The Ford Equator Sport that debuted 3 years ago in China has been redesigned as Ford Equator Sport Facelift and has been launched in China. The latest model has been listed on the Jiangling Ford website, but the price has not been mentioned yet. However, as the current Equator Sport model has a price range of Rs 15.40 lakh to 19.75 lakh, the newly launched Facelift may also have a similar pricing. Given the fact that only a few minimal changes have been made, compared to the original model, there might be little hike in the price.
The Facelift has got some fresh cosmetic changes in its exterior mainly in the front end, while there is not much of a change in the remaining bodywork. Latest design trends like new lightning elements along with a sharper grille which has a more contemporary, sleek unit have been introduced. A black panel can be seen visually linking the new LED headlights to the bumper intakes. To give the Facelift a more toned-down, athletic, and dynamic look, the bumper has been upgraded accordingly. Meanwhile, the car features 20 inch alloy wheels for a better road presence. The Ford Equator Sport Facelift Launched in is available in 2 new colours that are Wilderness Green and Cactus Grey.
