The new Ford Eco Sport is not a small car

When the new FORD EcoSport was 1st revealed in Auto Expo 2012, there was many reasons to believe that the car will be under the hallowed 4 metre mark. The choice of engines is a 1.5 litre diesel engine and 1.0 litre petrol one, will be ideal to benefit from excise duty . This notion was further bolstered by inclusion of tailgate mounted spare wheel which was according to the excise rules and is not measured as a part of length of the car. The global mini SUV is likely to longer than the 4 metres in interests of space and the styling, if so it will not qualify for the savings of small car excise duty. Ford has held its specification, mainly the dimensions, close to the chest, but when we asked that if the EcoSport met to the sub 4 metre cutoff...

Test Drive of Skoda Laura vRS

The original Octavia vRS that came to India circa 2005 was the first turbo-petrol in the country. This hot Octy set a performance benchmark, even if there were very few takers for it. The new Laura vRS has to fill a sporty niche while also appealing to an even wider audience. The question is, can it do both? We found out the long way down to Chennai from Mumbai via NH4 for our annual track day at Sriperumbudur.
