Mileage in city is 7-9kmpl and on highway it is 13kmpl. Not the best in mileage for sure . Though Venue, Nexon petrol automatic will also give similar numbers. Driving with light foot and cruise control helps.

A complete review guide for a buyer. Great video sir 👍🏻 Can't believe you dont have even 500 subs. This is one of the most underrated things I have ever seen.
Nice & True Review 👍👌 Im Proud Owner of Ford ECOSPORT Titanium Plus Top Model Automatic 🔥🔥 Since One Year Fun To Drive, Safety,Stability Best.. ABS,EBD comes in All Car.. BUT Break Assist, Traction Control, ESP,Hill Hold Control, 6 Airbags,Best Ride Handling,200 mm Ground Clearance, Sunroof Too... Rough & Tough,Confident Drive Anywhere, Anytime Will Make u Smile Always It's Not For those who want Average Only My Car In PUNE =City 10, Highway 13-14 But DRIVING PLEASURE will make u to forget Average..
Very true. Every time I drive this car it puts a huge smile on my face. Despite several shiny new toys have been released in market since last 2 years, never did I feel that I made a mistake in buying this.
A really well made video. I had the exact same requirements, same shortlist but I'm 6'1 and drive with 4 people most of the time, so chose Jazz finally. Sacrificed power for space, refinement and CVT automatic vs AMT.
I have seen some users installing CNG in cars like Nexon and Ecosport. I think it won't work with the Ecoboost but with the 1.5L petrol engine should work. Now for manual it is fine albeit it won't give you performance, but the fuel cost would go down significantly. However I am not aware how Automatic transmission will work with it and if there are any other factors which will affect the running.
Thanks sir appreciate your hard work and time put in..Recently i have been offered an ecosport 2017 model 25k driven so far for around 5.6 lac m based in mumbai too im keen to buy this but my major concern would be about service center (1 is in kalina which is shifting to kurla in 2 months) so considering veerything mostly the service center and availability of parts ..can you please advice should buy i no and this would be my first car hence dont wish to spend more for compact suv .
Titanium plus 2018 model of yours was a wise purchase that time with all bells and whistles. You bought 16 inchers was a crack on deal. 17 inchers have been stopped. Now I believe Titanium plus BS6 has less features
Yes very true. I feel lucky I bought it right on time. Just 3 or 4 months after they started deleting features in Titanium+ model like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Leather seats, puddle lamps, Ford MyKey, Cargo management system just to add a sunroof which is weird. Today in 2020 I don't know even with its great driveability I would have bought it with many standard features been removed
Kindly advise how’s emergency breaking performance in Ford ecosport automatic as compared to manual? How’s does vehicle perform under panic breaking conditions? Pls reply

Thanks a lot for watching. Next gen Ecosport would probably be unveiled next year and be available for Sale in 2022. It hasn’t even been spied testing anywhere yet. That is for sure coming. I feel Active could be a good launch, but they won’t do it. They have added some modifications to suspension, increased ground clearance and added limited slip differential. I feel even if they launched it here, it would be priced much higher than current variants, and compete with Seltos and Creta in pricing, and probably not sell.
Can you shift to sports mode while car is moving or have to stop first. No tyre pressure monitor automatic transmission is torque converter you said. Is that cvs?
Dear Sir It was sure an education reading all your replies.I hv to make a choice among the automatic transmission for basically city drive with less run,solo driver who loves driving .Budget 13-14 lakh.Engine power not less than 1.5 l or 1.0l turbo. Pls help me make a choice among the following: 1.City VCVT 2.Sonet GTX plus 3.Ford Ecosport petrol AT Titanium 4.Toyota Yaris Should I wait for Honda ZRV 1.5 l 2021 Didn't like Venue ,too clinical n cab like.Owns Verna 1.6 vtvt since 9 yrs. Appreciate an early reply . Thanking you in anticipation.
Thanks for watching my video. It is quite an interesting short list. 1. Honda city is more from comfort and luxury feel. If you have good roads, and occasional need for carrying 5 people , one of the better choices. It has got great engine, though CVT dulls the performance a bit, but will be smooth in city driving . Got good features, tonnes of leg room and boot space. Will also be mode fuel efficient than other petrol automatics like Sonet and ES. Only negative is CVT is not so performance oriented at highway speeds, and low ground clearance 2. I am assuming you are talking about Sonet Petrol DCT. It won’t be that comfortable. The interiors does feel cramped. Even more so than Ecosport. The dashboard looks quite busy. Good part is tonnes of features, infotainment system, ventilated seats, front parking sensors, navigation, Bose speakers etc, suspension is hard so not exactly great for bad roads. Also while DCT is fast shifting, it tends to heat up in back to back traffic if you get stuck for 30min or more and especially on slopes 3. Ecosport has one of best engine + gearbox combo. Torque converter is not exactly faster than DCT, but is better than CVT and more reliable than DCT. Space is decent. Rear seat is not so wide though. The automatic version titanium plus in 2020 lacks many features like sync3, android auto, apple carplay, leather seats, alloy pedals, ford mykey, puddle lamps etc which my 2018 model had. So while driving dynamics are sorted and probably the best, still the features seems to be too less 4. Toyota Yaris is good but not impressive in any way. I would go for Honda City than Yaris. Only Real positives against Honda City would be built and reliability Honda ZRV sounds interesting but my only concern is they should launch an automatic. They failed to do so with WRV. I think they get stuck because it starts competing with Honda city at same price range. Hopefully they don’t do so with ZRV
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Thank you so much for a comprehensive reply.So to sum up shall I settle with Ford Ecosport AT petrol Titanium model or City Vcvt ?
@@vaishalidevare437 yes. I will say test drive both these one more time. Possibly with a friend so they can point out anything that you may be missing. These are possibly the best sedans and CSUV when it comes to driving dynamics. Features yes, others may offer more. For Honda city consider other things also like bad roads, or parking space since it’s a long vehicle. And for Ford I will suggest see how many service Centers are around you. I am facing trouble in Mumbai atleast. Only 3 available that too they are not very nearby and are almost always packed. Mileage also for Ecosport would be 7-9kmpl in city.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Precisely my point and that is where am stuck ! Am too based in Mumbai .2 strong points discouraging me against City are water clogging due to extended rains here and the moreover 5 th gen City has increased the length and the width Anyways thank you so much for devoting so much time trying to solve my doubts ! You sure are an asset as a vlogger attending to personal queries without bias ! Thank you n God bless !

I just subscribed...nice review. I own the Titanium At 2019. Great car , the only two things i dont like are uncomfortable bouncy ride for rear passengers...can something be done about it ? Secondly my car was giving decent avg of around 9 to 11 in city before 1st oil change. I was hoping the mileage would further increase. But to my shock mileage decreased to 7 to 8 after the 1st oil change. Is this normal ?
Hi, thanks for subscribing. The suspension is on the hard side. It doesn't really glide over bad roads, and it is a problem with Ecosport. The jerks are transferred to the cabin and rear passengers are not always comfortable. Not much can be done about it. Suspension change is not an option in warranty. Now I haven't tried it, but people have posted on forums that Michelin or Yokohoma tyres are much more soft and provides better grip, reduced road noise and better ride. That won't dramatically improve it but to an extent can help. As for mileage 7-9kmpl is what I have experienced in city and ~13kmpl on highway, but I usually push my car to limits, accelerating it without worrying much about mileage. Ideally mileage should increase after 1st service. That is the norm. But it can also depend on fact that for first 2000kms itbis recommended not to cross 80kmph, or revv the engine too hard. People tend to keep their cars like babies for first few months. Post first service people tend to push there cars more. So that could be one reason. Rest could depend on traffic, fuel quality, etc Maximum I have extracted is 16kmpl on highway with very light foot driving, keeping it within 70-80kmph and frequent use of cruise control.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews I recently had a trip in my friend's new creta..and to my surprise the ride quality was equally bouncy if not worse in that too...may be its in the suv character then.
@@t0am1tvats yes to an extent. But also depends on suspension setup. The new Creta 2020 unfortunately also has a hard suspension unlike older generation. Ecosport, Venue, Creta, Seltos all have the same issue. Rear seat passengers are not comfortable. I won’t say it’s bouncy but more jerky because of bad roads being felt inside. Bouncy nature is found in vehicles like TUV300, Thar etc because of body on frame built. It goes all over the place. If you go for something like Duster, or a segment higher in Harrier, you will see much better suspension setup and rear passengers won’t be feeling that much issue there. They have much more balanced suspension that does well both on highway and bad roads.
A very comprehensive review. Keep it up buddy. Do suggest if I should buy a Diesel Ford Ecosport Titanium sports or Kia Sonet GT Line in manual transmission??
Hey, thanks a lot for watching. Diesel Ecosport is quite proven in market while Kia Sonet is just entering the market. Ecosport nails the ride, handling with a proven engine and low maintenance cost. Downsides are heavy clutch after 2 years of use, sideways opening tailgate, some blind spots, bottom engine guard falling off in rains etc. Good point about Sports will be that it should get all the bells and whistles in terms of equipment. Another problem is random feature deletions and dealerships randomly closing. The one I bought from closed in 2 years. Sonet however is betting big on creature comforts, giving good infotainment, ventilated seats, air purifier, wireless phone charger, front parking sensors etc so totally feature loaded. The engine seems to have more hp and torque. Kia is also investing heavily on service centers in India. Pricing and driving dynamics I still have to see for myself. But if I was buying today I would definitely wait to drive Sonet before buying.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Well noted, Budd. So I am willing to wait for another month's time till I do a test drive of Sonet. I would also look forward for an opinion from you ASAP once u have shared a comprehensive drive experience of Sonet, and while doing so please make a head to head comparison between Sonet and Ecosport in diesel manual transmission. Will eagerly look forward for d same, as it wud help me in a sane decision making. Cheerio.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews @Abhishek Singh Please make current titanium plus automatic and nexon automatic comparison 2021 model, does titanium plus automatic 2021 has sunroof now and rear ac and side and curtain airbag, please suggest the best automatic car below 13 lakh on Road Price Which is the best mileage wise and SAFETY FEATURES wise best automatic within 13-15lakh on Road. I had heard the front Seats are not comfortable for long rides in comparison to nexon , do you get very tired on front or rear seat and 3 people can't seat and back?
Nice, informative review. Thanks much. I've two queries though. First,Ford has just called off their JV with Mahindra. Is it good or bad? In the sense will they exit India or stay put? Second, they just announced the launch of 2021 EcoSport ..given query 1 is it safe to consider it?? Lastly, what mileage can be expected of the automatic in city driving. Thanks in advance.
