Ford EcoSport for Europe heading for Geneva 2013

The Ford EcoSport – a butch little SUV based on the Ford Fiesta – is heading for a European reveal at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

The new EcoSport arrived in Delhi last year as Ford’s take on the funky little urban warrior market – think Nissan Juke – and it looks a properly purposeful little urban runaround, with its butch stance and statement grill.

We thought when the EcoSport launched in India that it seemed more than likely that Ford would start to market the EcoSport in Europe, and last September – at Ford’s ‘Go Further’ event in Amsterdam  Ford confirmed the EcoSport would arrive in the UK and Europe, and now it’s heading for a European debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.

Ford aren’t giving away any details of what will be under the bonnet of the EcoSport for Europe, but it seems reasonable to think we should see most – if not all – of the engines currently on offer in the Fiesta. That should mean an appealing EcoSport with Ford’s latest 1.0 litre 3-cylidner engine and, if we’re lucky, a more than warm EcoSport ST.

We’d expected the EcoSport to debut as a production model in September at Frankfurt and launch in early 2014, but if the EcoSport at Geneva is a European production-ready version we could see the EcoSport on European roads before the end of 2013.

More on the Ford EcoSport from Geneva in a week or two.
