Roll back the clocks two years and reports were rife that Ford was readying a new EcoSport for the Indian market. The SUV, another facelift for Ford’s subcompact SUV, was spotted undergoing testing on multiple occasions and featured notable cosmetic changes over the model on sale. However, come September 2021, the keenly awaited launch plans changed as Ford announced that it was shutting its production operations in India. The EcoSport facelift that was being readied at the time was shelved and never hit the market.

As showcased in a video, the after-market mods wears the larger grille and new bumpers seen on the test mules back in 2021 along with getting the new inverted L-shaped daytime running lamps around the smaller – compared to the production model – fog lamps. The tail lamps too were updated with units featuring L-shaped LED signatures.
