Ford Ecosport Long Term Ownership Review | 1.5L Petrol Automatic Titanium+ | Positives and Negatives

I own this car since November 2018 and I had an amazing ownership experience except for a few minor complaints.
So I am going to give you a complete long term ownership review for Ford Ecosport with its 1.5L Dragon Series NA engine with the 6-speed Automatic Gearbox. Let's see if it is still relevant among all the competition from Brezza, Nexon, Venue, XUV300 and upcoming Sonet

What about mileage in highways and in City for petrol automatic?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Mileage in city is 7-9kmpl and on highway it is 13kmpl. Not the best in mileage for sure . Though Venue, Nexon petrol automatic will also give similar numbers. Driving with light foot and cruise control helps.

[@ucap6420]

hi what about mileage? there is any mileage difference between bs4 and BS6?

[@ajitkumarp1026]

Nice, informative review. Thanks much. I've two queries though. First,Ford has just called off their JV with Mahindra. Is it good or bad? In the sense will they exit India or stay put? Second, they just announced the launch of 2021 EcoSport ..given query 1 is it safe to consider it?? Lastly, what mileage can be expected of the automatic in city driving. Thanks in advance.

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

So the mileage in city will be 7-9kmpl for Ecosport petrol AT. On highway it will be 13-14kmpl. I feel since Mahindra JV is called off, it is not a bad thing. Mahindra has not been great with their JVs. Each alliance either broke soon or bankrupted the other company. Ssanygong, pininfarina, Mahindra-Renault are examples. Hopefully this should Ford go back to their roots and see what works and what doesn't for them. They are going to stay and have plans to introduce facelifts and new car as well. Ecosport is one of their biggest exports from Chennai Plant so they won't shut operations so easy. As for considering a Ford Car. If you are in a metro city, I will say go for it. The service is really good and you won't face problems 7-8 years down the line. But if you are in a smaller town, tier -2 or 3 cities, do consider how nearby the service center is. That will make or break the experience in long term.

Considering the Petrol price and ES mileage. Is it possible to install CNG kit in ES AT to reduce running cost? What's your pick on it?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

I have seen some users installing CNG in cars like Nexon and Ecosport. I think it won't work with the Ecoboost but with the 1.5L petrol engine should work. Now for manual it is fine albeit it won't give you performance, but the fuel cost would go down significantly. However I am not aware how Automatic transmission will work with it and if there are any other factors which will affect the running.

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Ecosport and Venue both automatic petrol cars will offer similar mileage. With Ecosport I have seen 7-9kmpl in heavy city traffic. 13-14kmpl on highways. If you drive with light foot and use cruise control often then you can extract slightly more from the car. Venue with its DCT will offer similar mileage of 8-9kmpl in city traffic and 14kmpl on highway. In this segment higher mileage is not possible with petrol engine. Even Nexon will give 10kmpl even with AMT.

[@singh13may]

A very comprehensive review. Keep it up buddy. Do suggest if I should buy a Diesel Ford Ecosport Titanium sports or Kia Sonet GT Line in manual transmission??

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hey, thanks a lot for watching. Diesel Ecosport is quite proven in market while Kia Sonet is just entering the market. Ecosport nails the ride, handling with a proven engine and low maintenance cost. Downsides are heavy clutch after 2 years of use, sideways opening tailgate, some blind spots, bottom engine guard falling off in rains etc. Good point about Sports will be that it should get all the bells and whistles in terms of equipment. Another problem is random feature deletions and dealerships randomly closing. The one I bought from closed in 2 years. Sonet however is betting big on creature comforts, giving good infotainment, ventilated seats, air purifier, wireless phone charger, front parking sensors etc so totally feature loaded. The engine seems to have more hp and torque. Kia is also investing heavily on service centers in India. Pricing and driving dynamics I still have to see for myself. But if I was buying today I would definitely wait to drive Sonet before buying.

[@singh13may]

@@AbhishekSinghReviews Well noted, Budd. So I am willing to wait for another month's time till I do a test drive of Sonet.

well explained bro. thanq may i know the AT engine performance n pickup?? this interior is soo good to see..but in 2020 Tit+ AT variant interior comes with biege n black..i didnt like it

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, the AT gearbox and engine combo is really nice and feels ready for heavy duty use and reliable too. I have been using it for 2 years plus have been keeping an eye on forums. Never heard much complaints about it compared to CVT and AMT gearbox. Naturally aspirated engine provides good grunt both in traffic and on highway. On highway it won't be as fast as turbo petrol + DCT, but won't heat up or feel sluggish on slopes or in heavy traffic at all like the latter does. As for interiors, yes for Ecosport I like all black interiors only. Black + Beige highlights the not so premium plastic quality lower down in cabin. Black to an extent hides it.

