Detailed analysis of the Ford EcoSport Active 1.0 EcoBoost 92 kW (125 CV) · 125 CV (2020-2023)
General description
The Ford EcoSport Active is the swan song of a pioneer, an urban SUV that dresses up for adventure in its final stage. With the heart of the award-winning 1.0 EcoBoost 125-horsepower engine, it seeks to win over those who long for a robust car with personality, an alternative to the more conventional proposals in the saturated B-SUV segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the EcoSport conveys a sense of agility inherited from its utility car origins, but with the confidence provided by a high driving position. The three-cylinder engine is energetic and responds briskly in the city, although on the open road and under load, it feels like it has to work hard. Its six-speed manual transmission is precise and pleasant, inviting you to play with it. It's not a sports car, but its driving is honest and direct, a reminder of an era when the connection with the car was more mechanical and less filtered.
Design and aesthetics
The 'Active' trim suits it wonderfully, giving it a muscularity that conceals the passage of time. The plastic protections, specific wheels, and increased ground clearance give it a country spirit that is love at first sight. However, its interior betrays its age, with hard plastics and a design that, although functional, feels from another generation. The side-opening tailgate is its most characteristic feature and, at the same time, its biggest drawback in daily urban life, a detail that makes it unique but impractical.
Technology and features
Ford knew how to keep the essentials up to date. The SYNC infotainment system, with its touchscreen compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, performs its function effectively and simply. It is an oasis of modernity in a rather analog cabin. However, the more advanced driving aids that its younger rivals offer as standard are missing. It is functional and proven technology, without frills or complications, for those who value the simple and effective.
Competition
The battle in the urban jungle is fierce. The EcoSport Active faces titans like the SEAT Arona, the Peugeot 2008, or the Renault Captur. These rivals surpass it in modernity, interior space, efficiency, and technological load. Its fight is not to be the best in numbers, but to be different, to offer a rougher character and a more traditional driving experience that may be precisely what some drivers miss.
Conclusion
The Ford EcoSport Active is a more passionate than rational purchase. It is a car with a soul, a small adventurer that refuses to disappear without leaving a mark. Its engine is capable and its aesthetics are attractive, but it carries the limitations of an aging platform. It is the perfect choice for those who have fallen in love with its design and value an unfiltered driving experience, forgiving its shortcomings in space and technology in exchange for a character that is no longer easily found on the market.
