Detailed analysis of the Ford EcoSport Trend 1.0 EcoBoost 92 kW (125 CV) S&S Aut. · 125 CV (2019-2020)
General description
The 2018 Ford EcoSport is the brand's entry into the vibrant compact SUV segment, a vehicle that promises the agility of a city car with the adventurous spirit of an off-roader. Equipped with the award-winning 125-horsepower 1.0 EcoBoost engine and a comfortable automatic transmission, it presents itself as a practical and characterful solution for the concrete jungle, without giving up occasional getaways.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the EcoSport conveys an immediate sense of safety and control thanks to its high driving position, which allows you to dominate traffic. The three-cylinder engine is surprisingly lively and energetic, moving the car with an ease you wouldn't expect from its displacement. The torque converter automatic gearbox smooths out every journey, making traffic jams less tedious. It's not a sports car, but its agility is more than enough for daily use. The suspension aims for comfort, although it can sometimes feel a bit harsh, reminding you of its robust nature.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is unmistakably bold and muscular. With a considerable height and short overhangs, it projects an image of strength that sets it apart from its competitors. The side-opening tailgate is a unique personality trait, a nod to classic 4x4s that is charming, though impractical in tight parking spaces. This 2018 update modernized its front end, aligning it with the Ford family, and significantly improved the perceived quality of an interior that now feels more coherent and tidy.
Technology and features
In its Trend trim, the EcoSport focuses on offering functional and uncomplicated technology. Although it may not have the largest screens of its range siblings, it covers the essentials in connectivity. The real technological gem lies in its mechanics: the 1.0 EcoBoost engine is a work of engineering with direct injection, a turbo, and a Start&Stop system to optimize consumption. The six-speed automatic transmission is another technological pillar that defines the experience, providing a superior level of comfort and refinement in urban driving.
Competition
The EcoSport faces fierce competition in the B-SUV segment. Models like the SEAT Arona, Renault Captur, or Peugeot 2008 often surpass it in interior refinement, space, and practical solutions. The Nissan Juke has always been the king of aesthetic originality, while options like the Hyundai Kona or Kia Stonic attack with a value-for-money proposition and warranties that are hard to match. The EcoSport fights back with its robust aesthetics and the well-tuned chassis, a Ford hallmark, but it feels a step behind more modern and polished alternatives.
Conclusion
The Ford EcoSport is a car with an honest heart and a very strong character. It is a faithful companion for the city that makes you feel safe and protected. However, it is a vehicle of light and shadow: its adventurous soul clashes with its front-wheel drive, and its practicality is diminished by a small trunk and that peculiar tailgate. It is a more emotional than rational purchase, ideal for those who fall in love with its aesthetics and value its driving position, but which is objectively surpassed by a more complete and balanced competition.