[@ml.murthyyadav5529]

very honest you are!!! sport mode is just awesome.. what about mileage in sport mode? pls tell me on any type of road can we use this sport mode?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, the mileage certainly takes a hit when it comes to Sports mode. I have seen even 6-7kmpl as instant Fuel Economy at times in Sports mode. Though I have never driven it for extended times to test it with Tank full method. As for roads, it feels great at highways, good at slightly undulated roads, but at slow speeds on really bad roads it won't make sense to use this.

[@t0am1tvats]

I just subscribed...nice review. I own the Titanium At 2019. Great car , the only two things i dont like are uncomfortable bouncy ride for rear passengers...can something be done about it ? Secondly my car was giving decent avg of around 9 to 11 in city before 1st oil change. I was hoping the mileage would further increase. But to my shock mileage decreased to 7 to 8 after the 1st oil change. Is this normal ?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, thanks for subscribing. The suspension is on the hard side. It doesn't really glide over bad roads, and it is a problem with Ecosport. The jerks are transferred to the cabin and rear passengers are not always comfortable. Not much can be done about it. Suspension change is not an option in warranty. Now I haven't tried it, but people have posted on forums that Michelin or Yokohoma tyres are much more soft and provides better grip, reduced road noise and better ride. That won't dramatically improve it but to an extent can help. As for mileage 7-9kmpl is what I have experienced in city and ~13kmpl on highway, but I usually push my car to limits, accelerating it without worrying much about mileage. Ideally mileage should increase after 1st service. That is the norm. But it can also depend on fact that for first 2000kms itbis recommended not to cross 80kmph, or revv the engine too hard. People tend to keep their cars like babies for first few months. Post first service people tend to push there cars more. So that could be one reason. Rest could depend on traffic, fuel quality, etc Maximum I have extracted is 16kmpl on highway with very light foot driving, keeping it within 70-80kmph and frequent use of cruise control.

[@t0am1tvats]

@@AbhishekSinghReviews I recently had a trip in my friend's new creta..and to my surprise the ride quality was equally bouncy if not worse in that too...may be its in the suv character then.

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

@@t0am1tvats yes to an extent. But also depends on suspension setup. The new Creta 2020 unfortunately also has a hard suspension unlike older generation. Ecosport, Venue, Creta, Seltos all have the same issue. Rear seat passengers are not comfortable. I won’t say it’s bouncy but more jerky because of bad roads being felt inside. Bouncy nature is found in vehicles like TUV300, Thar etc because of body on frame built. It goes all over the place. If you go for something like Duster, or a segment higher in Harrier, you will see much better suspension setup and rear passengers won’t be feeling that much issue there. They have much more balanced suspension that does well both on highway and bad roads.

[@jayreddy6832]

Great Review! thinking of buying Ecosport in Q1 2021. Any Idea on next-gen Ecosport or Ecosport Active launch in India?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Thanks a lot for watching. Next gen Ecosport would probably be unveiled next year and be available for Sale in 2022. It hasn’t even been spied testing anywhere yet. That is for sure coming. I feel Active could be a good launch, but they won’t do it. They have added some modifications to suspension, increased ground clearance and added limited slip differential. I feel even if they launched it here, it would be priced much higher than current variants, and compete with Seltos and Creta in pricing, and probably not sell.

