Ford has recently introduced the Ecosport Titanium+ Petrol variant with Manual transmission. Ford Ecosport which was previously only available with fully Automatic Transmission has now been launched with a manual one.

The Manual version carries the same engine as the Automatic i.e. 1.5L Ti-VCT with 3 cylinders, but the transmission is now a 5-speed MT instead of the 6 speed AT.

The Titanium+ has a host of features, and since its now being offered with a Manual, mileage will certainly be good and will definitely appeal to the Indian market.

Rahul Gautam, VP of Marketing at Ford India quoted,

Since new Ford EcoSport was introduced, our customers have been demanding a top-of-the-line Titanium+ petrol manual variant, offering enhanced safety with six airbags. In our commitment to meet customer demands, we are pleased to introduce this variant and offer a greater choice to our customers.
