Much has been said about Ford's upcoming compact SUV, the EcoSport ever since it was first showcased in Concept form at the 2012 Auto Expo in New Delhi. And with barely just a month remaining before the newest urban SUV hits the Indian market, Ford India is leaving no stone unturned in creating maximum buzz towards its EcoSport in the SUV-loving market. 

After announcing a fresh new contest called EcoSport Discoveries on the 1st of March, the winner of which will get to drive home a brand new EcoSport, Ford India announced a public unveiling of the urban compact SUV that got underway today at Mumbai's Infinity Mall in Malad.

At the moment, the Ford officials as expected remain tight lipped regarding the launch date and the pricing of the new EcoSport. However, other details that have come to light is that the compact SUV will be offered in four trim levels, eight colour options and three engine options, which includes the 1.0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged engine and the 1.5-litre diesel and petrol engines that currently does duty in the Fiesta sedan. All three engines will come mated to a 5-Speed manual gearbox and the 1.5-litre petrol unit will also be offered with an option of a 6-Speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

If you too, wish to meet the EcoSport in flesh, then head to the popular shopping mall in Malad West, where the model has been put on display and will remain so until March 17, 2013.
