No Changes at the Rear
If spy shots are to be believed, the Eco Sport 2021 will not be incorporating any major changes at the back and will continue to rock its classy and evergreen rear design with a tailgate-mounted spare wheel onboard.

New Interiors
Even though reports suggest that the Eco Sport would not undergo an interior update, we still expect the facelift to arrive with a bigger 8-inch floating touch infotainment, with Apple Car Play and Android Auto connectivity. There can also be an inclusion of a wireless charger inside.

New Platform
If reports are to be believed, the 2021 Ford Eco Sport will be designed on the modified avatar of the existing Eco Sport’s B3 platform. It will be the first B architecture that will be developed by Ford’s global product development process. In its modified iteration the B3 platform is likely to get more robust than the existing one.

No Changes Under the Hood
Unlike the exteriors, the Ford Eco Sport Facelift will continue to be powered by the same engine as in the pre-lift model. This means that it will be powered by a BS6 compliant 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine (122 PS/149 Nm). This engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter. It also gets a BS6 compliant 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel (100 PS/215 Nm) with a 6-speed manual gearbox only.
