Ford has introduced a facelifted EcoSport in Europe.

On the inside there’s a new steering wheel and new chrome trimmings. Titanium models also get partial leather seats, while a new winter pack can be specified and this includes heated seats, windscreen and side mirrors.

The standard features will be increased in the coming months and will eventually include a reverse camera and navigation.

The ride height has been reduced by 10mm to improve handling.

All of the engines have been carried over, but the 1,5-litre turbocharged diesel develops slightly more power while using less fuel.

It’s not yet clear when this facelift will arrive in SA.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