So the mileage in city will be 7-9kmpl for Ecosport petrol AT. On highway it will be 13-14kmpl. I feel since Mahindra JV is called off, it is not a bad thing. Mahindra has not been great with their JVs. Each alliance either broke soon or bankrupted the other company. Ssanygong, pininfarina, Mahindra-Renault are examples. Hopefully this should Ford go back to their roots and see what works and what doesn't for them. They are going to stay and have plans to introduce facelifts and new car as well. Ecosport is one of their biggest exports from Chennai Plant so they won't shut operations so easy. As for considering a Ford Car. If you are in a metro city, I will say go for it. The service is really good and you won't face problems 7-8 years down the line. But if you are in a smaller town, tier -2 or 3 cities, do consider how nearby the service center is. That will make or break the experience in long term.
Hi Abhishek.. do you still recommend Ecosport? My yearly run will be approx. 12-14k. I like Ecosport a lot but hesitate to go for the petrol one due to very low mileage. How many kilometers you cover in a full tank? Do you think picking up diesel would make sense?
Hi, I feel every vehicle you listed have their pros cons: i10 AMT: Good for 4 adults, small car , easy and peppy to drive, park, silent engine. Hyundai service is easily available. Negatives are less space, less ground clearance, less boot space and of course AMT which is better than other AMT cars but not as great as other drivetrains in one segment above. Mileage will be better than other options. This will give you 13-14kmpl in city, while all other options will give you 8-9kmpl. Safety wise it is ok. Not the best. Other cars you mentioned are better in safety and almost on par at safety level among each other. Brezza AT: Decent interior space, SUV look, Maruti service and the engine is free revving , and good to drive. However AT is 4 speed so will be good in city traffic but not best on highway. It might feel a little out of breath compared to 6 speed automatic gearbox options in Sonet and Ecosport. Ecosport: best in driving dynamics hands down. Positives and Negatives are in this video. Only issue I see is slightly dated looks, deletion of some features, and less service Centers in Mumbai. Sonet DCT: most feature loaded in this list. Good looks, great engine, fast shifting gearbox. Only issue is DCT gearboxes tend to heat up in back to back traffic, and the interior space feels cramped. Venue DCT issues are exact same as Sonet albeit with lesser features. The DCT in venue comes in SX variant and not SX(O) so lacks many features even compared to Ecosport I won’t recommend Brezza. If you need reliable and tough car with decent features, and fuzz free experience, Ecosport is good, my problem with Ford is less service Centers. If you want features, performance and service availability, go for Sonet or Venue. I will prefer Sonet among two Only if you need a small car for a small family without much worry for performance or interior space, then you can go for i10 AMT.
Hi..... i am planning to buy ecosport trend petrol , however reviews show mileage of 8 -10km/ltr for city driver. Share your experience on this. What are service charges Any other sub 4mtr model you can suggest for CITY driving....
Hi, yeah that is true. For automatic petrol the mileage is 7 to 9 kmpl in city traffic, around 10-11kmpl for manual, and 13-14kmpl on highway. This is something we live with knowing it’s a safe car and the driving experience is top notch, and that is only reason why people buy this car. Dragon engine is absolute gem. Petrol engines in this sub 4m segment are not very fuel efficient and give approx same mileage. Since you mentioned trend Petrol, it means you are not specifically looking for automatic. In that case I will recommend Tata Nexon XMA. It will be an amazing car with great interiors, features and safety. I would say, see if you can try Diesel Nexon. It will be much more fun plus fuel efficient. There is venue and Sonet as well but they have hard suspensions, and not so great steering feedback as Ecosport or Nexon.
Hello, Yes in petrol with 1.5 Ltr engine you will get mileage around 10-12 in city with manual and on highway you can get 12-14. but with AMT its 10-11 in city and on highway 11-13.
Hi Subhendu, if I will list down positives and negatives and then tell you my pick. Venue DCT: Positives: The gearbox is really fast shifting and overall performance in Highway will be great. Hyundai's after sales service is great and available everywhere. The connected car tech is great. Negatives: DCT heats up in back to back traffic. Long term reliability is yet to be seen. Hard suspension, steering lacks feel and feedback. No 60:40 rear seats, sunglass holder, rear wiper. Looks more like a hatchback. Ecosport AT: Positives: Gearbox is good and more reliable. Isn't as fast as DCT but does it's job pretty well. Suspension is hard but car feels rock solid on bad roads. Gives you rear wiper, 60:40 split seats. Proven engine. Good road presence. Negatives: Ford keeps deleting features. Doesn't get Apply CarPlay, Android Auto or Sync3 system as it was earlier. Ford's service network is limited. Sideways opening tailgate is an issue. Resale value won't be as great as Venue. Personally I think.i would still prefer Ecosport because despite some feature deletions car is rock solid and drives much much better. However you should keep the above positives and negatives in mind and decide. 😊
great and detailed review. I am also planning for ecosport, I am 6 footer and new to driving, which will be the best choice for me petrol AT or diesel manual. If AT which is value for money varient titanium or titanium .
Since you are new to driving you have 2 choices. One is to learn Manual or start with Automatic and slowly learn Manual. Now diesel is not a bad option because it has good torque and you don't have to keep switching to 1st gear all the time. The mileage would be great and the engine is reliable too. Petrol automatic is great for convenience. It offers hill assist, paddle shifters and sports mode so you don't miss out on fun driving automatic. Only negatives are low mileage around 7-9kmpl in heavy traffic, and the automatic is not as fast as Venue DCT, but is certainly more reliable than those. Between Titanium and Titanium+ I would say Titanium+. The additional money is well worth the added safety and features. The newer models will also have the infotainment running on android so my previous complaint of android Auto and Apple CarPlay being removed from Titanium+ in 2019 is partially solved.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews . Thank you very much. which will be the best choice in AT in 10 -14 L on road. 80-20 city and highway. please share your views.
@@abbu51 I feel all the petrol automatics have one common flaw of poor mileage. In petrol automatic with that problem i would still choose Ecosport automatic over DCT options because I feel more confidence about reliability of Torque converter over DCT. But coming back to issue of mileage. While I don't believe in having a car solely for fuel efficiency, still it starts to pinch after a year or 2 with petrol automatic options in this segment. If same options were available to me in 2018, I would have seriously considered Sonet HTK Plus Diesel AT, with decent features and diesel engine paired with a torque converter. I don't like AMTs in such expensive cars like Nexon or XUV300, and Ecosport, Venue, Brezza doesn't have diesel automatic options. Sonet is the only one offering a good engine + automatic combo.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews htk plus is a good option in diesel automatic, but we have to compromise on safety. In your opinion which one will be good car for beginners.
@@abbu51 I feel as a beginner you won’t be driving that much. Ideally Petrol makes more sense. If you have a hectic schedule and just want a car for convenience buy Petrol automatic for which I would recommend Ecosport AT. If you want convenience of AT but still want to better control your car and choose your gears on your own, venue iMT could be the better option. The fuel efficiency would be slightly better too. For manual diesel nothing better than Nexon. I won’t look at anything else apart from Nexon, not even XUV or Ecosport. Now just in case you are inclined not only towards only SUVs and open to try compact sedans, Honda Amaze is not bad. Got good practicality and the CVT is really smooth. I loved both petrol and Diesel CVT. Has more boot space too. If you can compromise on ground clearance, than not a bad option which comes at a cheaper price tag too.
Maruti when launched its Ciaz upgraded model in 2015, people jumped off to buy that and in be end of 2015 they launched its Hybrid Ciaz. People who bought Ciaz upgraded feel cheated as they felt they bought one variant lower than the latest one, how you feel by having some missing features. But difference is huge between Maruti and Ford.
I agree to that, Ecosport is a driver's car and probably keeping the company afloat in India. But the case of Ciaz is a logical progression to keep adding new models and new tech in a car. For example old harrier owners would be pissed knowing that new Harrier is just so much better after a year. But features deletions are just the opposite and way more painful. Because a person might drive a friend's car, dreaming that maybe in a few months he will buy the same one, and feels really cheated if he finds out that things are missing. There are people who are not very thorough while buying a car and discover the deletions only once the car is ready for delivery. For example when I test drove Ecosport I could swear that there was TPMS in it, but the one that got delivered didn't. They flat out showed me the new brochure and said "it's not there Sir". It was not a deal breaker so I lived with it, but it did feel odd. Imagine today someone buying the vehicle and there is a whole list of features deleted in 2020 compared to a 2018 model, that too when so much competition is in this segment
Very cool and impressive review, could you please make a detailed video on Renault Duster Automatic Petrol please. Planning to buy the same so please guide me on the mileage part also.
Please make current titanium plus automatic and nexon automatic comparison 2021 model, does titanium plus automatic 2021 has sunroof now and rear ac and side and curtain airbag, please suggest the best automatic car below 13 lakh on Road Price
The MID cluster look sucks big time... Looks just like the old cars of the early 2000s.... And mileage is a bit of a concern... Apart from these, Ecosport is a fun to drive SUV.. 1. Superior build quality 2. Amazing pick-up 3. Minimal cabin noise 4. Firm road grip 5. Stability of the car at high speeds 6. Safety - The moment you shut the driver cabin door, you know you are inside a safe car 7. Inbuilt navigation from one above base model Trend model being offered... which has decent accuracy... The voice feature clearly advises whether to continue on flyover or take the exit ( in case if there is a exit to flyover and you aren't sure to go up or take exit) 8. Infotainment system is very good... Cannot compare it with Tata's Harman systems but still it is very good and bluetooth connects seamlessly
I usually get 8-10kmpl in city and 13-14kmpl in highway. Best case is 16kmpl if you drive on highway with light foot and use Cruise Control very often.
I have same model of Ford Ecosport bought in Feb 2018 which has company fitted Bridgestone R17 tyres. I have faced ture burst issue in 2019 and recently within a span of 15 days, two tyre burst issues. As my vehicle is in warranty, Ford is replacing my tyres. But while searching for this issue on Google, I have found that its the issue with R17 tyres as they are not suitable for Indian roads and should have 16 inch tyres. Any idea about this issue? It will be very helpful for me if you have any information about this issue, as Ford is not accepting this fact, although all of their past n future Ecosport variants have 16 inch tyres.
