There are speculations that Ford is planning to introduce a new generation of the EcoSport model as early as next year.
Since the middle of 2024, images surfaced in India, purported to be copyright registrations of the new Ford EcoSport.
According to the shared images, the new Ford EcoSport will feature a completely transformed design. The front of the vehicle impresses with its wing-shaped formation, complemented by a large grille in the center and sharp headlights on either side.
It is believed that the new Ford EcoSport will utilize a platform borrowed or co-developed with Tata Motors of India. This strategic move will help optimize production costs and reduce the vehicle’s price tag, making it more accessible for developing nations such as India, African countries, and Southeast Asian markets. Consequently, this change also implies that the car will not be marketed towards developed regions such as the USA or Europe.
The new Ford EcoSport is expected to be launched in 2025. However, Ford Vietnam has not yet announced the distribution of this model. The EcoSport was first introduced in the Vietnamese market in 2014, pioneering the segment of compact urban SUVs. Over time, its sales have declined due to the rise of newer competitors such as the Hyundai Kona and Kia Seltos. In 2022, Ford eventually discontinued the EcoSport.
