General description
The 2018 Ford EcoSport presents itself as a breath of fresh air in the urban jungle. It's not just a compact SUV; it's a statement of intent for those seeking a high driving position and the agility of a small car. This version, with the award-winning 125 HP 1.0 EcoBoost engine and a smooth automatic gearbox, promises a perfect balance between efficiency and everyday comfort.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the EcoSport conveys a sense of control and safety. The three-cylinder engine pushes with surprising energy and a characteristic sound that is captivating, although the torque converter automatic transmission prioritizes smoothness over sportiness. Its acceleration is adequate for real-life situations, without any sudden jolts. In the city, it feels right at home, agile and easy to maneuver, while on the open road, it offers a confidence-inspiring poise, inviting you to devour miles with remarkable comfort for its size.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is unmistakable and full of character. With a generous height and robust lines, it projects the image of a small adventurer. The front end, updated in this version, gives it a more serious look, aligned with its range siblings. But its most personal and controversial feature is the side-opening tailgate, a nod to classic off-roaders that, while original, requires space to open. It's a car that leaves no one indifferent; you either love or hate its personality.
Technology and features
Under the hood lies the crown jewel: the 1.0 EcoBoost engine, an engineering marvel that combines direct injection and a turbo to offer lively performance with low fuel consumption. The 6-speed automatic transmission, though conventional, is a perfect ally for forgetting about stress in traffic jams. Inside, the technology focuses on functionality, with an infotainment system that does its job without complications, allowing the driving experience to always take center stage.
Competition
The EcoSport is not dancing alone in the urban SUV segment. It competes with titans like the Renault Captur, the Peugeot 2008, and the SEAT Arona. Against them, the Ford plays the card of robustness and a driving feel very characteristic of the brand. While its rivals opt for more fluid designs or more digital interiors, the EcoSport offers a tougher personality and a unique trunk solution that sets it apart from the rest.
Conclusion
The automatic Ford EcoSport 1.0 EcoBoost is a faithful and characterful companion. It is the perfect choice for those who value a high driving position, an energetic and efficient engine, and the comfort of an automatic transmission in daily traffic. It is not the most spacious or the most avant-garde in its class, but its unique character and mechanical reliability make it a smart and emotionally appealing option for conquering the city and escaping it when the opportunity arises.
