2020 Ford EcoSport

The 2020 Ford EcoSport is available in four distinct trims: S, SE, SES, and Titanium. Despite its affordable price and the fact that it is the base model, the S trim comes with many exterior features, such as 16-inch alloy wheels, a rearview camera, automatic headlights, and integrated blind-spot mirrors, among others. Other trims bring even more exterior items, like LED running lights, fog lights, body-colored exterior accents, rood rails, a windshield wiper de-icer, rear parking sensors, a sunroof, bigger wheels, a rear spoiler, chrome exterior trim, and metallic bumper accents. The SES trim also has a special Black Appearance Package that adds a black spoiler, roof, and hood decal. Most of the options available on higher trims can be added to the base trim, allowing you to configure your car according to your needs.

The standard engine on the 2020 Ford EcoSport is a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder with 123 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. those who feel they need a little more power can opt for the second engine, which is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with up to 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. Both engines are paired with an automatic 6-speed transmission.

The 2020 Ford EcoSport is designed for economy and comfort rather than sporty driving and acceleration but still manages to reach a speed of 60 miles per hour from a complete standstill in a respectable time of 11.4 seconds. Its more relevant performance indicators are, however, the great affordability, excellent comfort levels, and economical fuel consumption.

The interior comfort of the 2020 Ford EcoSport is enhanced by its good insulation, that manages to block most of the road, wind, and engine noises coming from the outside. The cabin is roomier than it may seem from the outside and built with quality and soft to touch materials. Infotainment functions are handled via an 8-inch touch screen with the Sync 3 interface. Smartphone connectivity is easily achievable through Apple Carplay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB ports. It also comes with a standard 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing you to have a solid internet connection on your travels.

Safety is a top priority for most drivers and any modern SUV needs to have excellent active and passive safety systems. The 2020 Ford Eco Sport comes with many driver aids meant to help the driver notice and avoid any imminent danger. Among those, the most useful are the integrated blind-spot monitors, that reduce blind spot by using a smaller and specially angled mirror, the rearview camera that displays an image of the area behind the rear bumper, and the blind spot information system that alerts the driver if a vehicle managed to sneak into the EcoSport's blind spot.