[@vickyvarma1719]

Breeza at or EcoSport at petrol or venue DCT or i10 amt or sonet DCT which one is better? Safety , mileage , comfort and service centers

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, I feel every vehicle you listed have their pros cons: i10 AMT: Good for 4 adults, small car , easy and peppy to drive, park, silent engine. Hyundai service is easily available. Negatives are less space, less ground clearance, less boot space and of course AMT which is better than other AMT cars but not as great as other drivetrains in one segment above. Mileage will be better than other options. This will give you 13-14kmpl in city, while all other options will give you 8-9kmpl. Safety wise it is ok. Not the best. Other cars you mentioned are better in safety and almost on par at safety level among each other. Brezza AT: Decent interior space, SUV look, Maruti service and the engine is free revving , and good to drive. However AT is 4 speed so will be good in city traffic but not best on highway. It might feel a little out of breath compared to 6 speed automatic gearbox options in Sonet and Ecosport. Ecosport: best in driving dynamics hands down. Positives and Negatives are in this video. Only issue I see is slightly dated looks, deletion of some features, and less service Centers in Mumbai. Sonet DCT: most feature loaded in this list. Good looks, great engine, fast shifting gearbox. Only issue is DCT gearboxes tend to heat up in back to back traffic, and the interior space feels cramped. Venue DCT issues are exact same as Sonet albeit with lesser features. The DCT in venue comes in SX variant and not SX(O) so lacks many features even compared to Ecosport I won’t recommend Brezza. If you need reliable and tough car with decent features, and fuzz free experience, Ecosport is good, my problem with Ford is less service Centers. If you want features, performance and service availability, go for Sonet or Venue. I will prefer Sonet among two Only if you need a small car for a small family without much worry for performance or interior space, then you can go for i10 AMT.

Is it about exosport or automatic performance?

[@rajneeshplp]

Hi Abhishek. Interesting and refreshing take at reviews and compelled to ask my dilemma. I have booked Sonet iMT and they are long waiting time. While I'm tempted at the clutchless gear idea I'm certainly not convinced of are robustness of the very. And ES tit + is tempting me but for a poor mileage. It's robust, tested and reliable. What do I do Abhishek??

[@rajneeshplp]

I'll go crazy deciding, and so will the dealers and family

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

@@rajneeshplp hey, thanks for watching. I understand it is a big dilemma. So here is my take on it and I will only consider these two vehicles first. Sonet iMT: looks really great, fancy with all features, fab engine and iMT which will let you choose your own gear shifts. Since it’s not very different from Manual, should be decently reliable. Kia is also investing a lot in service Centers so that is also good. Mileage will be around 12kmpl in city realistically. Now I sat in Sonet and I liked it but didn’t love it for some reasons. First the look from far was like a hatchback and interior space for some reason felt even more cramped than Ecosport. I personally like a more clean interface of dashboard than big screens and tonnes of buttons. Also Seltos recently tested 3 star in GNCAP, and I am quite sure Sonet will be same. So moving to Ecosport, checks all my boxes, feels rock solid, comes with 6 airbags and has a proven engine, robust gearbox and would be my preference only the issue is features that are deleted. So now Tit+ doesn’t come with leather seats, sync3, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Ford MyKey, Cargo Management system. Only good thing is the recent models will come with Android screens so atleast you will get Android Auto for latest manufactured vehicle. Service Centers will be lesser than Hyundai and Kia. So the enthusiast in me says Ecosport still but not sure if it still justifies the price. If you want peace of mind and love driving, buy Ecosport. Mileage will be less around 8-9kmpl in city but can be increased with light foot driving and using cruise control. Also you get paddle shifters which are quite cool. But if you feel the family would prefer features and looks over driving feel, then Sonet is a good car too. For mileage in Sonet you can look at Diesel AT, if you are open to it. My only concern would be safety, as this would also probably be a 3 star rated vehicle like Seltos.

[@subhendupal8966]

Sir.. in your opinion which is better between EcoSport titanium AT versus venue dct

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi Subhendu, if I will list down positives and negatives and then tell you my pick. Venue DCT: Positives: The gearbox is really fast shifting and overall performance in Highway will be great. Hyundai's after sales service is great and available everywhere. The connected car tech is great. Negatives: DCT heats up in back to back traffic. Long term reliability is yet to be seen. Hard suspension, steering lacks feel and feedback. No 60:40 rear seats, sunglass holder, rear wiper. Looks more like a hatchback. Ecosport AT: Positives: Gearbox is good and more reliable. Isn't as fast as DCT but does it's job pretty well. Suspension is hard but car feels rock solid on bad roads. Gives you rear wiper, 60:40 split seats. Proven engine. Good road presence. Negatives: Ford keeps deleting features. Doesn't get Apply CarPlay, Android Auto or Sync3 system as it was earlier. Ford's service network is limited. Sideways opening tailgate is an issue. Resale value won't be as great as Venue. Personally I think.i would still prefer Ecosport because despite some feature deletions car is rock solid and drives much much better. However you should keep the above positives and negatives in mind and decide. 😊

