Ford has unveiled the European version of its EcoSport SUV at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
The EcoSport will be equipped with Ford SYNC voice-activated in-car connectivity system as well as SYNC Emergency Assistance.
The EcoSport will be one of the first Fords on sale in Europe to offer SYNC AppLink, which enables customers to voice-control smartphone apps from the driver's seat.
Paul Mascarenas, Ford’s chief technical officer, said: "We are entering the age of the connected car and debuting EcoSport at Mobile World Congress underlines just how important advanced vehicle technology is to customers and to Ford."
It will host a range of frugal petrol and diesel engines, and will be available with the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that develops 125 HP (92 kW) and the 1.5 litre diesel with 90 PS and the promise of excellent headline economy.
Prices should start at £14,000 when it hits UK showrooms early next year.
