Detailed analysis of the Ford EcoSport Titanium S 1.0 EcoBoost 103 kW (140 CV) · 140 CV (2016-2017)
General description
The 2014 Ford EcoSport burst onto the urban SUV scene as a bold and characterful proposition. With its 140 HP 1.0 EcoBoost engine in the Titanium S trim, it not only promised agility in the city but also an adventurous spirit reflected in every line of its design, inviting an escape from the routine.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the EcoSport feels surprisingly energetic. The small three-cylinder engine pushes with unexpected joy from low revs, turning every traffic light into a small dose of fun. Its 5-speed manual transmission connects you to the drive, although a sixth gear is missed on the highway. The suspension is firm, inspiring confidence in corners without being uncomfortable, and its high driving position gives you a sense of command over the urban asphalt.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is, without a doubt, its most emotional and controversial feature. The spare wheel mounted on the tailgate is a statement of intent, a nod to pure off-roaders that gives it a unique personality. This same side-opening tailgate is impractical in tight parking spaces but adds an exotic touch. Inside, the dashboard may seem a bit cluttered with buttons by today's standards, but everything is within reach and conveys a sense of robustness.
Technology and features
Technologically, the EcoSport focused on the essentials for its time. The heart of the package is its award-winning EcoBoost engine, a small engineering gem with direct injection and a turbo. Beyond the engine, it had electric power steering and the expected active and passive safety systems, but without the advanced driver-assistance systems we see today. It was a more analog car, focused on the pure driving experience.
Competition
In a competitive market, the EcoSport faced giants like the Renault Captur, the Peugeot 2008, and the Nissan Juke. While its rivals opted for softer, more urban designs or greater interior modularity, the Ford played the card of robustness and off-road appearance, seeking a driver who not only wanted a practical car but also one that told a story of adventure.
Conclusion
The Ford EcoSport Titanium S is a car with a soul, a passionate rather than a rational choice. You either fall in love with its distinctive aesthetics and lively engine, or you dismiss it for its quirks like the tailgate. It is an ideal companion for those seeking a compact vehicle with a strong personality, one that feels as comfortable in the concrete jungle as on a weekend getaway, offering an honest and fun driving experience.
