcoSports from Ford's Rayong, Thailand plant (which mainly serves markets in South East Asia).
Currently, Ford Philippines only sources vehicles from Thailand and North America.

Any update?

Thanks in advance.

Been planning to try a car restoration project out. Having second thoughts now. The current EcoSport is growing on me; but I'd say the facelift's a better one.

Specs of the 2018 EcoSport's new 1.5-liter Ti-VCT inline-3 engine are out. (Ford China)
Displacement: 1497cc
Power: 88Kw (120PS) * 6500rpm
Torque: 150Nm * 4500rpm
Transmission: 5-speed manual or 6-speed SelectShift Automatic (torque converter)

That's an additional 10PS and 8Nm over the outgoing 1.5-liter Ti-VCT inline-4 engine.

The flex fuel version of the 1.5-liter inline-3 engine for Brazil makes more power.
With gasoline = 130PS, 153Nm of torque
With ethanol = 137PS, 159Nm of torque

that's the new "dragon" engine, right? they say it'll debut w/ the facelifted ecosport. that means it's basically version 1.000

so no thanks i'd still opt for the older sigma engine developed by yamaha

On the bright side the 1.5-liter Dragon Ti-VCT inline-3 adopts proven designs from newer 21st century Ford engines like the integrated exhaust manifold found in the 1.0 & 1.5 EcoBoost and the timing chain of the larger 4-cylinder Duratec engines. (Sigma engines have a timing belt)