[@nirajsorte]

I have same model of Ford Ecosport bought in Feb 2018 which has company fitted Bridgestone R17 tyres. I have faced ture burst issue in 2019 and recently within a span of 15 days, two tyre burst issues. As my vehicle is in warranty, Ford is replacing my tyres. But while searching for this issue on Google, I have found that its the issue with R17 tyres as they are not suitable for Indian roads and should have 16 inch tyres. Any idea about this issue? It will be very helpful for me if you have any information about this issue, as Ford is not accepting this fact, although all of their past n future Ecosport variants have 16 inch tyres.

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, yes you are right. The 17 inch alloys came with the Bridgestone Ecopia tyres which were the main culprit. So there are 2 pieces to it. One is the 17 inch alloys which look good but paired with hard suspension and low profile tyre on bad Indian roads, it's not wise. Ford being Ford instead of outright acceptance of the fact they removed it from Titanium+ models and replaced with 16 inch alloys with higher profile tyres of Good year. It's still continued in S models. Thank god I got 16 inch in my car. The ride is good for sure. Second piece of problem is the Ecopia tyres which themselves are not good. Low profile tyres causing issues on bad roads and also prone to sidewall damage. Many people have resorted to switching alloys which is quite expensive or switching to Yokohoma or Michelin tyres with bigger sidewall and have reported better ride and comfort. Prices will vary for those options. I can't 100% recommend any option as I personally haven't done these but those are the only ways to solve this apparently.

[@JRT1980]

Now all of the ecosport models are coming with 16 inch tyres only. Now there are no issues. Now MRF and Good Year tyres are coming from the factory.

Titanium plus 2018 model of yours was a wise purchase that time with all bells and whistles. You bought 16 inchers was a crack on deal. 17 inchers have been stopped. Now I believe Titanium plus BS6 has less features

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Yes very true. I feel lucky I bought it right on time. Just 3 or 4 months after they started deleting features in Titanium+ model like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Leather seats, puddle lamps, Ford MyKey, Cargo management system just to add a sunroof which is weird. Today in 2020 I don't know even with its great driveability I would have bought it with many standard features been removed

What's manual transmission mileage bro?

[@pankajyadav-uo3jm]

Truly reviews..👍

[@ml.murthyyadav5529]

what is that behind dash board? is it a woofer or just a speaker??

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, it's just a speaker. Not a sub woofer. 😊

[@mohitbhandari8020]

How does this car perform in hills? Is it worth enough taking to say places like lahaul spiti?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

It performs flawlessly. 1.5L Dragon engine is punchy and also Naturally aspirated so there is no turbo lag at lower RPMs. Manually it will do its job very well. Even for the automatic, the transmission does a great job of downshifting when needed on its own. I did not have to manually downshift using paddle shifters ever. Hill hold also works great. Now if you want Automatic, torque converters are not as fast but will definitely be better than DCT in Venue/ Sonet in terms of rough use and driving in hilly areas. There is no comparison to AMT or CVT. The suspension is on the harder side so don't expect it to glide over bad roads like Duster. It will certainly handle those rough terrains but you will feel bumps inside cabin.

[@sachinchawla4514]

Does 2018 have Hill control feature ?

[@PavanMS87]

I'm confused between this and Aspire, can you help me decide please. (Both diesel).

[@-_KK_-]

Mai bhi pehle aspire lene ka socha tha but echosport dekhne ke baad aspire bhul gya mai

Is petrol engine ka real mileage kya hai city and highway par

[@man4mpluto]

Hi..... i am planning to buy ecosport trend petrol , however reviews show mileage of 8 -10km/ltr for city driver. Share your experience on this. What are service charges Any other sub 4mtr model you can suggest for CITY driving....

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, yeah that is true. For automatic petrol the mileage is 7 to 9 kmpl in city traffic, around 10-11kmpl for manual, and 13-14kmpl on highway. This is something we live with knowing it’s a safe car and the driving experience is top notch, and that is only reason why people buy this car. Dragon engine is absolute gem. Petrol engines in this sub 4m segment are not very fuel efficient and give approx same mileage. Since you mentioned trend Petrol, it means you are not specifically looking for automatic. In that case I will recommend Tata Nexon XMA. It will be an amazing car with great interiors, features and safety. I would say, see if you can try Diesel Nexon. It will be much more fun plus fuel efficient. There is venue and Sonet as well but they have hard suspensions, and not so great steering feedback as Ecosport or Nexon.

