Detailed analysis of the Ford EcoSport Trend 1.5 Ti-VCT 82 kW (112 CV) PowerShift · 111 CV (2015-2017)
General description
The 2014 Ford EcoSport burst onto the scene as a promise of urban adventure. Conceived as a global vehicle, this compact SUV invites you to see the city from a higher, bolder perspective, merging the practicality of a utility vehicle with the spirit of an explorer.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the EcoSport with its 111-horsepower 1.5 Ti-VCT engine and PowerShift automatic transmission offers a serene and uncomplicated driving experience. Don't look for seat-pinning acceleration; its heart beats at a calm pace, ideal for daily traffic and relaxed getaways. The dual-clutch transmission smooths out every shift, making each journey a constant flow, while its high driving position gives you a sense of control and security that is appreciated in the urban jungle.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is a statement of intent. With considerable height and the iconic spare wheel mounted on the tailgate, it evokes an almost exotic robustness. This side-opening tailgate is a distinctive feature that, although full of character, can be a challenge in tight parking spaces. Inside, the cabin is functional and familiar, inherited from the Fiesta, but with a sense of space amplified by the height. It's a car that doesn't go unnoticed.
Technology and features
Technologically, the EcoSport held its own in its time with Ford's SYNC connectivity system, which allowed for voice control of functions, and the advanced PowerShift dual-clutch gearbox. Although its screens and systems may seem modest today, at the time it represented a step forward in the democratization of technology in the B-SUV segment. The electric power steering with its speed sensitivity contributes to excellent maneuverability.
Competition
In a bustling market, the EcoSport competed against giants like the Nissan Juke, with its polarizing design, the best-selling Renault Captur, and the balanced Peugeot 2008. Against them, the Ford opted for a more global and adventurous image, trying to be the small SUV with the soul of an off-roader, a different proposal that sought to win over an audience yearning for more than just a simple city car.
Conclusion
The Ford EcoSport is a car with a very strong personality. It is the ideal companion for those who value a high driving position and a robust aesthetic without needing sporty performance. Its everyday practicality is undeniable, although certain design details, like its tailgate, require an adaptation period. It is a sincere and different option that transports you with comfort and a touch of audacity.
