Ford has launched the EcoSport Thunder Edition in India. It is available with both petrol and diesel engine options of the sub-4m SUV with a manual transmission, priced at Rs 10.18 lakh and Rs 10.68 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), respectively.
Based on the Titanium variant, the Thunder Edition is a special edition model which features cosmetic updates including black front grille and rear-view mirrors, dual-tone bonnet and decals on doors. It also features new 17-inch alloys. On the inside, the EcoSport Thunder Edition features dual-tone black and tan brown theme.
As far as features are concerned, they're the same as the Titanium variant, except for the addition of an electric sunroof. Features on offer include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, projector headlamps with DRLs, auto climate control and a reverse parking camera. It is essentially a better-equipped successor of the now discontinued Signature Edition.
The EcoSport Thunder edition is powered by the same 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines like the regular EcoSport. Where the petrol engine makes 123PS of power and 150Nm of peak torque, the diesel unit is good for 100PS and 205Nm. Both the engines are available with a 5-speed MT only.