[@InsideOutAutomobile]

Hello, Yes in petrol with 1.5 Ltr engine you will get mileage around 10-12 in city with manual and on highway you can get 12-14. but with AMT its 10-11 in city and on highway 11-13.

[@abbu51]

great and detailed review. I am also planning for ecosport, I am 6 footer and new to driving, which will be the best choice for me petrol AT or diesel manual. If AT which is value for money varient titanium or titanium .

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Since you are new to driving you have 2 choices. One is to learn Manual or start with Automatic and slowly learn Manual. Now diesel is not a bad option because it has good torque and you don't have to keep switching to 1st gear all the time. The mileage would be great and the engine is reliable too. Petrol automatic is great for convenience. It offers hill assist, paddle shifters and sports mode so you don't miss out on fun driving automatic. Only negatives are low mileage around 7-9kmpl in heavy traffic, and the automatic is not as fast as Venue DCT, but is certainly more reliable than those. Between Titanium and Titanium+ I would say Titanium+. The additional money is well worth the added safety and features. The newer models will also have the infotainment running on android so my previous complaint of android Auto and Apple CarPlay being removed from Titanium+ in 2019 is partially solved.

[@abbu51]

@@AbhishekSinghReviews . Thank you very much. which will be the best choice in AT in 10 -14 L on road. 80-20 city and highway. please share your views.

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

@@abbu51 I feel all the petrol automatics have one common flaw of poor mileage. In petrol automatic with that problem i would still choose Ecosport automatic over DCT options because I feel more confidence about reliability of Torque converter over DCT. But coming back to issue of mileage. While I don't believe in having a car solely for fuel efficiency, still it starts to pinch after a year or 2 with petrol automatic options in this segment. If same options were available to me in 2018, I would have seriously considered Sonet HTK Plus Diesel AT, with decent features and diesel engine paired with a torque converter. I don't like AMTs in such expensive cars like Nexon or XUV300, and Ecosport, Venue, Brezza doesn't have diesel automatic options. Sonet is the only one offering a good engine + automatic combo.

[@abbu51]

@@AbhishekSinghReviews htk plus is a good option in diesel automatic, but we have to compromise on safety. In your opinion which one will be good car for beginners.

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

@@abbu51 I feel as a beginner you won’t be driving that much. Ideally Petrol makes more sense. If you have a hectic schedule and just want a car for convenience buy Petrol automatic for which I would recommend Ecosport AT. If you want convenience of AT but still want to better control your car and choose your gears on your own, venue iMT could be the better option. The fuel efficiency would be slightly better too. For manual diesel nothing better than Nexon. I won’t look at anything else apart from Nexon, not even XUV or Ecosport. Now just in case you are inclined not only towards only SUVs and open to try compact sedans, Honda Amaze is not bad. Got good practicality and the CVT is really smooth. I loved both petrol and Diesel CVT. Has more boot space too. If you can compromise on ground clearance, than not a bad option which comes at a cheaper price tag too.

[@gajananrenguntwar7483]

Sir,I heard ecosport Automatic has weak brakes.and it has A pillar blind spot issue.

[@dr.saptarshichakraborty2212]

Very well made video brother. Do you think the BS6 Trend diesel is still a good purchase in 2020?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

I think it is still relevant and great purchase. However there are few things that works against it as well. If you are out for having a driver's car with great performance and handling, it is superb and won't disappoint you. But for a little more price you can evaluate Nexon XM Diesel, which is more spacious and will come with more features too. Ecosport diesel also has long term issue of hard clutch. So before finalizing I will recommend to check Nexon Diesel XM because their ride quality and steering is not bad either.

[@sambaranbharat]

I have aspire automatic with same dragon engine same gearbox.. getting 12 in city 16+in high ways. But i must say car is fantastic to drive in day time. At night due to its poor head lights i lose some confidence specially rainy nights.. still best infotainment system . Very ordinary instrument cluster n mid..

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hey, thanks for reminding me about the headlights. I might make a separate video on just that issue. I don't know why many manufacturers provide such bad stock headlights in cars. Driving in rainy nights in ghats with stock headlamps of Ecosport is scary as hell. And yeah that MID seems like some highschool kid designed it.