Hi, yes you are right. The 17 inch alloys came with the Bridgestone Ecopia tyres which were the main culprit. So there are 2 pieces to it. One is the 17 inch alloys which look good but paired with hard suspension and low profile tyre on bad Indian roads, it's not wise. Ford being Ford instead of outright acceptance of the fact they removed it from Titanium+ models and replaced with 16 inch alloys with higher profile tyres of Good year. It's still continued in S models. Thank god I got 16 inch in my car. The ride is good for sure. Second piece of problem is the Ecopia tyres which themselves are not good. Low profile tyres causing issues on bad roads and also prone to sidewall damage. Many people have resorted to switching alloys which is quite expensive or switching to Yokohoma or Michelin tyres with bigger sidewall and have reported better ride and comfort. Prices will vary for those options. I can't 100% recommend any option as I personally haven't done these but those are the only ways to solve this apparently.
None at all. It will perform without any hiccups. I have driven it on hilly areas, rough roads and never had any trouble. Unlike AMT or CVT it is meant for heavy duty use and while not as fast as DCT, it would certainly be more reliable.
well explained bro. thanq may i know the AT engine performance n pickup?? this interior is soo good to see..but in 2020 Tit+ AT variant interior comes with biege n black..i didnt like it
Hi, the AT gearbox and engine combo is really nice and feels ready for heavy duty use and reliable too. I have been using it for 2 years plus have been keeping an eye on forums. Never heard much complaints about it compared to CVT and AMT gearbox. Naturally aspirated engine provides good grunt both in traffic and on highway. On highway it won't be as fast as turbo petrol + DCT, but won't heat up or feel sluggish on slopes or in heavy traffic at all like the latter does. As for interiors, yes for Ecosport I like all black interiors only. Black + Beige highlights the not so premium plastic quality lower down in cabin. Black to an extent hides it.
Yohann Irani I know I understand in city and with heavy traffic it’s a joke. Even for me it is 8-10kmpl in city. It’s a heavy car and Torque converter is not exactly helping the case. If you have a few open stretch of roads on your daily commute, you can try driving with light foot and with cruise control as much as possible. I do that and it does help fuel economy. It’s definitely not fun though. I have only done it as an experiment
Hi, there are 6 airbags with Titanium+ model, and the mileage for automatic that I have seen is 7-9kmpl in city, and 13kmpl on highway. With manual transmission variants the figures could be approximately 1kmpl higher
Both have their own pros and cons. Diesel Ecosport gives great mileage and a proven reliable Diesel engine with punchy performance. The downsides are hard clutch after a year or two of usage, no automatic option and also the torque is not class leading. For manual diesel options there are other similar or slightly better offerings in the segment like xuv300 or nexon. If the monthly running is 2000kms or more it is a great choice. For petrol I personally love the Dragon series Naturally aspirated engine. It comes with an automatic option as well and I still believe even in 2020 it's the best Petrol automatic considering Indian road conditions. The downside is bad mileage. It is quite horrible in Indian city traffic, at max giving you 9-10kmpl. Else it's a great choice for city and highway. If monthly running is not that high go for petrol.
It is quite a tough question now. Issue is all the features that have been deleted by Ford. So for engine and gearbox I will still recommend the Naturally aspirated 1.5L Dragon Engine of Ecosport with 6 speed Torque converter compared to 1L turbo engine of Venue with DCT. I personally like Naturally aspirated engines, and as for gearbox DCT is better on highways but in back to back traffic it can heat up. Plus long term reliability of Venue's DCT is something we don't know. So engine and gearbox I will still prefer Ecosport. However now in Titanium+ AT it doesn't get Apple car play, Android Auto, leather seats, cargo management systems, puddle lamps, MyKey, ISOFIX etc which are like quite basic these days. I value mechanicals of a car but not at such a steep removal of features and addition of Sunroof which is quite stupid. You just might get better features plus good drive in Sonet. I will drive it soon and give my opinion on that car.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Agreed. Sonet shares the same engine and gearbox (7 speed DCT) of Venue so long term reliability of 1L turbocharged engine will still remain a concern. Considering all factors (driving dynamics, engine reliability, etc.) I wud still pick Ecosport over others, as Nexon has AMT (not smooth) and Brezza has only 4 speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
Avinash Kumar very true. I don’t know why reviewers don’t warn enough about the issues of AMT and value of a reliable engine. Most glance over all of this. AMT is the worst thing that exists in market today in terms of automatic. I would rather choose iMT than AMT any day.
In 2020, the BS6 Nexon facelift is much more feature loaded than its predecessor.i extensively compared these 2 in 2018 and I was looking for an automatic. Back then Nexon with its AMT gearbox, lack.of cruise control, hill assist, auto headlamps, auto wipers, auto dimming IRVM didn't seem like a good proposition. Now it has everything. Nexon is much more practical with more rear space for 3 passengers, more storage spaces comes off as a better family car. Honestly if you are looking for petrol automatic than go for Ecosport AT or Venue DCT. Nothing beats it still. Can't recommend AMT Nexon to anyone. Howsoever smooth, AMT remains an AMT. If you want Manual Transmission in Diesel or Petrol , go for Nexon without a doubt. For Diesel automatic go for Sonet.
Hi Abhishek. Interesting and refreshing take at reviews and compelled to ask my dilemma. I have booked Sonet iMT and they are long waiting time. While I'm tempted at the clutchless gear idea I'm certainly not convinced of are robustness of the very. And ES tit + is tempting me but for a poor mileage. It's robust, tested and reliable. What do I do Abhishek??
@@rajneeshplp hey, thanks for watching. I understand it is a big dilemma. So here is my take on it and I will only consider these two vehicles first. Sonet iMT: looks really great, fancy with all features, fab engine and iMT which will let you choose your own gear shifts. Since it’s not very different from Manual, should be decently reliable. Kia is also investing a lot in service Centers so that is also good. Mileage will be around 12kmpl in city realistically. Now I sat in Sonet and I liked it but didn’t love it for some reasons. First the look from far was like a hatchback and interior space for some reason felt even more cramped than Ecosport. I personally like a more clean interface of dashboard than big screens and tonnes of buttons. Also Seltos recently tested 3 star in GNCAP, and I am quite sure Sonet will be same. So moving to Ecosport, checks all my boxes, feels rock solid, comes with 6 airbags and has a proven engine, robust gearbox and would be my preference only the issue is features that are deleted. So now Tit+ doesn’t come with leather seats, sync3, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Ford MyKey, Cargo Management system. Only good thing is the recent models will come with Android screens so atleast you will get Android Auto for latest manufactured vehicle. Service Centers will be lesser than Hyundai and Kia. So the enthusiast in me says Ecosport still but not sure if it still justifies the price. If you want peace of mind and love driving, buy Ecosport. Mileage will be less around 8-9kmpl in city but can be increased with light foot driving and using cruise control. Also you get paddle shifters which are quite cool. But if you feel the family would prefer features and looks over driving feel, then Sonet is a good car too. For mileage in Sonet you can look at Diesel AT, if you are open to it. My only concern would be safety, as this would also probably be a 3 star rated vehicle like Seltos.
Already Booked ecosport titanium diesel, which is costing me 11 lacs after discount on road, most probably it will be delivered after lockdown but confused with seltos hte diesel base model which costs me around 12.30 + after mkt expenses in base model.. Ecosport titanium me features kaafi hai, but seltos me remote locking Bluetooth 2 din music system ect. Yahi sab milega space and road presence jyada better hai. To dono me konsi leni chahiye apke hisab se
I don’t think Tata’s engines are same as they used to be with Indica. They are quite updated with modern times. Yet the issues are 1. The petrol engine isn’t punchy enough. Their Diesel engines are better both in Altroz and Nexon. 2. NVH is not the best. They tend to get slightly noisy on higher rpms As for your short list. Honestly I would not look at Brezza with that 105hp Petrol engine. It just doesn’t seem exciting against competition. It is refined, revvs freely but doesn’t give you the performance. Nexon is a feature loaded car with good practicality, engine options. XM or any higher variant will do. My choice is diesel if going for Nexon. Now coming to Duster, if you are ok with not so modern features, slightly dated looks both exterior and interiors, then that engine with 156ps power is just fab. Will put smile on your face. That engine and ride quality is one thing that makes it a very good product. Plus it’s longer than 4m hence will have more space. So it all comes down to features and 5 star safety in Nexon vs engine, performance, ride quality and space in Duster
It performs flawlessly. 1.5L Dragon engine is punchy and also Naturally aspirated so there is no turbo lag at lower RPMs. Manually it will do its job very well. Even for the automatic, the transmission does a great job of downshifting when needed on its own. I did not have to manually downshift using paddle shifters ever. Hill hold also works great. Now if you want Automatic, torque converters are not as fast but will definitely be better than DCT in Venue/ Sonet in terms of rough use and driving in hilly areas. There is no comparison to AMT or CVT. The suspension is on the harder side so don't expect it to glide over bad roads like Duster. It will certainly handle those rough terrains but you will feel bumps inside cabin.
Bought Trend AT Feb 2019. Test drove the top end AT with S MODE but the sales rep didn’t share that trend AT model will have L mode instead of S. And the dummy that I am didn’t bother to check at the time of delivery as well😂. That’s was little disappointing. Fuel efficiency is problem but you can overlook it by catering the build and ride quality. So far the experience has been good but now if anyone is to buy a sub 4 mtr they have a whole lot of options to choose from. But then again I paid 10.3 lacs and got AT with auto climate…. Nice infotainment, high ground clearance (coming from elite i20😅) and fords reliability… it’s all good I guess.
You can. Mostly what I covered in this video, the positives and negatives will stay. I will say just make sure of a few things: 1. Check all the latest features in the brochure and ask the sales person to confirm point by point if anything is added or deleted 2. Take 4th-5th year warranty 3. See how many service centers are in your city Rest assured it is a lovely car with great ride, handling and engine options. Though now there is lots of competition in this segment
Hi...i just took a test drive today of petrol s variant...but I'm going for titanium model...here in blore it is 11.5 with excluding offers...i took a testdrive in higway...the experience was awesome which no car gave me so comfort and thrill of confidence to drive...its 3cylinder normal petrol engine of 1500cc...i have also took testride of nexon as well but I'm not feeling to buy nexon...ppl say nexon as stability but i didn't feel like that this ecosport has build quality...so I'm planned to go for ecosport titanium model...but I'm confused about some rumours...plz clarify any1 to go for it honestly. 1. Is this ford will live india like Chevrolet? 2. Will the service and spares are cheaper like maruthi or tata to maintain and affordable? 3. Should i go for petrol or diesel? Bcoz...in india they say soon like delhi they prohibit diesel cars to go in blore as well but don't know when...future is petrol cars but mileage is low when i checked in tachometer it was showing like 9.5km per litre...is this the same mileage of petrol? 4. Diesel car comes in turbo engine but not petrol...diesel car has 4cylinders but petrol has 3cylinders...but sales man says petrol car is built powerful if u want to keep it for longtime go for petrol as when they stop diesel cars no idea...so I'm confused in this bcoz just 30k differs for diesel if i go for diesel i get good mileage but afraid of rumours of getting stopped in future. 5. If i go for petrol i can get convert into CNG in future but can't in diesel cars? 6. Titanium is worthy and value for money i felt rather going for s variant. 7. Some ppl saying go for nexon as same and better future than ecosport...as nexon as rain sensor to get closed sunroof automatically and it has wider sunroof than ecosport...nexon has modes to drive...spacious in rear ceat to sit. But i have become mad abt ecosport sportive look than nexon in this segment. Is the sunroof is comfortable to stand over nexon sunroof? Plz resolve my confusions on above to go for it.
