Here is a picture that shows the new Ford EcoSport without the spare wheel on the back.
I can't confirm if this is a custom job or supplied by Ford. Ford did state that it was optional....
Personally I like this, I would however change the way "Ecosport" is positioned on the boot and perhaps either do away with it altogether or move it to a more conventional location.

Hi Dan,

Yes it looks good but I agree that ECOSPORT should maybe be a conventional badge. Until I see a car in real life I am not sure whether or not I will like the spare wheel on the back door.

I do not understand how it can just have had the spare wheel removed as there must be some kind of relatively substantial mounting to hold something that weighs as much as a wheel and tyre also this rear door must have been specially made as the spare wheel would cover the ECOSPORT and FORD logos.

Cheers

I agree - this pic is from a Pajero without the spare wheel mounted on the back.

I presume the Ecosport shown in your picture with no rear mounted spare wheel will come with only a tyre repair kit as opposed to an internally stored spare wheel.

Cheers

Yeah I would guess so - very little info at the moment

but I like the spare wheel on on the back. gives the car a distinguishing look.
If Ford would only change the back to the one of the Kuga MK1, then it would also be OK.
But having only the one rear door option, makes the SUV look like the old European Fusion, a delivery vehicle.

I like having a full size spare wheel and think itlooks okay in the pictures. I'm also not sure why people don't like the way the rear door opens - I know it means that you have to allow for it when parking etc, but you don't have to open the door fullyon every occasion - itdepends what you're puttinginit. The side opening door isof the reasons I chose the car.It makes it much easier to manage getting dogs in and out. I certainly wouldn't want a door that opens when you wave your leg atit! . Each to their own.
