Ford EcoSport Action

Ford EcoSport Action

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2022-09-30

Test-driving the new Ford EcoSport was an excellent opportunity to explore the long list of features and options that the new EcoSport offers. However this endearing model from Ford had other ideas.

I very quickly got used to the convenience of the keyless entry and push button start, and the convenience features just kept coming. The headlights are automated and can turn themselves on, puddle lamps illuminate the sidewalk next your EcoSport and the wing mirrors can fold away at the touch of a button. The features just go on with convenience like Hill Launch Assist and Rear Parking Sensors and safety features like Electronic Stability Control and Roll Stability Control. I was enjoying driving this small car and every kilometre I drove added to my appreciation of the extreme value added benefits the EcoSport offered.

Taking the technical level up a notch with Fords SYNC3 system and the 8-inch touchscreen3 opens up a world of connectivity and automated climate control air conditioning will keep you and your passengers cool on a hot day and warm in the cold. With all that convenience and automation all I had to do was drive, and with the 1.5-litre Ti-VCT 3-cylinder petrol engine driving was a pleasure. A balanced chassis and suspension with sharp brakes lead me to appreciate the value proposition that the new Ford EcoSport offers even further.
