The SUV universe is vast, but not all those who live up to the name — it's not enough to look, it's necessary to be. A feature that the Ford EcoSport since it hit the market, and with its last update, one side has gotten stronger.
It wasn't just the revised lines that denounced it, which were simultaneously more dynamic and robust. The ground clearance has increased, contributing to greater ease when we leave the asphalt.
Its practical character has also been reinforced, which can be seen on the cargo floor, now allowing three heights - when in the highest position and with the rear seats folded down, the cargo floor is completely flat, facilitating the transport of objects. larger dimensions, featuring a maximum capacity of 1238 l.
Do they live in places with harsh winters? The Ford EcoSport has the right equipment for maximum comfort: heated seats on three levels, heated steering wheel and mirrors, as well as a windshield equipped with the Quickclear system, by incorporating ultra-thin filaments that heat up quickly — it not only helps defog but also it even contributes to its defrosting. Result? The Ford EcoSport is ready to ride much faster than usual.
Engines
The Ford EcoSport is characterized by covering a wide range of needs, thanks to a complete range of engines and equipment lines.
All engines already meet the most stringent Euro6D-TEMP emission standards. Among the available engines we can find the multi-winner EcoBoost (petrol) 1.0 l, with 100 hp, 125 hp and 140 hp.
For those who hoard kilometers and kilometers, the Ecosport has a four-cylinder diesel engine with 1.5 l capacity and 100 hp of power. Consumption and CO2 emissions stand at 4.6 l/100 km and 130 g/km, respectively.
Four levels of equipment
They are four levels of equipment available on the Ford EcoSport: Business, Titanium Plus, ST-Line Plus and ST-Line Black Edition — and all of them generous in the range of equipment and technology available.
In any of them we find, among others, LED daytime running lights, electric folding mirrors, armrest, electric rear windows, air conditioning, My Key system, or the SYNC3 system, compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, always with a screen 8″, rear parking sensors and cruise control with limiter.
Titanium Plus adds automatic headlights and wipers, partially leather upholstery, automatic air conditioning, alarm and FordPower button; and the ST-Line Plus, like the ST-Line Black Edition, adds the contrasting roof and 17-inch wheels.
There is more. Optionally, the Ford EcoSport also has a rear vision camera, a blind spot warning in the rearview mirror and a premium sound system from B&O Play — developed and calibrated “made to measure” for the EcoSport. The system features a DSP amplifier with four distinct speaker types, and 675W of power for a surround environment.
Technology at the service of security
In technology, the highlight goes to SYNC3, Ford's infotainment system. It not only guarantees the desired connectivity, but even security, by incorporating an Emergency Assistance function. In the event of a collision where the front airbags are deployed, the SYNC3 system automatically calls the local emergency services, providing information such as GPS coordinates.
