There will also be an automatic variant. The smallest yet most powerful and promising 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine powered version is likely to be priced the highest among all. Despite being a 3-cylinder, 1.0-litre engine, the EcoBoost promises to churn out the maximum power output of around 120bhp, 170Nm torque, while returning a superb fuel efficiency of around 18kmpl.