Very good review! Indeed. Please review cvt Toyota Yaris j model with comments on ground clearance particularly I am concerned with a sedan car on driving on bad roads. Thanks
Hi, the sports mode is still available along with Paddle shifters. That won't be deleted. The only deletions I have seen are removal of Sync3 system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, leather seats, cargo management system, puddle lamps, Ford MyKey, Glove box illumination. These all come in S Edition only now
@@AbhishekSinghReviews After deletion of these features in Titanium plus petrol automatic variant in 2020 model, is it still worth buying as a value for money variant or one should explore some other brands in this segment?
@@VIPINKUMAR-dz9yh if you are in a market for petrol automatic in this segment specifically, and you want a fun to drive car with great ride, amazing steering feel and feedback, superb handling then yes it is still a great car. In petrol automatic Nexon and XUV offers AMT so I don't like those. Venue and Sonet gives DCT which can heat up if driving continuously in back to back traffic, and Brezza gives 4 speed torque converter which is inferior to 6 speed TC of Ecosport. Now atleast Magnite has given a CVT, which is not bad, not great either. Atleast will be smooth and won't heat up. So Ecosport still holds in petrol automatics. But if you are out for evaluating cars with option open, Diesel or petrol, manual or automatic, sub 4m CSUV that can be a family car for 5 adults, well in that case with all the features deleted and some negatives I have listed in the video, you should evaluate more options.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Thanks for your detailed reply. Will you recommend Ecosport Petrol Automatic also for female drivers? Or, which CSUV in this segment will be the most suitable for female drivers?
Car acchi to kaafi hai. But running 70k kms hai jo thoda Jyada hai. 50000 km se neeche hota better hota. Ecosport me ek issue hai hard clutch ka. Kuch saal ki running me diesel Ecosport ka clutch hard feel hone Lagta hai. Aur jo 2013 ka starting batch tha Ecosport ka usme indicator aur wiper k controls steering k ulte side rehte hain. Wiper right me aur indicator left me. Baki insurance aur maintenance ka price bhi high hota hai used cars me. Agar Lena hai to mujhe lagta hai 4 lac me Lena chahiye. Aap chahe to old Duster bhi check kar sakte ho. Ho salta hai same range me mil jaye. Usme space aur ride comfort better hoga.
it was informative review brother , what about the mileage in city and highway . actually i was going to buy it but some owners said bad about the mileage . i agree it has more kerb weight and uses a torque converter but what mileage should i expect i am considering venue also .. pls help
Ecosport and Venue both automatic petrol cars will offer similar mileage. With Ecosport I have seen 7-9kmpl in heavy city traffic. 13-14kmpl on highways. If you drive with light foot and use cruise control often then you can extract slightly more from the car. Venue with its DCT will offer similar mileage of 8-9kmpl in city traffic and 14kmpl on highway. In this segment higher mileage is not possible with petrol engine. Even Nexon will give 10kmpl even with AMT.
Both have their own pros and cons. Diesel Ecosport gives great mileage and a proven reliable Diesel engine with punchy performance. The downsides are hard clutch after a year or two of usage, no automatic option and also the torque is not class leading. For manual diesel options there are other similar or slightly better offerings in the segment. If the monthly running is 2000kms or more it is a great choice. For petrol I personally love the Dragon series Naturally aspirated engine. It comes with an automatic option as well and I still believe even in 2020 it’s the best Petrol automatic considering Indian road conditions. The downside is bad mileage. It is quite horrible in Indian city traffic, at max giving you 9kmpl. Else it’s a great choice for city and highway.
Hi Abhishek, I want to buy a car (compact suv)in few weeks. Need an automatic (petrol or diesel). Safety and compliant suspension and mileage important. Bangalore city 30km/day. Annually 10000km (70:30 city and Highway). Please suggest variant and car. Budget is 14.5L on road. Some shortlists venue IMT - 6 airbags, Xuv 300 amt diesel w8 - 2 airbags. Venue dct SX+ - 2 airbags You may suggest others as well.
I think the shortlist is good. Venue iMT will give you better fuel efficiency ( depending on driving style), will have refined engine, best of both worlds+ automatic and manual. But suspension will be hard and the rear seat slightly cramped. Venue DCT is great as an automatic, DCT is fast shifting, but only issue is long term reliability and heating issues in back to back traffic. Both iMT and DCT are petrol engines so mileage will be max 8-9kmpl in city for DCT and slightly more for iMT. XUV 300 is a great choice..The suspension, ride quality will be better than Venue, will give you 7 airbags, more rear seat space. Only problem is less boot space and AMT which I personally don't like. It is quite good though in XUV300. I will make a video soon on it. You can evaluate Sonet HTK Diesel AT. Gives you same space as Venue but more boot space, good Diesel engine and proper Torque Converter gearbox rather than AMT. The mileage will be better since it's Diesel compared to Venue Petrol. Ecosport petrol AT is also good. These days I don't recommend since features have been deleted, especially Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but I have heard the Fly audio for latest deliveries will run on android OS. You can try these 2 last options as well.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews That was an elaborate response. Thank you very much for taking time to reply. I will TD your suggestions. Little apprehensive about Sonet htk+ diesel as it misses out esc,vsm,hac and brake assist. Safety and plush suspension are my priority. Venue IMT SX (o) has six airbags and all passive safety features but no proven crash test. XUV amt variant w8 has proven crash test but 2 airbags and all passive safety features- which should I value more just from point of safety. Wish xuv had a petrol amt w8(o) it would have come in my budget with best of everything and a strong candidate:).
Prasad but isn’t the W8(O) comes with 7 airbags. Also the prices were slashed last month. I think the highest model of XUV300 comes at around 14.7 lakhs. I will check once
Thanks to all of you for all the wonderful feedback, comments and likes on this video. Do check my other videos. And if you like the videos, please do subscribe to my channel. 🤘🏻😀
I think it is still relevant and great purchase. However there are few things that works against it as well. If you are out for having a driver's car with great performance and handling, it is superb and won't disappoint you. But for a little more price you can evaluate Nexon XM Diesel, which is more spacious and will come with more features too. Ecosport diesel also has long term issue of hard clutch. So before finalizing I will recommend to check Nexon Diesel XM because their ride quality and steering is not bad either.
Nicely explained bro... Unfortunately, no AT in diesel.. gaadi to bahut pasand hai.. I live in delh.. 500 km in delhi.. 500 km on highway ... Monthly.. which mini suv is best for me ? 10 to 12 ka budget .. diesel or petrol... Ecosport next gen kab 5ak aa sakti hai.. gaadi to pasand hai but milage of petrol is too poor
I have aspire automatic with same dragon engine same gearbox.. getting 12 in city 16+in high ways. But i must say car is fantastic to drive in day time. At night due to its poor head lights i lose some confidence specially rainy nights.. still best infotainment system . Very ordinary instrument cluster n mid..
Hey, thanks for reminding me about the headlights. I might make a separate video on just that issue. I don't know why many manufacturers provide such bad stock headlights in cars. Driving in rainy nights in ghats with stock headlamps of Ecosport is scary as hell. And yeah that MID seems like some highschool kid designed it.
@Abhishek Singh Please make current titanium plus automatic and nexon automatic comparison 2021 model, does titanium plus automatic 2021 has sunroof now and rear ac and side and curtain airbag, please suggest the best automatic car below 13 lakh on Road Price Which is the best mileage wise and SAFETY FEATURES wise best automatic within 13-15lakh on Road. I had heard the front Seats are not comfortable for long rides in comparison to nexon , do you get very tired on front or rear seat and 3 people can't seat and back?
It is a great choice. Venue is q good car and I love how Hyundai is experimenting with different gearbox options like iMT, DCT in this segment. Ford Ecosport will always be a great driver's car but I don't think I would have bought the same in 2020 considering everything else.
MNC thanks a lot for watching and also your feedback 😊 We have just started and still recording it out of iPhone 😅 Very soon we will be buying better equipment. Do keep watching 😊
Hello, Yes in petrol with 1.5 Ltr engine you will get mileage around 10-12 in city with manual and on highway you can get 12-14. but with AMT its 10-11 in city and on highway 11-13.
What about mileage in highways and in City for petrol automatic?
Mileage in city is 7-9kmpl and on highway it is 13kmpl. Not the best in mileage for sure . Though Venue, Nexon petrol automatic will also give similar numbers.
Driving with light foot and cruise control helps.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Why haven't you elaborated about mileage in video??
@@satitourstravels9803 unfortunately it was an editing mistake. While shortening the video it got chopped off. I try to keep that info in other reviews.

A really well made video. I had the exact same requirements, same shortlist but I'm 6'1 and drive with 4 people most of the time, so chose Jazz finally. Sacrificed power for space, refinement and CVT automatic vs AMT.
How does the riding height differ? In terms of ride quality, ingress, egress, sitting position?
Considering the Petrol price and ES mileage. Is it possible to install CNG kit in ES AT to reduce running cost? What's your pick on it?
I have seen some users installing CNG in cars like Nexon and Ecosport. I think it won't work with the Ecoboost but with the 1.5L petrol engine should work. Now for manual it is fine albeit it won't give you performance, but the fuel cost would go down significantly.
However I am not aware how Automatic transmission will work with it and if there are any other factors which will affect the running.
Thanks sir appreciate your hard work and time put in..Recently i have been offered an ecosport 2017 model 25k driven so far for around 5.6 lac m based in mumbai too im keen to buy this but my major concern would be about service center (1 is in kalina which is shifting to kurla in 2 months) so considering veerything mostly the service center and availability of parts ..can you please advice should buy i no and this would be my first car hence dont wish to spend more for compact suv .
Good Review! Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Can you please share from where you have purchased the floor mats? Are they fit perfectly?
Titanium plus 2018 model of yours was a wise purchase that time with all bells and whistles. You bought 16 inchers was a crack on deal. 17 inchers have been stopped. Now I believe Titanium plus BS6 has less features
Yes very true. I feel lucky I bought it right on time. Just 3 or 4 months after they started deleting features in Titanium+ model like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Leather seats, puddle lamps, Ford MyKey, Cargo management system just to add a sunroof which is weird.
