What You’ll Find in the New Ford EcoSport

Ford has been known for offering us some of the most incredible SUVs to drive on the roads and the EcoSport is not an exception to that at all. In fact, although the EcoSport is slotted below the Escape and is the subcompact SUV offered, there is a generous amount of cargo flexibility to enjoy when it’s time to be on the road. There is ample passenger room for five people and the cargo space to handle a run to the grocery store, or with the rear seats folded down, some small furniture that can be carried in this SUV.

When you step outside the Ford EcoSport and take a look at the qualities and appearance of this SUV, it’s unmistakably a Ford. With one of the smallest footprints in the segment and the look that you’ll admire, the EcoSport is small, active, and engaging to see. There is a swinging tailgate that’s hinged on the side instead of opening upward, and you’ll never leave the fuel cap behind because the entry to the gas tank doesn’t require a cap. When you want a small SUV that looks like it’s ready to drive, the EcoSport is one you can choose.

Items You’re Going to Admire

The Ford EcoSport will start at the S trim and brings you only a few features, but they are important. These include a rearview camera, automatic headlights, 2 USB ports, and a Sync infotainment system. Moving up to the fully loaded model you’ll enjoy the benefits of a moonroof, leather upholstery, the Sync 3 infotainment system, remote sensing keyless entry, push-button starting, reverse sensing, an eight-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alerts, a premium audio system and built-in Wi-Fi to give you more of the qualities you want to use on the road.

There are two engines you’ll find to choose from when you want to drive and both are attached to a six-speed automatic transmission. The first is a 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder that makes 123 horsepower and 125 lb.-ft. of torque to give you 27 city/29 hwy mpg and is only offered in FWD. The upgraded engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that offers you 166 horsepower and 149 lb.-ft. of torque to offer you 23 city/29 hwy mpg and is offered in the AWD layout you want if you plant to take this SUV out on the trails at all.

The new Ford EcoBoost is the first time we’ve seen Ford make its way to the subcompact SUV market and this new SUV allows us to continue to see impressive and active models offered for this class which has grown over the past couple of years. When you want to spend a little to have a small SUV, this is a great way to make this a reality for you. Come in and see the team at your nearby Ford dealership today and you’ll be ready to head out on the roads in the new EcoSport that gives you an active and affordable drive.
