Ford has submitted a new design patent for a mid-size SUV in India, sparking speculation about a potential EcoSport replacement. The patent image reveals a front ¾ view of the SUV, suggesting a mid-size model competing with vehicles like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara. Key features include a wide hexagonal grille with three-piece LED lights, flared wheel arches, and a small rear quarter glass.
Rumors abound regarding Ford’s potential Indian market comeback. Last month, a design patent for the new-gen Endeavour was filed, hinting at a possible introduction as a CBU around 2025.