Today in 2020 I don't know even with its great driveability I would have bought it with many standard features been removed

Great Review! thinking of buying Ecosport in Q1 2021. Any Idea on next-gen Ecosport or Ecosport Active launch in India?
Thanks a lot for watching. Next gen Ecosport would probably be unveiled next year and be available for Sale in 2022. It hasn’t even been spied testing anywhere yet. That is for sure coming.
I feel Active could be a good launch, but they won’t do it. They have added some modifications to suspension, increased ground clearance and added limited slip differential. I feel even if they launched it here, it would be priced much higher than current variants, and compete with Seltos and Creta in pricing, and probably not sell.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Great insight .. thanks for sharing much needed information. keep rocking :-)
Can you shift to sports mode while car is moving or have to stop first.

Does 2018 have Hill control feature ?
Dear Sir It was sure an education reading all your replies.I hv to make a choice among the automatic transmission for basically city drive with less run,solo driver who loves driving .Budget 13-14 lakh.Engine power not less than 1.5 l or 1.0l turbo.
Pls help me make a choice among the following:
1.City VCVT
2.Sonet GTX plus
3.Ford Ecosport petrol AT Titanium
4.Toyota Yaris
Should I wait for Honda ZRV 1.5 l 2021
Didn't like Venue ,too clinical n cab like.Owns Verna 1.6 vtvt since 9 yrs.
Appreciate an early reply .
Thanking you in anticipation.
Thanks for watching my video. It is quite an interesting short list.
1. Honda city is more from comfort and luxury feel. If you have good roads, and occasional need for carrying 5 people , one of the better choices. It has got great engine, though CVT dulls the performance a bit, but will be smooth in city driving . Got good features, tonnes of leg room and boot space. Will also be mode fuel efficient than other petrol automatics like Sonet and ES. Only negative is CVT is not so performance oriented at highway speeds, and low ground clearance
2. I am assuming you are talking about Sonet Petrol DCT. It won’t be that comfortable. The interiors does feel cramped. Even more so than Ecosport. The dashboard looks quite busy. Good part is tonnes of features, infotainment system, ventilated seats, front parking sensors, navigation, Bose speakers etc, suspension is hard so not exactly great for bad roads. Also while DCT is fast shifting, it tends to heat up in back to back traffic if you get stuck for 30min or more and especially on slopes
3. Ecosport has one of best engine + gearbox combo. Torque converter is not exactly faster than DCT, but is better than CVT and more reliable than DCT. Space is decent. Rear seat is not so wide though. The automatic version titanium plus in 2020 lacks many features like sync3, android auto, apple carplay, leather seats, alloy pedals, ford mykey, puddle lamps etc which my 2018 model had. So while driving dynamics are sorted and probably the best, still the features seems to be too less
4. Toyota Yaris is good but not impressive in any way. I would go for Honda City than Yaris. Only Real positives against Honda City would be built and reliability
Honda ZRV sounds interesting but my only concern is they should launch an automatic. They failed to do so with WRV. I think they get stuck because it starts competing with Honda city at same price range. Hopefully they don’t do so with ZRV
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Thank you so much for a comprehensive reply.So to sum up shall I settle with Ford Ecosport AT petrol Titanium model or City Vcvt ?
@@vaishalidevare437 yes. I will say test drive both these one more time. Possibly with a friend so they can point out anything that you may be missing. These are possibly the best sedans and CSUV when it comes to driving dynamics. Features yes, others may offer more.
For Honda city consider other things also like bad roads, or parking space since it’s a long vehicle.
And for Ford I will suggest see how many service Centers are around you. I am facing trouble in Mumbai atleast. Only 3 available that too they are not very nearby and are almost always packed. Mileage also for Ecosport would be 7-9kmpl in city.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Precisely my point and that is where am stuck !
Am too based in Mumbai .2 strong points discouraging me against City are water clogging due to extended rains here and the moreover 5 th gen City has increased the length and the width Anyways thank you so much for devoting so much time trying to solve my doubts !

Hey, thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. ☺️
I will definitely try to keep doing better and will keep your suggestions in mind😀
I just subscribed...nice review. I own the Titanium At 2019. Great car , the only two things i dont like are uncomfortable bouncy ride for rear passengers...can something be done about it ? Secondly my car was giving decent avg of around 9 to 11 in city before 1st oil change. I was hoping the mileage would further increase. But to my shock mileage decreased to 7 to 8 after the 1st oil change. Is this normal ?
Hi, thanks for subscribing. The suspension is on the hard side. It doesn't really glide over bad roads, and it is a problem with Ecosport. The jerks are transferred to the cabin and rear passengers are not always comfortable. Not much can be done about it. Suspension change is not an option in warranty. Now I haven't tried it, but people have posted on forums that Michelin or Yokohoma tyres are much more soft and provides better grip, reduced road noise and better ride. That won't dramatically improve it but to an extent can help.
As for mileage 7-9kmpl is what I have experienced in city and ~13kmpl on highway, but I usually push my car to limits, accelerating it without worrying much about mileage.
Ideally mileage should increase after 1st service. That is the norm. But it can also depend on fact that for first 2000kms itbis recommended not to cross 80kmph, or revv the engine too hard. People tend to keep their cars like babies for first few months. Post first service people tend to push there cars more. So that could be one reason. Rest could depend on traffic, fuel quality, etc
Maximum I have extracted is 16kmpl on highway with very light foot driving, keeping it within 70-80kmph and frequent use of cruise control.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews I recently had a trip in my friend's new creta..and to my surprise the ride quality was equally bouncy if not worse in that too...may be its in the suv character then.
@@t0am1tvats yes to an extent. But also depends on suspension setup. The new Creta 2020 unfortunately also has a hard suspension unlike older generation. Ecosport, Venue, Creta, Seltos all have the same issue. Rear seat passengers are not comfortable. I won’t say it’s bouncy but more jerky because of bad roads being felt inside. Bouncy nature is found in vehicles like TUV300, Thar etc because of body on frame built. It goes all over the place.
If you go for something like Duster, or a segment higher in Harrier, you will see much better suspension setup and rear passengers won’t be feeling that much issue there. They have much more balanced suspension that does well both on highway and bad roads.
A very comprehensive review. Keep it up buddy.
Do suggest if I should buy a Diesel Ford Ecosport Titanium sports or Kia Sonet GT Line in manual transmission??
Hey, thanks a lot for watching. Diesel Ecosport is quite proven in market while Kia Sonet is just entering the market.
Ecosport nails the ride, handling with a proven engine and low maintenance cost. Downsides are heavy clutch after 2 years of use, sideways opening tailgate, some blind spots, bottom engine guard falling off in rains etc. Good point about Sports will be that it should get all the bells and whistles in terms of equipment. Another problem is random feature deletions and dealerships randomly closing. The one I bought from closed in 2 years.
Sonet however is betting big on creature comforts, giving good infotainment, ventilated seats, air purifier, wireless phone charger, front parking sensors etc so totally feature loaded. The engine seems to have more hp and torque. Kia is also investing heavily on service centers in India. Pricing and driving dynamics I still have to see for myself. But if I was buying today I would definitely wait to drive Sonet before buying.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Well noted, Budd. So I am willing to wait for another month's time till I do a test drive of Sonet. I would also look forward for an opinion from you ASAP once u have shared a comprehensive drive experience of Sonet, and while doing so please make a head to head comparison between Sonet and Ecosport in diesel manual transmission. Will eagerly look forward for d same, as it wud help me in a sane decision making. Cheerio.
@@singh13may will definitely do. I am quite eager to review Sonet. Hoping it gets available for a test drive soon 🤘

Which is the best mileage wise and SAFETY FEATURES wise best automatic within 13-15lakh on Road.
I had heard the front Seats are not comfortable for long rides in comparison to nexon , do you get very tired on front or rear seat and 3 people can't seat and back?
Nice, informative review. Thanks much. I've two queries though. First,Ford has just called off their JV with Mahindra. Is it good or bad? In the sense will they exit India or stay put? Second, they just announced the launch of 2021 EcoSport ..given query 1 is it safe to consider it?? Lastly, what mileage can be expected of the automatic in city driving. Thanks in advance.
So the mileage in city will be 7-9kmpl for Ecosport petrol AT. On highway it will be 13-14kmpl.
I feel since Mahindra JV is called off, it is not a bad thing. Mahindra has not been great with their JVs. Each alliance either broke soon or bankrupted the other company. Ssanygong, pininfarina, Mahindra-Renault are examples. Hopefully this should Ford go back to their roots and see what works and what doesn't for them. They are going to stay and have plans to introduce facelifts and new car as well. Ecosport is one of their biggest exports from Chennai Plant so they won't shut operations so easy.
As for considering a Ford Car. If you are in a metro city, I will say go for it. The service is really good and you won't face problems 7-8 years down the line. But if you are in a smaller town, tier -2 or 3 cities, do consider how nearby the service center is. That will make or break the experience in long term.
Hi Abhishek.. do you still recommend Ecosport? My yearly run will be approx. 12-14k. I like Ecosport a lot but hesitate to go for the petrol one due to very low mileage. How many kilometers you cover in a full tank? Do you think picking up diesel would make sense?
Did you purchase ecosport, do you recommend now
Breeza at or EcoSport at petrol or venue DCT or i10 amt or sonet DCT which one is better?
Safety , mileage , comfort and service centers
Hi, I feel every vehicle you listed have their pros cons:
i10 AMT: Good for 4 adults, small car , easy and peppy to drive, park, silent engine. Hyundai service is easily available. Negatives are less space, less ground clearance, less boot space and of course AMT which is better than other AMT cars but not as great as other drivetrains in one segment above. Mileage will be better than other options. This will give you 13-14kmpl in city, while all other options will give you 8-9kmpl. Safety wise it is ok. Not the best. Other cars you mentioned are better in safety and almost on par at safety level among each other.
Brezza AT: Decent interior space, SUV look, Maruti service and the engine is free revving , and good to drive. However AT is 4 speed so will be good in city traffic but not best on highway. It might feel a little out of breath compared to 6 speed automatic gearbox options in Sonet and Ecosport.
Ecosport: best in driving dynamics hands down. Positives and Negatives are in this video. Only issue I see is slightly dated looks, deletion of some features, and less service Centers in Mumbai.
Sonet DCT: most feature loaded in this list. Good looks, great engine, fast shifting gearbox. Only issue is DCT gearboxes tend to heat up in back to back traffic, and the interior space feels cramped.
