After a tough 2013 in Australia, the company is keen to kick off 2014 with fresh, youthful and forward looking product like the BK EcoSport.
It’s a whole new market for the 111-year old car-maker, as well as a golden opportunity for a reversal of fortune, because the micro-SUV segment is growing rapidly with a host of new rivals.
