The All New Ford Eco-Sport

Yeah but unlike the Jimny that looks like a third world vehicle, this one looks nice. Panglaban nila sa Kia Soul pero feeling ko mas magaling sa presyuhan ang Ford.

Di kaya maging ganito ang final showroom version (or lower trim version)? Baka top-end model lang yung TRON headlights version.

It won't look like that chop which appears to be based on a 2013 Escape.

The EcoSport Concept is probably more than 90% production ready, only the trim and some details like headlights will change.

First disregard that chop, its not going to look like that. I already posted spy photos which show that the EcoSport Concept is more than 90% identical to the production model.

2nd, the trapezoidal grill on the chop came from the Ford Kuga which was launched in late 2007! Way before the ASX.

The 10th gen lancer original Mitsu traped. grill concept was revealed on 2005 & the prod. model was launched on Jan. 2007, so who did a copycat?

I'm sure nobody intentionally copied anyone.
But Ford's lower grill has been around for a while too.
Have you seen the previous gen Fiesta ST which was launched in late 2004?

Ford EcoSport Review - YouTube
This video explains the styling of the EcoSport, they also mentioned the sharp portions (edges) on the rounded D-pillars and tail lights which were designed to improve aerodynamics.

Interesting details.
