Ford had a reputation for manufacturing tough vehicles focusing on safety capabilities and this incident proves it beyond any doubt.
This collision of the Mercedes GLC with the Ford EcoSport highlights the build quality of both these SUVs. Mercedes is world-renowned for making luxury and safe cars while Ford is a mass market brand that offers safety at affordable prices. Ford left India last year but its products have left behind a legacy. Many Ford car owners wanted the carmaker to reconsider its decision but the lack of sales didn’t make business sense. Nevertheless, we often get to experience the build of some of its products even now.