Venue DCT issues are exact same as Sonet albeit with lesser features. The DCT in venue comes in SX variant and not SX(O) so lacks many features even compared to Ecosport
I won’t recommend Brezza. If you need reliable and tough car with decent features, and fuzz free experience, Ecosport is good, my problem with Ford is less service Centers.
If you want features, performance and service availability, go for Sonet or Venue. I will prefer Sonet among two
Only if you need a small car for a small family without much worry for performance or interior space, then you can go for i10 AMT.
Hi..... i am planning to buy ecosport trend petrol , however reviews show mileage of 8 -10km/ltr for city driver. Share your experience on this. What are service charges
Any other sub 4mtr model you can suggest for CITY driving....
Hi, yeah that is true. For automatic petrol the mileage is 7 to 9 kmpl in city traffic, around 10-11kmpl for manual, and 13-14kmpl on highway. This is something we live with knowing it’s a safe car and the driving experience is top notch, and that is only reason why people buy this car. Dragon engine is absolute gem.
Petrol engines in this sub 4m segment are not very fuel efficient and give approx same mileage.
Since you mentioned trend Petrol, it means you are not specifically looking for automatic. In that case I will recommend Tata Nexon XMA. It will be an amazing car with great interiors, features and safety.
I would say, see if you can try Diesel Nexon. It will be much more fun plus fuel efficient.
There is venue and Sonet as well but they have hard suspensions, and not so great steering feedback as Ecosport or Nexon.
Hello, Yes in petrol with 1.5 Ltr engine you will get mileage around 10-12 in city with manual and on highway you can get 12-14. but with AMT its 10-11 in city and on highway 11-13.
Well explained...loved it
Saquib Iqbal Thank you so much 😊
Sir.. in your opinion which is better between EcoSport titanium AT versus venue dct
Hi Subhendu, if I will list down positives and negatives and then tell you my pick.
Venue DCT:
Positives: The gearbox is really fast shifting and overall performance in Highway will be great. Hyundai's after sales service is great and available everywhere. The connected car tech is great.
Negatives: DCT heats up in back to back traffic. Long term reliability is yet to be seen. Hard suspension, steering lacks feel and feedback. No 60:40 rear seats, sunglass holder, rear wiper. Looks more like a hatchback.
Ecosport AT:
Positives: Gearbox is good and more reliable. Isn't as fast as DCT but does it's job pretty well. Suspension is hard but car feels rock solid on bad roads. Gives you rear wiper, 60:40 split seats. Proven engine. Good road presence.
Negatives: Ford keeps deleting features. Doesn't get Apply CarPlay, Android Auto or Sync3 system as it was earlier. Ford's service network is limited. Sideways opening tailgate is an issue. Resale value won't be as great as Venue.
Personally I think.i would still prefer Ecosport because despite some feature deletions car is rock solid and drives much much better. However you should keep the above positives and negatives in mind and decide. 😊
great and detailed review. I am also planning for ecosport, I am 6 footer and new to driving, which will be the best choice for me petrol AT or diesel manual. If AT which is value for money varient titanium or titanium .
Since you are new to driving you have 2 choices. One is to learn Manual or start with Automatic and slowly learn Manual.
Now diesel is not a bad option because it has good torque and you don't have to keep switching to 1st gear all the time. The mileage would be great and the engine is reliable too.
Petrol automatic is great for convenience. It offers hill assist, paddle shifters and sports mode so you don't miss out on fun driving automatic. Only negatives are low mileage around 7-9kmpl in heavy traffic, and the automatic is not as fast as Venue DCT, but is certainly more reliable than those.
Between Titanium and Titanium+ I would say Titanium+. The additional money is well worth the added safety and features. The newer models will also have the infotainment running on android so my previous complaint of android Auto and Apple CarPlay being removed from Titanium+ in 2019 is partially solved.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews . Thank you very much. which will be the best choice in AT in 10 -14 L on road. 80-20 city and highway. please share your views.
@@abbu51 I feel all the petrol automatics have one common flaw of poor mileage. In petrol automatic with that problem i would still choose Ecosport automatic over DCT options because I feel more confidence about reliability of Torque converter over DCT.
But coming back to issue of mileage. While I don't believe in having a car solely for fuel efficiency, still it starts to pinch after a year or 2 with petrol automatic options in this segment. If same options were available to me in 2018, I would have seriously considered Sonet HTK Plus Diesel AT, with decent features and diesel engine paired with a torque converter. I don't like AMTs in such expensive cars like Nexon or XUV300, and Ecosport, Venue, Brezza doesn't have diesel automatic options. Sonet is the only one offering a good engine + automatic combo.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews htk plus is a good option in diesel automatic, but we have to compromise on safety. In your opinion which one will be good car for beginners.
@@abbu51 I feel as a beginner you won’t be driving that much. Ideally Petrol makes more sense. If you have a hectic schedule and just want a car for convenience buy Petrol automatic for which I would recommend Ecosport AT.
If you want convenience of AT but still want to better control your car and choose your gears on your own, venue iMT could be the better option. The fuel efficiency would be slightly better too.
For manual diesel nothing better than Nexon. I won’t look at anything else apart from Nexon, not even XUV or Ecosport.
Now just in case you are inclined not only towards only SUVs and open to try compact sedans, Honda Amaze is not bad. Got good practicality and the CVT is really smooth. I loved both petrol and Diesel CVT. Has more boot space too. If you can compromise on ground clearance, than not a bad option which comes at a cheaper price tag too.
Maruti when launched its Ciaz upgraded model in 2015, people jumped off to buy that and in be end of 2015 they launched its Hybrid Ciaz. People who bought Ciaz upgraded feel cheated as they felt they bought one variant lower than the latest one, how you feel by having some missing features. But difference is huge between Maruti and Ford.
I agree to that, Ecosport is a driver's car and probably keeping the company afloat in India. But the case of Ciaz is a logical progression to keep adding new models and new tech in a car. For example old harrier owners would be pissed knowing that new Harrier is just so much better after a year.
But features deletions are just the opposite and way more painful. Because a person might drive a friend's car, dreaming that maybe in a few months he will buy the same one, and feels really cheated if he finds out that things are missing. There are people who are not very thorough while buying a car and discover the deletions only once the car is ready for delivery.
For example when I test drove Ecosport I could swear that there was TPMS in it, but the one that got delivered didn't. They flat out showed me the new brochure and said "it's not there Sir". It was not a deal breaker so I lived with it, but it did feel odd.
Imagine today someone buying the vehicle and there is a whole list of features deleted in 2020 compared to a 2018 model, that too when so much competition is in this segment
@@AbhishekSinghReviews agreed 👍
Very cool and impressive review, could you please make a detailed video on Renault Duster Automatic Petrol please. Planning to buy the same so please guide me on the mileage part also.
Please make current titanium plus automatic and nexon automatic comparison 2021 model, does titanium plus automatic 2021 has sunroof now and rear ac and side and curtain airbag, please suggest the best automatic car below 13 lakh on Road Price
The MID cluster look sucks big time... Looks just like the old cars of the early 2000s.... And mileage is a bit of a concern...
Apart from these, Ecosport is a fun to drive SUV..
1. Superior build quality
2. Amazing pick-up
3. Minimal cabin noise
4. Firm road grip
5. Stability of the car at high speeds
6. Safety - The moment you shut the driver cabin door, you know you are inside a safe car
7. Inbuilt navigation from one above base model Trend model being offered... which has decent accuracy... The voice feature clearly advises whether to continue on flyover or take the exit ( in case if there is a exit to flyover and you aren't sure to go up or take exit)
8. Infotainment system is very good... Cannot compare it with Tata's Harman systems but still it is very good and bluetooth connects seamlessly
Brother, what is the mileage that you get with this 1.5L engine and AT gearbox?
I usually get 8-10kmpl in city and 13-14kmpl in highway. Best case is 16kmpl if you drive on highway with light foot and use Cruise Control very often.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews is this similar with current EcoSport automatic titanium variant?
Hi, bro.. thanks for the informative video.
How is the engine noise inside cabin in ecosport petrol engine car?
I have same model of Ford Ecosport bought in Feb 2018 which has company fitted Bridgestone R17 tyres. I have faced ture burst issue in 2019 and recently within a span of 15 days, two tyre burst issues. As my vehicle is in warranty, Ford is replacing my tyres. But while searching for this issue on Google, I have found that its the issue with R17 tyres as they are not suitable for Indian roads and should have 16 inch tyres. Any idea about this issue? It will be very helpful for me if you have any information about this issue, as Ford is not accepting this fact, although all of their past n future Ecosport variants have 16 inch tyres.
Hi, yes you are right. The 17 inch alloys came with the Bridgestone Ecopia tyres which were the main culprit.
So there are 2 pieces to it. One is the 17 inch alloys which look good but paired with hard suspension and low profile tyre on bad Indian roads, it's not wise. Ford being Ford instead of outright acceptance of the fact they removed it from Titanium+ models and replaced with 16 inch alloys with higher profile tyres of Good year. It's still continued in S models. Thank god I got 16 inch in my car. The ride is good for sure.
Second piece of problem is the Ecopia tyres which themselves are not good. Low profile tyres causing issues on bad roads and also prone to sidewall damage. Many people have resorted to switching alloys which is quite expensive or switching to Yokohoma or Michelin tyres with bigger sidewall and have reported better ride and comfort. Prices will vary for those options. I can't 100% recommend any option as I personally haven't done these but those are the only ways to solve this apparently.
Now all of the ecosport models are coming with 16 inch tyres only. Now there are no issues. Now MRF and Good Year tyres are coming from the factory.
How is the downhill performance in Automatic transmission model?
Great video. Very detailed and honest review. I have booked eco automatic. Is there any problem on hiils
None at all. It will perform without any hiccups. I have driven it on hilly areas, rough roads and never had any trouble. Unlike AMT or CVT it is meant for heavy duty use and while not as fast as DCT, it would certainly be more reliable.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews thanks. Really helpful 👍
well explained bro.
thanq
may i know the AT engine performance n pickup??
this interior is soo good to see..but in 2020 Tit+ AT variant interior comes with biege n black..i didnt like it
Hi, the AT gearbox and engine combo is really nice and feels ready for heavy duty use and reliable too.
I have been using it for 2 years plus have been keeping an eye on forums. Never heard much complaints about it compared to CVT and AMT gearbox.
Naturally aspirated engine provides good grunt both in traffic and on highway. On highway it won't be as fast as turbo petrol + DCT, but won't heat up or feel sluggish on slopes or in heavy traffic at all like the latter does.
