Ford Announces Enhanced and Extended EcoSport SUV Line-Up

Ford announced it will deliver a range of styling, drive dynamics and equipment enhancements for the practical and affordable EcoSport. Customers will for the first time be able to order the compact SUV without a rear-mounted spare wheel. Subtle and stylish interior improvements include a restyled instrument cluster with chrome surround, light dimming function, and chrome tips for window switches.

EcoSport driving dynamics benefit from suspension retuning with revised rear twist beam, and revised spring and damper rates for chassis optimisation, a 10mm reduction in ride height and optimised Electronic Stability Control and power steering systems. Convenience and comfort is also enhanced with a Winter Pack – with heated windscreen, heated mirrors and heated front seats.

For vehicles without the spare wheel, the rear swing-gate on EcoSport has also been revised to allow for easier partial opening where space is limited, and all models now feature an EcoSport badge. Inside, the handbrake lever positioning has been optimised for accessibility. Noise, vibration and harshness levels have also been reduced with thicker sound deadening materials in the doors and dashboard, as well as tighter seals around the pedals.

Equipment that will later this year be made available with EcoSport for the first time includes SatNav technology and Rear View Camera.

Making its debut at Geneva, the sporty EcoSport S delivers an insight into the upgrades and equipment for a model that will be available to order towards the end of this year. The model displayed is the first EcoSport with distinctive exterior colour Deep Impact Blue. This is complemented by a black roof without roof rails, mirror caps and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Further exterior upgrades will include a sporty rear diffuser element and privacy glass.

US: New Mustang sells best in red and black
Ford has officially sold the Mustang outside of its native USA for the first time, and the American automaker has recently revealed the top colour choices of their popular pony car. In the States, the bulk of the Mustangs sold are black. In Europe, most of the cars ordered are Red and Absolute Black, whilst in China, up to 35% of customers have specced their cars in Race Red. The all-new 2015 Mustang has proven to be a huge success; roughly 1.1 million Mustangs have been configured online by pony car enthusiasts across Europe, and close to 20,000 consumers in China took the Mustang for a test drive. This could be partly down to the fact that Ford has made the Mustang in RHD for the first time. In its homeland, sales of the Mustang have gone up 32% in February, making it easily the best-selling sports car in America.
