If you are the parent or guardian of a first-time driver, you’re probably experiencing some bittersweet emotions about this first vehicle purchase. At Southern California Ford Dealers, our professionally trained team completely understands this range of emotions. We are committed to making this experience a memorable one - for all the right reasons.
The design, fun features, and safety innovations on the Ford EcoSport make it a perfect car for first-time drivers. Plus, it all comes at a price that won’t break your budget.
Design
The EcoSport is sporty and stylish inside and out. With two engines to choose from, you’ll have the power you need to face the journey ahead.
Available amenities like a heated steering wheel and ActiveX Seating Material are worth asking about - especially if you plan to keep your EcoSport for longer than three years. Easy seat cleanup means added convenience and better trade-in value when you’re ready.
The EcoSport grows with you! Our 60/40 split-fold rear seats allow you the versatility you’ll need to grow, providing you plenty of room for bookbags, projects, and athletic gear now. Later, you’ll find the space you need to move into your college dorm or first apartment.
Intelligent 4WD and standard Hill Start Assist give you the power and extra hand you need to feel confident on the road. Our Hill Start Assist works automatically when you transition from the brake to the accelerator, keeping you steady the whole time.
The available Cargo Management System makes short work of packing up and heading out. You’ll appreciate an adjustable rear load floor and shelf that you can use to stow your gear. Plus, if you choose the Cargo Management Package, cargo nets and organizers keep all your pieces in place and organized.
Features
When you need to load or unload, do it with ease! Our unique rear swing gate with hideaway latch swings wide for easy access to all your most important cargo.
If you need an extra dash, consider the available power moonroof. With the touch of a button, you’ll have access to blue-sky views, fresh air, and cool breezes, and sometimes that’s all you need to get the day started just right!
Ambient lighting may sound like something we took straight off a dance floor, but you’d be surprised how it can help you wind down after a long day or get excited for an important test or meeting. Choose from one of seven colors (red, blue, purple, orange, aqua, white, or yellow-green) and seven intensities. You’ll have light from front console cupholders, door release handles, front-door map pockets, and front footwells.
An available 8-inch touchscreen means you have smartphone connectivity at your fingertips. Swipe, touch, click, and pinch to zoom in navigation mode. You’ll stay in charge and in control with connections like this, no matter where you go.
Safety
Parents can have more peace of mind with Ford. We are proud that our company has invested in researching and developing some of the most innovative safety technologies available today. Our Ford Co-Pilot360 Technologies are setting the standard and giving you added confidence behind the wheel. Some safety features include:
Blind Spot Information System. When a vehicle enters your blind spot, we alert you by illuminating a small icon in the corresponding side-view mirror. You don’t have to turn your head or swivel your body to see what’s coming from behind. We can do that for you!
Cross-Traffic Alert. When you’re in reverse, our sensors alert you when there’s traffic coming from either side. Don’t inch out and stop, inch out and stop. Just ease into a clear, safe space. It’s that easy.
Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation. Keep your hands on the wheel and ask your available Navigation System to help you stay confidently on course. This system can also help you find favorite restaurants, coffee shops, and gas stations.
Ford MyKey is one other way we are keeping first-time drivers safe. This programmable keyfob encourages positive decision-making from first-time drivers, like mandating safety belt use, limiting top speeds, and decreasing audio volume.
Be sure to ask one of our professionally trained sales team members to walk you through all the safety features on your EcoSport. It could be a lifesaver!
