Updated compact SUV will be available in five trims, with two engines and two transmission options.

Ford is gearing up to launch its new EcoSport compact SUV on November 9, 2017. The American manufacturer has updated its interiors and exteriors, and it now comes with a new 123hp, 1.5-litre petrol motor from Ford’s new Dragon series of engines. The previous used 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel motor will also be on offer. The engines are expected to be mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, though a six-speed automatic will be available for the top-spec petrol-engine model.
