    Perhaps a worthy competitor of the Daihatsu Terio

    Some styling details of the EcoSport came from the Fiesta (which it shares its basic platform with) like the hood cutline, front quarter window panel and similar style-door mounted side mirrors etc.


    Tail lights? The Kuga which was launched in 2007 has similar tail lights and back window/back light shape.

    I hope it gets to our shore soon. Tagal ko na naghihintay sa car na yan. Although i think next year pa to dadating after ford focus. Anyway, for the mechanicals, here's the latest info:


    Mechanicals:

    The wheelbase remains at 2.49 meters, while the width increased to 1.75 meters (two inches) and height dropped from 1.68 to 1.65 meters, including the trunk.

    The length has also been lowered to 4.17 from 4.23 meters.

    It will have 17-inch wheels with 205/55 profile tyres.

    Yes, the Ford EcoSport will also be offered in 4WD variants for all you off-road junkies

    Front wheel drive will have a rigid axle suspension in the hindquarters; the 4 × 4 will have multi-link rear suspension.

    That's probably for the top spec model (same wheel and tire size as the EcoSport concept)


    The other wheel/tire size is 16 inches (according to the Brazilian site that posted the spy photos of the Ecosport, it had 16 inch wheels with Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires)

    For those who saw the article a few days back, it was initially reported to be wearing 15 inch wheels and tires, this was later edited to 16 inches.

    The tire brand/model could vary between regions.

    To be more specific, its similar to the semi-independent (H-shaped) torsion-beam rear suspension as the Fiesta.

    Update: It looks like some studio shots of the EcoSport Concept shows that it has 16 inch wheels on 205/60R16 Maxxis MA-656 tires.



    While some photos (from the actual New Delhi Auto Expo) show it has 17 inch wheels with 205/55ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sport tires, but the alloy wheels use the same design as the 16's in the studio shots.