[@coolperson6143]

@Abhishek Singh Please make current titanium plus automatic and nexon automatic comparison 2021 model, does titanium plus automatic 2021 has sunroof now and rear ac and side and curtain airbag, please suggest the best automatic car below 13 lakh on Road Price Which is the best mileage wise and SAFETY FEATURES wise best automatic within 13-15lakh on Road. I had heard the front Seats are not comfortable for long rides in comparison to nexon , do you get very tired on front or rear seat and 3 people can't seat and back?

[@ldm0202]

Sir, I want to know about the mileage you are getting from your Ecosport as it is an automatic petrol?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, it is 7-9kmpl in heavy traffic in Mumbai. In normal city commute I get 10kmpl and on highway roughly 14kmpl.

[@InsideOutAutomobile]

Hello, Yes in petrol with 1.5 Ltr engine you will get mileage around 10-12 in city with manual and on highway you can get 12-14. but with AMT its 10-11 in city and on highway 11-13.

[@somanathnayak4279]

Brother, what is the mileage that you get with this 1.5L engine and AT gearbox?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

I usually get 8-10kmpl in city and 13-14kmpl in highway. Best case is 16kmpl if you drive on highway with light foot and use Cruise Control very often.

[@rohansgalaxy]

@@AbhishekSinghReviews is this similar with current EcoSport automatic titanium variant?

[@phanindrapalagummi6142]

what is the mileage you saw in city and highways for petrol automatic

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Hi, the mileage in city is 8-9kmpl and on highway it is 13-14kmpl and can increase depending on light foot driving and use of cruise control

[@kkcgrk7933]

Hi Brother, Please suggest Ecosport - petrol or diesel version?

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Both have their own pros and cons. Diesel Ecosport gives great mileage and a proven reliable Diesel engine with punchy performance. The downsides are hard clutch after a year or two of usage, no automatic option and also the torque is not class leading. For manual diesel options there are other similar or slightly better offerings in the segment like xuv300 or nexon. If the monthly running is 2000kms or more it is a great choice. For petrol I personally love the Dragon series Naturally aspirated engine. It comes with an automatic option as well and I still believe even in 2020 it's the best Petrol automatic considering Indian road conditions. The downside is bad mileage. It is quite horrible in Indian city traffic, at max giving you 9-10kmpl. Else it's a great choice for city and highway. If monthly running is not that high go for petrol.

What is Adv milage sir

[@SaddamHussain-us8it]

Sir 2013 modal dessal -70 hajar chali Hui 4, lak 75 hajar me lu ya nahi please reply

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Car acchi to kaafi hai. But running 70k kms hai jo thoda Jyada hai. 50000 km se neeche hota better hota. Ecosport me ek issue hai hard clutch ka. Kuch saal ki running me diesel Ecosport ka clutch hard feel hone Lagta hai. Aur jo 2013 ka starting batch tha Ecosport ka usme indicator aur wiper k controls steering k ulte side rehte hain. Wiper right me aur indicator left me. Baki insurance aur maintenance ka price bhi high hota hai used cars me. Agar Lena hai to mujhe lagta hai 4 lac me Lena chahiye. Aap chahe to old Duster bhi check kar sakte ho. Ho salta hai same range me mil jaye. Usme space aur ride comfort better hoga.

Already Booked ecosport titanium diesel, which is costing me 11 lacs after discount on road, most probably it will be delivered after lockdown but confused with seltos hte diesel base model which costs me around 12.30 + after mkt expenses in base model.. Ecosport titanium me features kaafi hai, but seltos me remote locking Bluetooth 2 din music system ect. Yahi sab milega space and road presence jyada better hai. To dono me konsi leni chahiye apke hisab se

[@say2merohit]

Ecosport

[@yohannirani9431]

What fuel average are you getting in city?... I'm getting a horrible 8.5 km/ltr.

[@AbhishekSinghReviews]

Yohann Irani I know I understand in city and with heavy traffic it’s a joke. Even for me it is 8-10kmpl in city. It’s a heavy car and Torque converter is not exactly helping the case. If you have a few open stretch of roads on your daily commute, you can try driving with light foot and with cruise control as much as possible. I do that and it does help fuel economy. It’s definitely not fun though. I have only done it as an experiment
