Ready? Set? Go!

Fuel-Efficient Performance 

The Ford EcoSport can get you where you’re going and you’ll enjoy the drive. The standard 2.0L Ti-VCT I4 engine works with a 6-speed automatic transmission to generate 166 horsepower. Standard Intelligent 4WD (4-wheel drive) gives you traction when you need it and efficiency when you don’t.

To help you maintain good fuel economy, the 2.0L engine comes with Auto Start-Stop Technology. This tech shuts off the engine when you’re sitting at a light to save fuel and kicks it back on when you’re ready to go again.

The available sports-tuned suspension aids your drive, so you can have a comfortable ride even when handling uneven roads or curves.

Interior Features

The EcoSport has room for five on comfortable standard cloth seats or available ActiveX™ Seating Material, which gives you the look of leather. The available electronic temperature control lets you set a temperature and the EcoSport takes care of maintaining it.

For those interested in enjoying tech inside their SUV, the EcoSport has it. An available SYNC® 3 infotainment system offers smartphone compatibility, available in-vehicle navigation, and the ability to make calls hands-free. Your passengers can also make use of the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot built into your EcoSport.

Safety and Driver-Assist Tech

The EcoSport is a safe SUV, keeping an eye on the road with its driver-assistance technology, all of which is part of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology suite.

Some of its features include:

• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Hill Start Assist
• Available Rear Parking Sensors

The BLIS® helps monitor your vehicle’s blind spots via radar. It warns you if a car is in your blind spot when you start to change lanes. The Cross-Traffic Alert feature is useful when pulling out of driveways or parking spaces by keeping an eye out for traffic coming from the left or the right.

Rear Parking Sensors are a great tool to inform you how close you are to another vehicle or obstacle when in reverse. The closer you get to another object, the faster the beeps. Nail those parallel parking spots with ease!

Hill Start Assist is a great feature when you're stopped on a hill. It prevents you from rolling backward when switching your foot from the brake to the gas.
