Ford has teased the new Ford EcoSport ‘SE’ that is gearing up to launch in the Indian market soon. In its SE trim, the new Ford EcoSport will come with a new tailgate design that does not offer a tailgate-mounted spare wheel but adds new features such as a silver skid plate. The number plate holder is also mounted higher on the tailgate instead of the lower bumper. Speculations are that the new Ford EcoSport in the SE trim will come with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System and a Tyre Puncture Repair kit. Other than this the compact SUV is not likely to receive any other changes and will be similar to the ‘S’ trim.
