Now the Ford Ecosport was always a handsome car to look at and even after years it looks pretty nice for its segment. The proportions are on point and that bold front end along with the spare wheel mounted rear is just the right formula for a small SUV. And so Ford hasn't altered that. What's new is that it gets a piano black grille now that looks very butch and has a sleek chrome touch on the outline. The bumper too looks beefier with chunky C-shaped curtains on both ends that incorporate new daytime running lights (DRLs) as well and the fog lamp is nicely integrated. Then, the headlights too get more prominent parking lights and projector beams are retained. The design of the alloy wheels too is new, but look the same 16-inchers.
