Ford has confirmed that the EcoSport SUV, which was officially introduced at the Auto Expo 2012 in New Delhi, will be coming to ASEAN markets. The vehicle is the third of eight all new global One Ford vehicles destined for the region by around 2015.
Developed by Ford’s Development Center in Camaçari, Brazil, the EcoSport sits on the company’s global B-segment platform, which will provide the basis for a family of vehicles expected to eventually represent two million units annually.
Ford has big plans for the vehicle, and says that the SUV is a significant linchpin in its plans to achieve its goal of increasing worldwide sales by nearly 50% by mid-decade to eight million vehicles a year, of which 60% to 70% of sales is expected to come from the Asia Pacific and Africa region.
No introduction dates have yet been bandied for the EcoSport in the ASEAN market, but the company says that it’ll be produced at Ford Thailand Manufacturing’s facility in Rayong, Thailand.

kia has been a banchmark for future design
Phuaarrr! The front looks like something out of TRON. Don’t know if I can afford to buy this car in 2015. Thailand, which doesn’t have a national car project, is going to produce this baby for ASEAN! Now we can see who are the winners and losers here
why like kia sportage one
fugly.
I dont like Ford car design. Honestly, most of the Ford car design is not really nice. You may click the unlike button. But stop, think again, look back at Ford Mondeo, the design is boring, too plain… For this Ford EcoSport… the rear view looks horrible with a tyre attach to it. It really old design. The front view is just plain boring with no identity & characteristic.
spare tyre @ the back??? aiyyyooo…

When I saw Nissan Juke, I thought nothing will beat its weirdness. Wrong…wait, weird is ok if its beutiful and this is not.
Well, if keep on ‘banjir’ now and then, I supposed this ‘Angry bird’ SUV might be a good choice.
When will the Juke comes? Arggg…
