Ford is expected to be readying the updated EcoSport for the Indian market. The updated car is expected to get the more powerful diesel engine from the Aspire therefore increasing power from the current 90bhp to 98.6bhp.

Spy pictures have shown the Ford Ecosport without the tailgate mounted spare wheel but Ford officials have confirmed that this is the export version for Europe where the trend towards run-flat tyres eliminates the need for a spare altogether.

However for the Indian market the fifth wheel will be retained to give the compact crossover a SUV stance.

The updated Ecosport will also come with slightly spruced interiors with greater use of chrome to give it a more upmarket feel.
