Hey guys,
Here's a vid of the upcoming Ecosport CUV due to be released in Australia next year. It features Ford's new1.0L Ecoboost engine. I think it looks quite good, and if it becomes available with AWD or 4WD, I may consider it down the track. If the Titanium model is priced sensibly ($20-23K drive away), I think Ford Aus will sell quite a few of these. http://youtu.be/cnvqp2NzCiE http://youtu.be/jldgcM6RjYQ What do you guys think of it?

It looks quite nice, its a good market to get into here in Australia since everyone seems to be favoring SUV.
Is it a SUV Fiesta? Has the same dash. |

Yeah, the grey, blue and black coloured ones look quite nice; not a fan for the 'Mars Orange'.
I think this one is going to be built on the Fiesta platform and the new Escape is going to be built on the Focus platform. It seems to have decent ground clearance and if an AWD version is available, I think it'll be a fun little car to take off-road. |

But thats the way they design now, every design studio across the world they have has design input into every model they do, a way of sharing ideas and concepts to create a larger pool of potential options. Makes sense. The 2014 Mustang is also supposed to have a bit of input from FoA's designers. |
