Detailed analysis of the Ford EcoSport Titanium 1.5 TDCi 90 · 90 CV (2015)
General description
The 2014 Ford EcoSport burst onto the market as a bold and different proposal in the nascent urban SUV segment. With an adventurous spirit encapsulated in a compact format, this car promised the versatility of an off-roader with the agility needed to conquer the concrete jungle. It is a vehicle that does not go unnoticed, designed for those who seek to stand out and feel freedom on every journey.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 90-horsepower diesel engine feels willing and sufficient for daily use, though without sporting pretensions. Its 205 Nm of torque at low revs gives it a pleasant response in the city. The five-speed manual gearbox is precise and connects you with the driving. Despite its height, the suspension controls body roll well, offering a balanced compromise between comfort and stability, conveying a sense of security and command on the road.
Design and aesthetics
The EcoSport's design is, without a doubt, its most characteristic and controversial feature. Its imposing front end and high body give it a robust look, but it is the spare wheel mounted on the side-opening tailgate that defines its personality. This detail, inherited from large off-roaders, gives it an exotic touch, although it is impractical in the city. Inside, the space is adequate and the materials, although mostly hard plastics, convey solidity.
Technology and features
In its Titanium trim, the EcoSport offered a decent technological equipment for its time. It featured Ford's SYNC connectivity system, which allowed for voice-controlled functions, and comfort elements such as automatic climate control or keyless entry and start. However, the small screen of the multimedia system and the abundance of buttons on the center console reveal its age compared to current interfaces.
Competition
At its launch, the Ford EcoSport faced well-established and popular rivals such as the Renault Captur, the Peugeot 2008, or the Nissan Juke. While its competitors opted for more fluid and European designs, the EcoSport played the card of robustness and a more global, almost off-road style, to differentiate itself in an increasingly competitive segment.
Conclusion
The 2014 Ford EcoSport is a car with a strong personality, a more emotional than rational choice. Its distinctive design and high driving position are its main assets to charm buyers. Although its engine is modest and its practicality is questionable in some aspects, it offers a fresh and different alternative for those looking for a small SUV that stands out from the ordinary and adds a dose of adventure to the daily routine.
