The upcoming India-spec 2018 <a href="https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Ford/Ford_Ecosport" target="_blank">Ford EcoSport facelift</a> will pack a spanking new 1.5-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine. This new motor will replace the current 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol, which also powers the <a href="https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Ford/Ford_Figo" target="_blank">Figo</a> and <a href="https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Ford/Ford_Figo_Aspire" target="_blank">Aspire</a> petrol-automatic variants.
The new 1.5-litre Ti-VCT (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing) made its world premiere in Brazil in May this year. The EcoSport facelift becomes the first vehicle in Ford&rsquo;s global lineup to use this new motor. The tech on board includes a lightweight aluminium block, integrated exhaust manifold (just like the 1.0-litre EcoBoost), Ti-VCT among others.

In the Brazil-spec 2018 EcoSport, this engine puts out 131PS of max power and 153Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual or a new 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. This new torque converter automatic has replaced the 6-speed dual-clutch Powershift automatic of the outgoing model.
This new drivetrain (new 1.5-litre petrol + 6-speed AT) option will also help the 2018 model to better distinguish itself from its relatively economical siblings, the Figo and the Aspire, which also share the current 1.5-litre Ti-VCT motor with the outgoing EcoSport.
