New Ford EcoSport Review | Ford Subcompact SUV Explained
The 2022 Ford Ecosport is back and more fun than ever. It now has all-weather capability that makes it a better pick for anyone who is seeking adventures.
The affordable SUV has plenty of technology, trim choices, and amenities to please any type of buyer. It’s certainly a good choice when you want a new SUV, but you need to keep to a budget.
With its trim figure and spacious interior, this Ecosport Ford really fits the urban lifestyle. You can expect it to easily park in smaller spaces. Yet Ford’s smallest SUV is big enough to keep your friends happy in the backseat.
In this new Ford Ecosport review, we’ll look at the trim levels, performance, amenities, technologies, and other features. Just keep scrolling to find the categories that interest you the most.
Interior Style
The dash has a dual color combination. The instrument panel combines a soft, ebony upper level and a light stone lower level. The cloth covered seats have 4-way adjustable capability plus recline and lumbar functions.
In this SUV, the driver sits up high with a commanding view of the road. It’s easier to get comfortable with the use of an armrest, a side footrest, and a tilt-telescopic steering wheel. Standard head restraints are also adjustable so you can find the most comfortable driving position.
Ford hasn’t neglected any of the basics on the Ford Ecosport for sale. There are 8 drink holders, two powerpoints, two USB ports, and a center console. Rear vents move the air to the back and keep rear seat passengers happy.
The steering wheel has duplicate controls for the audio system. It also has the controls for your cruise control system. Sync with AppLink lets you find the best entertainment and information through your LCD car screen.
When you want a Ford SUV that is easiest for a tight budget, you will really like the Ecosport S. It has everything you need to enjoy your daily commute. Instead of risking your money on a used car, you’ll be driving a brand new Ford with full warranties and a very striking, sporty demeanor.
Ecosport Trim Levels
You know what’s even more fun a budget-priced SUV? The ability to climb the trim ladder on that same new SUV in Phoenix AZ!
The SE trim wears a unique cloth upholstery and has a soft, ebony instrument panel. An SE convenience package adds a special Ebony cloth fabric with copper accents.
The front row bucket seats can be heated. The climate system adds automatic temperature controls. Drivers will appreciate the ability to start the SUV with the push of a button.
The SES is a sporty model with a special suspension. It also has special bodyside cladding, clever fog lamp bezels, painted roof rails, a distinctive rear spoiler, and a unique skid plate.
A 6-way power driver’s chair, a heated steering wheel and other amenities make the SES an especially good choice. The seats are covered in Ebony ActiveX with contrasting gray accents. There’s more safety equipment with this trim, too.
Ecosport Titanium models have chrome-infused exteriors with silver rails and other bright detailing. It has the SES amenities, but the Ecosport Titanium seats wear a dress ActiveX fabric with mini-perforation for extra breathability.
Technology
With six speakers around the cabin, the Sync 3 infotainment system is ready to entertain you. AppLink helps you find entertainment possibilities. The 8-inch touchscreen adds pinch-to-zoom functions, more voice recognition capability, SiriusXM connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The available 4G LTE Wi-Fi can be used for up to ten smart devices. FordPass Connect also allows for remote locking, unlocking, and starting. You can even schedule a remote start for this small SUV.
The Titanium has a built-in, voice-activated navigation system. Music sounds better on the 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. HD Radio adds more choices. On all models, you can get a three-month pass for SiriusXM.
Performance
The Ecosport is especially nimble and consistently responsive to the driver’s commands. The six-speed automatic transmission offers crisp shifts for the SUV’s 2.0-liter four cylinder engine. The output is a peppy 166 horsepower, plenty to keep this lightweight SUV moving.
All-wheel drive has been added as standard, and that’s great news for any Phoenix driver who has ever encountered a sandy road or parking lot. Even with AWD, the Ecosport SUV can earn 29 miles per gallon in highway driving.
If you are considering a used model, such as the 2020 Ford Ecosport SE, keep in mind that all-wheel drive may not be available. The same is true for the 2018 or 2019 Ford Ecosport SE.
Size and Utility
The large cabin has 91.1 cubic feet of passenger space. This allows it to offer a generous 36.7 inches of rear legroom.
With 50 cubic feet behind the second row, the Ecosport can haul a lot. With the seats up, the hold measures 20.5 cubic feet.
The build utilizes a swing-gate rear door. This means a wide opening when you are loading or unloading. Cargo tie-downs and cargo bags are among the standard organizational features. The SE adds a cargo management system with a package tray and adjustable shelf.
Ecosport Colors
Ecosport exterior colors include Luxe Yellow, Shadow Black, Race Red, and Diamond White. Metallic colors include Smoke, Blue, Lightning Blue, Ruby Red, Moondust Silver, and White Platinum. That’s certainly enough colors for shoppers to find a perfect shade to suit their personality.
The wheels come in painted varieties such as low-gloss magnetic, shadow silver, premium dark, and black. They are sized at 16 or 17 inches. A sport decal is available for the hood, sides, and tailgate.
The interior comes in medium stone or ebony upholstery. Ebony may be combined with a possible accent color, such as gray, orange, or silver. Fabrics include cloth, premium cloth, ActiveX, and perforated ActiveX choices.
Safety
The Ecosport is packed with 8 airbags, including knee bags for the front seat positions. LATC attachments are available for two car seats.
Drivers are assisted by AdvanceTrac, Roll Stability Control, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, and Brake Assist. Other driver assistance equipment includes the standard blind spot mirror and available blind spot monitor. Some trims also have rain-sensing wipers.
In addition, there is a rearview camera to help you back up without any difficulty. The SE adds rear parking sensors for even more protection against bumps and scratches.
Top Reasons to Choose the Ecosport
This model year, you won’t find many in this class that offer standard all-wheel drive. That’s a plus, and with the Ecosport’s low price, you are getting more value for your money.
Another reason to choose the Ecosport is that it has a very good tow capability for a subcompact SUV. It can pull up to 2,000 pounds. That’s a lot of camping and adventure equipment.
The last reason is that the Ecosport is the least expensive Ford SUV. That means you get all that value and history while paying a budget price.
Of course, the Ecosport needs to be driven to be appreciated. A test drive is definitely the best way to get to know this Ford subcompact SUV.
