Freestyle - Thumbs up

Exterior Excellent Build quality and ground clearance. Have added some nice but limited touches like roof rails etc. to make it more SUV-Like.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent Space & Comfort. You really will feel safe in a FORD vehicle.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Amazing Performance with the 1.5l, ye to check on Fuel Economy, fairly good gearbox and responsive.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality & handling. As always, FORD cars are a pleasure to drive and enjoy doing it.

Final Words Value for money, Excellent performance, comfort, ground clearance, and safety.  Very nicely sits between Ford cars & Ford Ecosport. Clear winner.

Someone who wishes to go for SUV, or SUV like EcoSport but with budget constraints should go for the top variant of Freestyle with peace of mind. If the Top variant could have priced between 8-8.50, then really could have been a big difference with the overall package and tough for competitors.

Areas of improvement At least in the top end variants, could have added projector lamps, DRL's, 60:40 rear seat split.

Excellent Comfort, Performance and Safety. Typical Ford - excellent car to enjoy drivingNo Projector headlights, DRL's, 60:40 rear seat split even for the top end version