As for interiors, yes for Ecosport I like all black interiors only. Black + Beige highlights the not so premium plastic quality lower down in cabin. Black to an extent hides it.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews thanks alot bro..its really means alot to me
What fuel average are you getting in city?... I'm getting a horrible 8.5 km/ltr.
Yohann Irani I know I understand in city and with heavy traffic it’s a joke. Even for me it is 8-10kmpl in city.
It’s a heavy car and Torque converter is not exactly helping the case.
If you have a few open stretch of roads on your daily commute, you can try driving with light foot and with cruise control as much as possible. I do that and it does help fuel economy.
It’s definitely not fun though. I have only done it as an experiment
nice review,can you tell me how many air bags and what is mileage ?
Hi, there are 6 airbags with Titanium+ model, and the mileage for automatic that I have seen is 7-9kmpl in city, and 13kmpl on highway.
With manual transmission variants the figures could be approximately 1kmpl higher
Hi Brother,
Please suggest Ecosport - petrol or diesel version?
Both have their own pros and cons. Diesel Ecosport gives great mileage and a proven reliable Diesel engine with punchy performance. The downsides are hard clutch after a year or two of usage, no automatic option and also the torque is not class leading. For manual diesel options there are other similar or slightly better offerings in the segment like xuv300 or nexon. If the monthly running is 2000kms or more it is a great choice.
For petrol I personally love the Dragon series Naturally aspirated engine. It comes with an automatic option as well and I still believe even in 2020 it's the best Petrol automatic considering Indian road conditions. The downside is bad mileage. It is quite horrible in Indian city traffic, at max giving you 9-10kmpl. Else it's a great choice for city and highway. If monthly running is not that high go for petrol.
Great Review.
Hey, thank you so much 😊
I'm confused between this and Aspire, can you help me decide please. (Both diesel).
Mai bhi pehle aspire lene ka socha tha but echosport dekhne ke baad aspire bhul gya mai
Sir i bought 2019 august model automatic ecosport which don't have Apple car play and Android auto..
Which C-SUV you would suggest out of Ecosport, Nexon, Venue/Sonet, Brezza in petrol automatic!
It is quite a tough question now. Issue is all the features that have been deleted by Ford.
So for engine and gearbox I will still recommend the Naturally aspirated 1.5L Dragon Engine of Ecosport with 6 speed Torque converter compared to 1L turbo engine of Venue with DCT.
I personally like Naturally aspirated engines, and as for gearbox DCT is better on highways but in back to back traffic it can heat up. Plus long term reliability of Venue's DCT is something we don't know.
So engine and gearbox I will still prefer Ecosport.
However now in Titanium+ AT it doesn't get Apple car play, Android Auto, leather seats, cargo management systems, puddle lamps, MyKey, ISOFIX etc which are like quite basic these days. I value mechanicals of a car but not at such a steep removal of features and addition of Sunroof which is quite stupid. You just might get better features plus good drive in Sonet. I will drive it soon and give my opinion on that car.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Agreed. Sonet shares the same engine and gearbox (7 speed DCT) of Venue so long term reliability of 1L turbocharged engine will still remain a concern. Considering all factors (driving dynamics, engine reliability, etc.) I wud still pick Ecosport over others, as Nexon has AMT (not smooth) and Brezza has only 4 speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
Avinash Kumar very true. I don’t know why reviewers don’t warn enough about the issues of AMT and value of a reliable engine. Most glance over all of this. AMT is the worst thing that exists in market today in terms of automatic. I would rather choose iMT than AMT any day.
How about manual? Nexon or Ecosport?
Should I go with ecosport or Tata nexon in 2020 ?
In 2020, the BS6 Nexon facelift is much more feature loaded than its predecessor.i extensively compared these 2 in 2018 and I was looking for an automatic.
Back then Nexon with its AMT gearbox, lack.of cruise control, hill assist, auto headlamps, auto wipers, auto dimming IRVM didn't seem like a good proposition. Now it has everything.
Nexon is much more practical with more rear space for 3 passengers, more storage spaces comes off as a better family car.
Honestly if you are looking for petrol automatic than go for Ecosport AT or Venue DCT. Nothing beats it still. Can't recommend AMT Nexon to anyone. Howsoever smooth, AMT remains an AMT.
If you want Manual Transmission in Diesel or Petrol , go for Nexon without a doubt.
For Diesel automatic go for Sonet.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews Thank you so much! Your detailed analysis is very helpful. :)
@@barkhaflora1191 you are welcome 😊
Hi Abhishek. Interesting and refreshing take at reviews and compelled to ask my dilemma. I have booked Sonet iMT and they are long waiting time. While I'm tempted at the clutchless gear idea I'm certainly not convinced of are robustness of the very. And ES tit + is tempting me but for a poor mileage. It's robust, tested and reliable. What do I do Abhishek??
I'll go crazy deciding, and so will the dealers and family
@@rajneeshplp hey, thanks for watching. I understand it is a big dilemma. So here is my take on it and I will only consider these two vehicles first.
Sonet iMT: looks really great, fancy with all features, fab engine and iMT which will let you choose your own gear shifts. Since it’s not very different from Manual, should be decently reliable. Kia is also investing a lot in service Centers so that is also good. Mileage will be around 12kmpl in city realistically.
Now I sat in Sonet and I liked it but didn’t love it for some reasons. First the look from far was like a hatchback and interior space for some reason felt even more cramped than Ecosport. I personally like a more clean interface of dashboard than big screens and tonnes of buttons. Also Seltos recently tested 3 star in GNCAP, and I am quite sure Sonet will be same.
So moving to Ecosport, checks all my boxes, feels rock solid, comes with 6 airbags and has a proven engine, robust gearbox and would be my preference only the issue is features that are deleted. So now Tit+ doesn’t come with leather seats, sync3, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Ford MyKey, Cargo Management system. Only good thing is the recent models will come with Android screens so atleast you will get Android Auto for latest manufactured vehicle. Service Centers will be lesser than Hyundai and Kia.
So the enthusiast in me says Ecosport still but not sure if it still justifies the price. If you want peace of mind and love driving, buy Ecosport. Mileage will be less around 8-9kmpl in city but can be increased with light foot driving and using cruise control. Also you get paddle shifters which are quite cool.
But if you feel the family would prefer features and looks over driving feel, then Sonet is a good car too. For mileage in Sonet you can look at Diesel AT, if you are open to it. My only concern would be safety, as this would also probably be a 3 star rated vehicle like Seltos.
Already Booked ecosport titanium diesel, which is costing me 11 lacs after discount on road, most probably it will be delivered after lockdown but confused with seltos hte diesel base model which costs me around 12.30 + after mkt expenses in base model.. Ecosport titanium me features kaafi hai, but seltos me remote locking Bluetooth 2 din music system ect. Yahi sab milega space and road presence jyada better hai. To dono me konsi leni chahiye apke hisab se
Ecosport
Hello I want to buy an SUV I have three options in mind Brezza, Nexon and duster which one should I choose
I have heard Tata's engines aren't reliable
I don’t think Tata’s engines are same as they used to be with Indica. They are quite updated with modern times. Yet the issues are 1. The petrol engine isn’t punchy enough. Their Diesel engines are better both in Altroz and Nexon.
2. NVH is not the best. They tend to get slightly noisy on higher rpms
As for your short list. Honestly I would not look at Brezza with that 105hp Petrol engine. It just doesn’t seem exciting against competition. It is refined, revvs freely but doesn’t give you the performance.
Nexon is a feature loaded car with good practicality, engine options. XM or any higher variant will do. My choice is diesel if going for Nexon.
Now coming to Duster, if you are ok with not so modern features, slightly dated looks both exterior and interiors, then that engine with 156ps power is just fab. Will put smile on your face. That engine and ride quality is one thing that makes it a very good product. Plus it’s longer than 4m hence will have more space.
So it all comes down to features and 5 star safety in Nexon vs engine, performance, ride quality and space in Duster
@@AbhishekSinghReviews thanks a lot 👍
We can’t switch it to manual mode? Then how do we use the paddle shifters?
How does this car perform in hills? Is it worth enough taking to say places like lahaul spiti?
It performs flawlessly. 1.5L Dragon engine is punchy and also Naturally aspirated so there is no turbo lag at lower RPMs. Manually it will do its job very well. Even for the automatic, the transmission does a great job of downshifting when needed on its own. I did not have to manually downshift using paddle shifters ever. Hill hold also works great.
Now if you want Automatic, torque converters are not as fast but will definitely be better than DCT in Venue/ Sonet in terms of rough use and driving in hilly areas. There is no comparison to AMT or CVT.
The suspension is on the harder side so don't expect it to glide over bad roads like Duster. It will certainly handle those rough terrains but you will feel bumps inside cabin.
Bought Trend AT Feb 2019. Test drove the top end AT with S MODE but the sales rep didn’t share that trend AT model will have L mode instead of S. And the dummy that I am didn’t bother to check at the time of delivery as well😂. That’s was little disappointing. Fuel efficiency is problem but you can overlook it by catering the build and ride quality. So far the experience has been good but now if anyone is to buy a sub 4 mtr they have a whole lot of options to choose from. But then again I paid 10.3 lacs and got AT with auto climate…. Nice infotainment, high ground clearance (coming from elite i20😅) and fords reliability… it’s all good I guess.
What fuel efficiency are you getting?...
Bhaisaab just toady I took a test drive of this vehicle. Rock solid but looks dated.
What average does ur car give in city and highway ?
Very detailed and informative video. However you missed the mileage and maintenance part.
what is the mileage you saw in city and highways for petrol automatic
Hi, the mileage in city is 8-9kmpl and on highway it is 13-14kmpl and can increase depending on light foot driving and use of cruise control
Should I go for ecosport in 2021 starting
You can. Mostly what I covered in this video, the positives and negatives will stay. I will say just make sure of a few things:
1. Check all the latest features in the brochure and ask the sales person to confirm point by point if anything is added or deleted
2. Take 4th-5th year warranty
3. See how many service centers are in your city
Rest assured it is a lovely car with great ride, handling and engine options. Though now there is lots of competition in this segment
@@AbhishekSinghReviews thank you sir 😊
Sir should I but petrol manual version if I see in the point of view of mileage.
Yes. You can certainly try. Even the manual version is quite fun. The mileage for manual will be 9-11kmpl in city and 14-15kmpl on highway.

