Detailed analysis of the Ford EcoSport Trend 1.5 EcoBlue 73 kW (100 CV) S&S · 99 CV (2019-2020)
General description
The 2018 Ford EcoSport presents itself as a bold bet in the competitive urban SUV segment. This version, equipped with the efficient 100-horsepower 1.5 EcoBlue diesel engine, promises a balance between economy of use and the versatility needed for the concrete jungle and weekend getaways. It is a vehicle that invites you to explore the city from a different, higher, and safer perspective.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the EcoSport conveys a sense of robustness and control. The 100 hp diesel engine, although modest in numbers, feels willing thanks to its 215 Nm of torque available at low revs, ideal for urban traffic. The six-speed manual gearbox is precise and allows you to get the best out of the engine. Its comfort-oriented suspension absorbs road irregularities well, although its height and weight of almost 1400 kg are noticeable in corners, where driving becomes more calm than sporty. It is not a car for seeking strong emotions, but for enjoying a serene and predictable journey.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the EcoSport is unmistakable. Its high and compact body, with a length of just 4.1 meters, gives it an adventurous and robust appearance. The front, dominated by a large grille, gives it an imposing presence for its size. However, it is in the rear where one of its hallmarks lies: the side-opening tailgate, an original but impractical solution in tight parking spaces. Inside, the space is adequate for four adults and the materials, although durable, do not convey a sense of luxury, but of pure, hard functionality.
Technology and features
In the technology department, this Trend version focuses on the essentials. It incorporates the Start&Stop system to improve efficiency in the city and electric power steering that facilitates maneuvering. Although it doesn't overflow with screens or latest-generation assistants like its more modern rivals, it provides what is necessary for basic connectivity and safe driving. Technology is at the service of functionality, without gimmicks that distract from the driving experience.
Competition
The Ford EcoSport faces fierce competition in the B-SUV segment. Rivals such as the SEAT Arona, the Renault Captur, or the Peugeot 2008 of the time surpass it in interior refinement, on-board technology, and, in many cases, in dynamic behavior. While the EcoSport plays the card of robustness and a differentiated aesthetic, its competitors offer more balanced and modern packages, leaving the Ford in a complicated position for those looking for the latest in design and equipment.
Conclusion
The Ford EcoSport 1.5 EcoBlue is an honest car with personality. Its greatest virtue is an economical and reliable diesel engine, wrapped in an SUV body that gives you that much-desired high driving position. However, it feels a step behind its rivals in finish quality, technology, and practical solutions like the trunk. It is a more emotional than rational purchase, for those who fall in love with its robust aesthetics and forgive its peculiarities, finding in it a faithful companion for daily life.
