2021 Ford EcoSport

The base powertrain of the 2021 Ford EcoSport consists of a turbocharged 123-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Thanks in no small measure to the auto start-stop technology that eliminates engine idling, you can expect impressive fuel efficiency. The new Ford EcoSport offers an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Winneconne, WI drivers who want a boost in acceleration will appreciate the top-of-the-line EcoSport SES model. The SES sports a 166-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which also has an auto start-stop function. Although front-wheel drive comes standard on the Ford EcoSport, you have the option of getting an all-wheel-drive system for better performance on slippery surfaces.

With a passenger volume of 91.1 cubic feet and a cargo hold measured at 20.9 cubic feet, the 2021 Ford EcoSport provides more interior space than most other subcompact crossover vehicles. The rear seats can fold down to maximize cargo space at 50 cubic feet.

The Ford EcoSport starts with two rows of cloth-trimmed seats. If you go with the SE model, Ford adds heating capability on the front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the cloth material for both rows comes upgraded. Six-way power adjustability on the driver's seat and ActiveX synthetic-leather seat upholstery get introduced at the Titanium trim level and extend to the SES, which gains steering-wheel heating.

For infotainment, the 2021 Ford EcoSport relies on the SYNC communications system, which brings together six speakers, an AM/FM radio tuner, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a pair of USB ports for playing media from mobile devices, and a 4.2-inch screen. At the SE trim level, the 4.2-inch screen gets replaced by an 8-inch touchscreen interface. A trial subscription to SiriusXM Radio and smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay also get added.

Additionally, comfort and convenience get boosted with the appearance of a power moonroof, automatic climate controls, and a proximity keyless entry system with a push-button start function for much easier access and engine start. For the ultimate entertainment experience, go with the new EcoSport Titanium model, which tops off with a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and an HD Radio receiver. Also worthy of note, the auto-dimming rearview mirror on the Titanium and SES reduces headlight glare.

For driver assistance, the 2021 Ford EcoSport comes with Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite, which consists of automatic high beams, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Also standard, a rearview camera with rear parking sensors produces a video image when reversing to avoid bumping into anything. If the vehicle senses a crash, the EcoSport can deploy driver- and front passenger-side knee airbags, two frontal impact airbags, two front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, or two roof-mounted side curtain airbags to provide restraint and cushioning.

Accompanying the eight-airbag system, an SOS post-crash alert system activates emergency assistance. Front parking sensors come with the rearview camera of the SE and higher, and a blind-spot information system with rear cross-traffic alert gets introduced for additional driver safety aid.
