2018 Ford EcoSport

While the SUV
market is continuing to grow in North America, miniature versions of the once
popular beastly automobile are beginning to take over. Who better to welcome to
market the newest in fun, capable and connected Compact SUV’s than Ford? Say
hello to our new little friend the 2018 EcoSport
New to North America
While it has been
available in the Asian market for some time, the rise of the EcoSports fame
overseas inspired the automaker to bring the crossover to North America.
Small But Mighty
One of the few vehicles
to be introduced in a small, but mighty way – through Snapchat, the EcoSport is
a mini, but mighty vehicle that is offered with either a 1.0-liter
three-cylinder or a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with lots of optional
features. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel
drive is standard, with all-wheel-drive being available with the 2.0-liter
engine.
The sporty SES EcoSport trim features intelligent all-wheel-drive, a
sport-tuned suspension, sport seats, copper interior accents, and more.
Abundance of Space
A vehicle like this
often gives the impression of limited space, but this isn’t the case with the
2018 EcoSport. With as many as 30 stowage pockets, bins, hooks and a cargo
management system at the rear, which features a movable floor board and
fold-away second-row seats to provide a flat area for moving furniture and
other larger items, you couldn’t ask for a more capable mini-SUV model.
Capable and Connected
Ford’s new mini-SUV is
not only mighty, but connected. Featuring two fast-charging USB ports to ensure
owners’ devices are always juiced. An available 110-volt outlet is also positioned
behind the center console and another 12-volt outlet allows rear-seat
passengers to stay plugged in as well. Like many Ford models, the newest
edition in mini SUV’s also includes Ford’s SYNC 3 communications and
entertainment system. Faster, more intuitive and easier to use, the system
provides more conversational voice recognition and enhanced response to driver
commands.
Optimized for hands-free use, SYNC 3 for EcoSport is coupled with a touch
screen that gives front-row passengers easy access to operate available Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto commands, and B&O PLAY audio settings.
This system even enables the driver with the ability to
start, lock, unlock and locate their vehicle from almost anywhere using available
SYNC Connect with FordPass mobile app. The use of this app gives owners the
opportunity to view vehicle information, such as the fuel level and odometer
reading, when not in the vehicle.
While the 2018
EcoSport has yet to roll onto the showroom floor, keep a close eye on our
inventory, or give us a call to be the first in line for the soon to be
widespread mini-SUV.