Hi...i just took a test drive today of petrol s variant...but I'm going for titanium model...here in blore it is 11.5 with excluding offers...i took a testdrive in higway...the experience was awesome which no car gave me so comfort and thrill of confidence to drive...its 3cylinder normal petrol engine of 1500cc...i have also took testride of nexon as well but I'm not feeling to buy nexon...ppl say nexon as stability but i didn't feel like that this ecosport has build quality...so I'm planned to go for ecosport titanium model...but I'm confused about some rumours...plz clarify any1 to go for it honestly.
1. Is this ford will live india like Chevrolet?
2. Will the service and spares are cheaper like maruthi or tata to maintain and affordable?
3. Should i go for petrol or diesel?
Bcoz...in india they say soon like delhi they prohibit diesel cars to go in blore as well but don't know when...future is petrol cars but mileage is low when i checked in tachometer it was showing like 9.5km per litre...is this the same mileage of petrol?
4. Diesel car comes in turbo engine but not petrol...diesel car has 4cylinders but petrol has 3cylinders...but sales man says petrol car is built powerful if u want to keep it for longtime go for petrol as when they stop diesel cars no idea...so I'm confused in this bcoz just 30k differs for diesel if i go for diesel i get good mileage but afraid of rumours of getting stopped in future.
5. If i go for petrol i can get convert into CNG in future but can't in diesel cars?
6. Titanium is worthy and value for money i felt rather going for s variant.
7. Some ppl saying go for nexon as same and better future than ecosport...as nexon as rain sensor to get closed sunroof automatically and it has wider sunroof than ecosport...nexon has modes to drive...spacious in rear ceat to sit.
But i have become mad abt ecosport sportive look than nexon in this segment.
Is the sunroof is comfortable to stand over nexon sunroof?

The only deletions I have seen are removal of Sync3 system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, leather seats, cargo management system, puddle lamps, Ford MyKey, Glove box illumination. These all come in S Edition only now
@@AbhishekSinghReviews After deletion of these features in Titanium plus petrol automatic variant in 2020 model, is it still worth buying as a value for money variant or one should explore some other brands in this segment?
@@VIPINKUMAR-dz9yh if you are in a market for petrol automatic in this segment specifically, and you want a fun to drive car with great ride, amazing steering feel and feedback, superb handling then yes it is still a great car. In petrol automatic Nexon and XUV offers AMT so I don't like those. Venue and Sonet gives DCT which can heat up if driving continuously in back to back traffic, and Brezza gives 4 speed torque converter which is inferior to 6 speed TC of Ecosport. Now atleast Magnite has given a CVT, which is not bad, not great either. Atleast will be smooth and won't heat up.
So Ecosport still holds in petrol automatics. But if you are out for evaluating cars with option open, Diesel or petrol, manual or automatic, sub 4m CSUV that can be a family car for 5 adults, well in that case with all the features deleted and some negatives I have listed in the video, you should evaluate more options.

Ecosport me ek issue hai hard clutch ka. Kuch saal ki running me diesel Ecosport ka clutch hard feel hone Lagta hai. Aur jo 2013 ka starting batch tha Ecosport ka usme indicator aur wiper k controls steering k ulte side rehte hain. Wiper right me aur indicator left me.
Baki insurance aur maintenance ka price bhi high hota hai used cars me.
Agar Lena hai to mujhe lagta hai 4 lac me Lena chahiye. Aap chahe to old Duster bhi check kar sakte ho. Ho salta hai same range me mil jaye. Usme space aur ride comfort better hoga.
it was informative review brother , what about the mileage in city and highway . actually i was going to buy it but some owners said bad about the mileage . i agree it has more kerb weight and uses a torque converter but what mileage should i expect i am considering venue also .. pls help
Ecosport and Venue both automatic petrol cars will offer similar mileage. With Ecosport I have seen 7-9kmpl in heavy city traffic. 13-14kmpl on highways. If you drive with light foot and use cruise control often then you can extract slightly more from the car.
Venue with its DCT will offer similar mileage of 8-9kmpl in city traffic and 14kmpl on highway. In this segment higher mileage is not possible with petrol engine. Even Nexon will give 10kmpl even with AMT.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews thank you bro! i will go with ecosport
Since 2016 upto nw Eco sports Car is the Best n secured...the BEST to drive n SOCOZE LOOK'S.
Which one would be Better Petrol or Diesel?
Both have their own pros and cons. Diesel Ecosport gives great mileage and a proven reliable Diesel engine with punchy performance. The downsides are hard clutch after a year or two of usage, no automatic option and also the torque is not class leading. For manual diesel options there are other similar or slightly better offerings in the segment. If the monthly running is 2000kms or more it is a great choice.
For petrol I personally love the Dragon series Naturally aspirated engine. It comes with an automatic option as well and I still believe even in 2020 it’s the best Petrol automatic considering Indian road conditions. The downside is bad mileage. It is quite horrible in Indian city traffic, at max giving you 9kmpl. Else it’s a great choice for city and highway.
Hi Abhishek, I want to buy a car (compact suv)in few weeks. Need an automatic (petrol or diesel). Safety and compliant suspension and mileage important.
Bangalore city 30km/day. Annually 10000km (70:30 city and Highway). Please suggest variant and car. Budget is 14.5L on road.
Some shortlists venue IMT - 6 airbags,
Xuv 300 amt diesel w8 - 2 airbags.
Venue dct SX+ - 2 airbags
You may suggest others as well.
I think the shortlist is good.
Venue iMT will give you better fuel efficiency ( depending on driving style), will have refined engine, best of both worlds+ automatic and manual. But suspension will be hard and the rear seat slightly cramped.
Venue DCT is great as an automatic, DCT is fast shifting, but only issue is long term reliability and heating issues in back to back traffic. Both iMT and DCT are petrol engines so mileage will be max 8-9kmpl in city for DCT and slightly more for iMT.
XUV 300 is a great choice..The suspension, ride quality will be better than Venue, will give you 7 airbags, more rear seat space. Only problem is less boot space and AMT which I personally don't like. It is quite good though in XUV300. I will make a video soon on it.
You can evaluate Sonet HTK Diesel AT. Gives you same space as Venue but more boot space, good Diesel engine and proper Torque Converter gearbox rather than AMT. The mileage will be better since it's Diesel compared to Venue Petrol.
Ecosport petrol AT is also good. These days I don't recommend since features have been deleted, especially Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but I have heard the Fly audio for latest deliveries will run on android OS. You can try these 2 last options as well.
@@AbhishekSinghReviews That was an elaborate response. Thank you very much for taking time to reply. I will TD your suggestions. Little apprehensive about Sonet htk+ diesel as it misses out esc,vsm,hac and brake assist. Safety and plush suspension are my priority.
Venue IMT SX (o) has six airbags and all passive safety features but no proven crash test.
XUV amt variant w8 has proven crash test but 2 airbags and all passive safety features- which should I value more just from point of safety.
Wish xuv had a petrol amt w8(o) it would have come in my budget with best of everything and a strong candidate:).
Prasad but isn’t the W8(O) comes with 7 airbags. Also the prices were slashed last month. I think the highest model of XUV300 comes at around 14.7 lakhs. I will check once
Thanks to all of you for all the wonderful feedback, comments and likes on this video. Do check my other videos. And if you like the videos, please do subscribe to my channel. 🤘🏻😀
Very well made video brother.
Do you think the BS6 Trend diesel is still a good purchase in 2020?
I think it is still relevant and great purchase. However there are few things that works against it as well.
If you are out for having a driver's car with great performance and handling, it is superb and won't disappoint you.
But for a little more price you can evaluate Nexon XM Diesel, which is more spacious and will come with more features too. Ecosport diesel also has long term issue of hard clutch. So before finalizing I will recommend to check Nexon Diesel XM because their ride quality and steering is not bad either.
It seems diesel version clutch is very hard.Does It be an issue in city driving
Nicely explained bro...
Unfortunately, no AT in diesel.. gaadi to bahut pasand hai.. I live in delh.. 500 km in delhi.. 500 km on highway ... Monthly.. which mini suv is best for me ? 10 to 12 ka budget .. diesel or petrol...
Ecosport next gen kab 5ak aa sakti hai.. gaadi to pasand hai but milage of petrol is too poor
I have aspire automatic with same dragon engine same gearbox.. getting 12 in city 16+in high ways. But i must say car is fantastic to drive in day time. At night due to its poor head lights i lose some confidence specially rainy nights.. still best infotainment system . Very ordinary instrument cluster n mid..
Hey, thanks for reminding me about the headlights. I might make a separate video on just that issue. I don't know why many manufacturers provide such bad stock headlights in cars.
Driving in rainy nights in ghats with stock headlamps of Ecosport is scary as hell.
And yeah that MID seems like some highschool kid designed it.
@Abhishek Singh Please make current titanium plus automatic and nexon automatic comparison 2021 model, does titanium plus automatic 2021 has sunroof now and rear ac and side and curtain airbag, please suggest the best automatic car below 13 lakh on Road Price
Which is the best mileage wise and SAFETY FEATURES wise best automatic within 13-15lakh on Road.
I had heard the front Seats are not comfortable for long rides in comparison to nexon , do you get very tired on front or rear seat and 3 people can't seat and back?
Bro ford EcoSport Ka Konsa varient value for money h
Titanium petrol
Well described and agree with u a lot of cost cutting is done by the company even in top models and that is the reason i opted for venue
It is a great choice. Venue is q good car and I love how Hyundai is experimenting with different gearbox options like iMT, DCT in this segment.
Ford Ecosport will always be a great driver's car but I don't think I would have bought the same in 2020 considering everything else.
Camera quality could be better...but otherwise this channel deserves more subscribers...
MNC thanks a lot for watching and also your feedback 😊
We have just started and still recording it out of iPhone 😅
Very soon we will be buying better equipment. Do keep watching 😊
what is that behind dash board? is it a woofer or just a speaker??
Hi, it's just a speaker. Not a sub woofer. 😊
Please suggest brother Ford ecosport titanium or new rapid rider plus tsi turbo engine both for family usage,long drive, reliable of quality
Rapid is a very comfortable and charm car go for it. But you want to feel SUV type, then non other than EcoSport
Go for Nexon
You have not covered mileage or is it me only not noticing ??
Nice review bro. Well made and good quality details. 👍🏽
harshit sahu Hey, thanks a ton dude. Means a lot 😊
Very Nice
Sir, I want to know about the mileage you are getting from your Ecosport as it is an automatic petrol?
Hi, it is 7-9kmpl in heavy traffic in Mumbai. In normal city commute I get 10kmpl and on highway roughly 14kmpl.
Hello, Yes in petrol with 1.5 Ltr engine you will get mileage around 10-12 in city with manual and on highway you can get 12-14. but with AMT its 10-11 in city and on highway 11-13.
Nicely explained
Arun Mangalath thank you!! 😀
