Detailed analysis of the Ford EcoSport Trend 1.5 TDCi 70 kW (95 CV) · 95 CV (2015-2017)
General description
The 2014 Ford EcoSport burst onto the European asphalt like a breath of fresh, adventurous air. Born in Brazil and adapted for the old continent, this compact SUV promised the ruggedness of an off-roader in a small package, perfect for the urban jungle. It was a statement of intent, a vehicle that wasn't afraid to be different and invited you to dream of faraway getaways at every traffic light.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the EcoSport with its 95-horsepower diesel engine feels like a loyal and sensible companion. It doesn't aim to take your breath away with its acceleration, but to win you over with its efficiency. Every journey becomes an exercise in smart driving, knowing that its 4.4-liter consumption is easy on your wallet. Its five-speed manual transmission is honest and direct, and although its raised chassis gives you a commanding view of traffic, its heart is in the city, where it moves with surprising agility for its appearance.
Design and aesthetics
Its aesthetic is pure emotion. The imposing front grille and, above all, the iconic spare wheel hanging from the tailgate, give it an overwhelming personality that transports you to an imaginary safari. It's a polarizing design, one you either love or don't understand, but it never goes unnoticed. The side-opening tailgate is a nod to classic off-roaders, an impractical detail in tight parking spots but one that reinforces its unique and rebellious character.
Technology and features
The technology on board the EcoSport Trend is a reflection of its philosophy: functionality over frills. You won't find giant screens or state-of-the-art assistants, but a set of tools designed to make your life easier. The electric power steering is smooth and precise in the city, and the infotainment system does its job without distractions. It's just the right amount of technology, a reminder that sometimes, to enjoy the journey, all you need is good music and the road ahead.
Competition
In a market dominated by bestsellers like the Renault Captur or the Peugeot 2008, the EcoSport played the differentiation card. While its rivals opted for smoother, more urban lines, the Ford clung to a rougher, more country-style image, attracting those drivers who were looking for a car that not only took them from point A to B, but also told a story of adventure and freedom.
Conclusion
The Ford EcoSport 1.5 TDCi is a car with a soul, a vehicle of contrasts that wraps an efficient diesel heart in an explorer's body. It's not the fastest, nor the most refined, but its unmistakable character and low consumption make it a passionate yet rational choice. It's the perfect car for those who value image and personality, a faithful companion that makes you feel different in the monotonous daily traffic.
