However, a few reports published in the recent weeks, claim that the EcoSport will be a Fiesta based SUV.

Taking into consideration the Fiesta platform, the Ecoboost SUV will possibly be available in only front wheel drive option, not carrying an all wheel drive option.

As far as the design of the vehicle is concerned, the EcoSport will be blessed with Ford's next generation, 'Kinetic' design language.

This is the same design signature which will be seen in the Ford upcoming products like Fiesta, Focus and Kuga compact SUV (coming in March 2012).

Moreover, the model is likely to be less than 4 meters in length, making it qualify for the lesser excise duty segment in the Indian market.
