Srinagar- In a glittering ceremony, Auto Wings Ford—an authorized dealer of Ford India Pvt Ltd—launched the Ford’s special edition of ECOSPORTS SE at its corporate office Baghi-Hyder Hyderpora byepass on Saturday.
The car was launched by the chief guest, SDPO Azhar Rashid, along with Ashiq Hussain Wani, Managing Director Auto Wings Ford Pvt Ltd, Azhar Majid Mir, Director, Auto Wings Ford Pvt Ltd, in presence of top management and huge gathering of customers and dignitaries.
Speaking on the occasion, Younis Bashir, General Manager Auto Wings Ford Pvt Ltd, said, “We are extremely delighted by the launch of Ford EcoSport SE which is special edition of Ford Ecosports, as Ford EcoSport is one of the most popular compact SUVs we have in India.”
The special edition comes with the upgraded features. It is available in both petrol and diesel engine options.
“As we have always seen the EcoSport with its signature tailgate-mounted spare wheel, however, there is no spare wheel at all in the EcoSport SE. Also, the rear bumper has a dual-tone finish. The customers will get a tyre puncture repair kit with the new variant as well,” Younis Bashir said.
The current guidelines allow an automaker to sell an M1 category passenger vehicle without a spare wheel if it is equipped with features like tubeless tyres, tyre puncture repair kit and TPMS.
The passenger vehicles weighing 3.5 tonnes or less, and having a seating capacity of up to nine individuals are included in the M1 category.
The EcoSport SE has also features like the chrome front grille, electric sunroof, satin aluminium roof rails, 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic AC with heater, rear-view camera, emergency brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control system and hill launch assist.
The EcoSport SE also gets additional equipment in the form of HID headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, Ford MyKey, SYNC 3 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, electrochromic IRVM, 60-40 split rear seat, six airbags, TPMS and cruise control.
So far as the engine options are concerned, the EcoSport SE gets a 1.5-litre TiVCT petrol unit making 122PS of maximum power and 149Nm of peak torque, and a 1.5-litre TDCi diesel unit belting out 100PS of maximum power and 215Nm of peak torque.
Both the mills are mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. There is no automatic transmission option though.
While EcoSport SE Petrol MT carries a price tag of Rs 10.49 lakh, EcoSport SE Diesel MT is worth Rs 10.99 lakh
