Navigate Life with Agility in a New Ford EcoSport

There's a lot of talk about minimalism these days. That's because there's an understanding that more doesn't necessarily mean better. This concept applies to the Ford EcoSport, which is a subcompact SUV that enables Exton, PA area drivers to stay nimble on the road. When it comes to the maneuverability of SUVs here at Garnet Ford in West Chester, PA, the EcoSport is sprightly. If you want to save money when buying an SUV, the EcoSport could very well be the solution.

Performance

The Ford EcoSport is proof that a subcompact vehicle can serve its purpose in the most effective way possible. This SUV has a 3-cylinder engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. It has EcoBoost turbo technology that enhances the driving experience. The engine produces 123 horsepower. If you're interested in an SUV that's a bit more robust, consider upgrading to a 4-cylinder engine that generates 166 horsepower. Whether the base or upgraded engine is right for you will depend on your specific situation.

Agility is the name of the game when it comes to the EcoSport. It gets around town quite nicely, which is ideal when driving to and from work daily. It also has a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds, which is higher than what is customary for other vehicles in its class. The fuel economy for the EcoSport is 27 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Exterior

The Ford EcoSport stands out for its exterior appearance. That's because it sits higher than many other vehicles in the same class. It's also a bit more narrow than other subcompact SUVs. Don't think for a moment that the size of the EcoSport detracts from its appeal. Its grille, LED lights, and alloy wheels create an attractive aesthetic. The size of the wheels will depend on the trim level.

Safety

The MyKey system used in Ford vehicles is of great value in the EcoSport. That's because it provides a rearview camera and can monitor secondary drivers. If you're a parent with a teenager that drives and you want to promote safe driving, you'll be able to limit their audio volume. More importantly, you can limit their speed on the road as you commute to Aston, PA.

Given the importance of safety, you can add other driver aids, including rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors. If it's sprinkling outside when you're driving, the rain-sensing windshield wipers will automatically start the moment water is detected.

Interior

If you have a large family or use your vehicle to transport loved ones, the Ford EcoSport is an SUV that you should consider. The interior has an attractive design. There is up to 50 cubic feet of storage space when you fold down the rear seats. There is about 20.9 cubic feet of space when you keep the seats upright. This is generally enough room to accommodate the needs of most families.

Technology

You can engage with mobile devices in the Ford EcoSport because it has a Wi-Fi hotspot and USB ports. There's also the option to enhance your driving experience with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This will enable easy use of your smartphone while inside your vehicle. There is a 4.2-inch display in the EcoSport that has an easy-to-understand menu. There are also buttons that can be used for the infotainment system.

Trim Levels

The Ford EcoSport is great for drivers that want options because you can choose from the S, SE, SES, and Titanium trims. A step up from the base model, the SE has a steering wheel wrapped in leather, a moonroof, and SYNC 3 technology. It also has a larger touchscreen. If you want more robust enhancements, the Titanium trim will likely exceed your expectations. It has seats trimmed in leather, HD radio, and a premium sound system.
