New Ford EcoSport Storm unveiled. The new EcoSport Storm edition is a rugged version of the compact SUV.

The Ford EcoSport Storm edition is available with both petrol and diesel engines. The petrol unit is a 2.0-litre engine which produces 170bhp and 202Nm of torque, while the 2.0-litre diesel engine develops 176bhp and 221Nm of torque. Both the engines come mated to a 6-speed automatic torque converter gearbox which sends power to all four wheels.
Thoughts About The New Ford EcoSport Storm Edition
Ford launched the facelifted EcoSport in India in November 2017, with prices starting at Rs 7.31 lakh. Currently, Ford has not confirmed is the EcoSport Storm edition will be introduced in India. That said, recently the Ford EcoSport Signature edition was spotted testing in India, which could make it to the Indian market.
Even if Ford decides to bring the EcoSport Storm edition to India, the SUV will not feature the powerful 2.0-litre engine, but instead could be powered by the existing 1.5-litre engines which currently powers the new EcoSport facelift; however, the SUV will come with all the cosmetic changes as the Brazilian-spec model.
