Ford EcoSport








The city offers plenty of challenges for an urban SUV. Potholes, burst water pipes, high gutters. In a car you might slow down or go in another direction. In the new EcoSport you just keep going.


Go where you want to go

Like any SUV, an urban SUV is about getting you where you need to go. The EcoSport puts 200mm of ground clearance between you and the road, potholes, ditches or whatever else is in your way. Add good approach and departure angles and 550mm water wading capability and you’re pretty much ready for anything.


All the right moves

You want an SUV but your life is in the city. That’s why the EcoSport is the perfect fit. Its city-sized design makes it easy to park and get around crowded city streets. Its SUV capabilities let you go places you wouldn’t normally go – in the city or on the open road.



Inside the EcoSport, you’ll find clever design that makes the most of every bit of space. You’ll also find a range of features that helps you stay safe, in control and in-touch. Together, they let you pack more into your life and your EcoSport.


You talk. Things happen.

There’s voice control and then there’s SYNC®. It seamlessly connects you and your EcoSport with your Bluetooth® and USB devices so life goes on while you drive, safely. Just say the words and SYNC does the rest. Dial home. Read-out text messages. Browse and select music tracks. Even if you’re on a call when it’s time to get in or out of your EcoSport, just keep talking. SYNC automatically switches you between your handset and car.























Smart storage

Having enough space is one thing. How well you use it is another. The 20 storage spaces inside the EcoSport offer some unexpected surprises. The glovebox can also be a cooler, using the air conditioning to keep your drinks just right. A slide-out drawer under the front seat keeps valuables safely out of sight. Even your umbrella has its own space.



Space that grows

When we say the EcoSport is right-sized, we’re not just talking about how easy it is to drive in the city. We’re also talking about how much room it gives you inside. Fold-down the 60:40 rear seats and you can fit a 560-litre washing machine in the back. Just think of all the fun things you can take along for the ride.





































The EcoSport’s engineering and design is all about giving you more of what you need, and less of what you don’t. Big fuel bills and CO₂ emissions are out. Unbeatable fuel economy and responsive power are in.




Fuel economy of a 1 litre

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better combination of fuel economy and power than the turbocharged 1.0 liter EcoBoost. This innovative petrol engine uses up to 20% less fuel than a traditional 1.6 liter petrol engine, yet still delivers the power you’d expect of a 1.6, with full torque at just 1500rpm.





Power like a 1.6

When it comes to power, the turbocharged 1 litre EcoBoost can compete with a traditional 1.6 litre petrol engine, delivering full torque at just 1500rpm. That’s a lot of power in an economical 3 cylinder footprint. But that’s what makes it so exceptional.(A diesel engine is also available.)
