Ford EcoSport to Come in Automatic Transmission as well

Ford EcoSport is unquestionably one of the most awaited vehicles of recent times, and it has got all the reasons to get this much attention. It's compact, has got looks to fascinate one and all , and above all, the award-winning EcoBoost engine that promises to return an impressive fuel efficiency without compromising on the power. Now the latest news coming in is about its Automatic variant, till now everybody was expecting the vehicle to just come in the Manual transmission option, but unlike its competitors including the newly launched Renault Duster, the Ford EcoSport might also come in the AT version.

Such a version was spotted doing test runs at places in India, which further gives us a sense of surety, however nothing on the same has been claimed by the company as of now. And If speculations are to be believed, the EcoSport will sport the similar dual-clutch automatic gearbox knows as Powershift, which is the cheapest dual-clutch gearbox in the world.

Ford uses the similar dual-clutch gearbox in its flagship sedan, the Fiesta as well. However, if it happens, the cost of the vehicle would certainly go up, so whether the company launches the AT version initially or bring it after seeing the response, is still a mystery.

And like we reported some days back, Ford India has officially said to launch the vehicle in February 2013. Although, The prices are not announced yet, we are expecting the car to cost between Rs 7-9 lakh. Stay tuned for more updates on the same . Cheers!
