2019 Ford EcoSport SES features and specs

The EcoSport is
the smallest model in the burgeoning lineup of Ford SUVs, and the latest model
looks quite different from the first-generation that was sold in Brazil from
2003. The second-generation, however, is the one that really put the model on
the map in Europe and elsewhere. The current 2019 model is a refreshed
second-generation version of the compact SUV, and it's sold here in the US in
four different trim levels. The first three versions are familiar Ford fare,
the S, SE and the Titanium trim levels, but the highest model in the range is
now the Ford EcoSport SES, and it's the 2019 Ford EcoSport SES we're
going to look at here in a little more detail.
Exterior styling
If the Titanium
occupies the mantle of being the top of the range in terms of comfort and
luxury, the SES is the model for those who put style and performance at the top
of their list of priorities. In terms of exterior styling, that means body-color
door handles, an upper grille with black painted bars and surround, fog lights,
black roof rails, and bold black SES exterior details. This is a compact
crossover that doesn’t copy the styling of any of its rivals. And even though
it's heavily based on the Fiesta, only its compact proportions really give the
game away in that direction.
Powertrain
A lot of Fords
in recent years have offered almost as many engine options as trim levels, but
not the 2019 EcoSport. In this case, all models, including the SES, use the
same engine. The unit in question is a good one though, which is the world-renowned
three-cylinder EcoBoost 1.6-liter turbo, mated to a six-speed automatic
transmission. It only develops a seemingly modest 123 horsepower and 125
lb.-ft. of torque, but don’t underestimate it because this is a compact SUV vehicle
that doesn’t need a huge engine.
The EcoSport
drives and handles well in all its forms, but this SES takes things a little
bit further. In fact, a quick glimpse at some of the standard features tell you
much of what you need to know about in this direction. An intelligent all-wheel
drive system, torque vectoring control, traction control, ABS brakes all-round,
and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control are all standard, and make this one
of the best-handing vehicles in its class.
Features and equipment
In its SES trim
level, the EcoSport comes very nicely equipped with comfort and convenience
kit. It all starts off with climate control and includes a heated steering
wheel, a power moonroof with sunshade, two 12-volt power points, automatic
headlights, push-button start with intelligent access, and special SES sport
seating and trim-exclusive interior trim. It doesn’t get the premium sound and
navigation system of the Titanium, but it does get the Sync3 system with 8-inch
color touchscreen, navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, seven speakers, and
FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot.
