The Ford Authority Take

The drop in Ford EcoSport sales volume during Q2 2022 was the result of subpar availability, caused by lower production volumes as a result of various supply chain constraints in the face of the pending discontinuation of the crossover. These constrains include but are not limited to the ongoing microchip shortage, which was initially brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Previously, Ford announced that it will discontinue the EcoSport in mid-2022 as a result of the automaker’s decision to cease manufacturing operations in India, including the Ford Chennai Assembly Plant where the EcoSport is built. In fact, the final Ford EcoSport rolled off the assembly line just last month, as Ford Authority previously reported, closing the plant after 25 years of production. Though the Ford EcoSport will no longer be sold in India and exported to Canada or the United States, FoMoCo has said that it will continue to produce the crossover at the Ford Craiova Assembly Plant in Romania for the European market.

It’s also worth noting that FoMoCo introduced a few changes to the 2022 Ford EcoSport, including the discontinuation of the 1.0L EcoBoost I-3 engine from the lineup, making the atmospheric 2.0L I-4 the crossover’s sole engine option. Additionally, all-wheel drive has become standard across the board. Notably, these changes have resulted in price increases across all trims.
