Here’s an example of the strong build quality of Ford Ecosport which braved through a head-on accident with a truck, keeping all passengers safe.
All Ford cars have had a good safety rating till date and that we can see from various major accidents that it has gone through. While we may not have heard much about Endeavour, but many buyers of Figo, Aspire, Freestyle and Ecosport have reported full confidence when it comes to safety. Here’s another example where the owner is thankful for the build quality of Ford Ecosport, as it saved his family.
The driver was going on a highway, travelling at a speed of 80-90 km/hr. It was night time and suddenly, the Ecosport crashed into an oncoming truck. Both of them had a head-on collision at a considerable high speed. The owner got out safe with three other people inside, all with just some minor injuries. However, the car was totalled and as you can see here, looks beyond repair.

The front portion has been crumpled completely and the damage has even reached the engine components. Even the bonnet has taken another shape itself, which shows how bad the impact is actually. The chassis has received damage which is beyond repair. However, if you see the side fenders have not received huge damage. The wheels are still in proper condition, showing that the structure has limited the damaged just to the front of the car.
The owner unfortunately did not have the car insured due to some discrepancy in the insurance date of the last term. So, the insurance will not cover the car and to top that, he received an estimate of around 7.5 Lakhs from the Ford service centre. The owner is planning to put this car in the scrap market and switch on to another car. There’s actually no use putting 7.5 Lakhs on a car which is priced around 10-12 Lakhs. Better buy a new Ecosport.
The prices of the compact SUV start at Rs 8.17 Lakhs up to Rs 11.56 Lakhs for the petrol variants, whereas the diesel variants are priced from Rs 8.67 Lakhs up to Rs 11.71 Lakhs (all prices ex-showroom). Compared to other SUVs in this segment, the Ecosport is priced very competitively. While it is a SUV that you will love to drive and bend around the corners, but in terms of features and interior, it falls a lot behind in this competition.
