Ford Vietnam has unveiled the prices of its 2018 EcoSport ranging from VND545 million (US$23,900) to VND689 million ($30,200).

It would hit the market next Tuesday and its plant is now ready to hand over the cars to dealers, the company said.

The car comes in five versions all with improved design and interiors, it said.

The Titanium version comes with two engine variants -- EcoBoost 1.0L and Dragon 1.5L.

The other versions are equipped with the Dragon 1.5L engine.

Pham Van Dung, general director of Ford Vietnam, said the new EcoSport has been built with close co-operation between Ford technicians around the world after listening to ideas from customers globally, including from Việt Nam.

Ford believes the car would keep its leadership in the city SUV segment in Viet Nam, he said.

EcoSport has been manufactured at the company’s Hai Duong plant since 2014 and been the leader of the segment since then.

It has so far sold 15,000 units in Việt Nam.

EcoSport is sold in 149 markets around the world.
