2021 Ford EcoSport

The 2021 Ford EcoSport will offer four trim levels: S, SE, Titanium, and SES. The body of the EcoSport is boxy and compact, and it has a modern, sculpted look. Many different paint colors are available, including Diamond White, Lightning Blue Metallic, Race Red, Luxe Yellow, Ruby Red Metallic, Moondust Silver Metallic, Shadow Black, and Smoke Metallic. The EcoSport comes with a short hood, a rounded front bumper, a rear spoiler, and a curved grille with the Ford emblem in the center. It also has a small lower grille, 16-inch wheels, splash guards, all-season tires, and heated side mirrors. Other standard features include a rear windshield wiper and washer, manually folding side mirrors with integrated blind spot mirrors, all-season tires, and automatic headlights. The large acoustic windshield provides a great view and blocks road noise. Additional options include a power moonroof, a rear gate that swings open like a door, roof rails, privacy glass, heated side mirrors with turn signals, fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a windshield wiper de-icer.

Vehicles with front-wheel drive come with a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine that generates 123 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. For four-wheel-drive vehicles, choose the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder motor. It creates 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque. Both are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and a manual mode.

The 2021 Ford EcoSport is ideal for driving in urban areas. It's available with a Sport mode, letting you increase the engine's power at the cost of a bit of fuel efficiency. The EcoSport can haul up to 2,000 pounds, and it has an independent suspension and speed-sensing power steering. Both engines turn off automatically when you stop in traffic to save fuel and prevent idling. Electronics like the infotainment system and the sound system will stay on to keep you comfortable. You can travel 27 mpg in urban areas and 29 mpg on the highway. With four-wheel drive, you'll get 23 mpg in traffic and the same mileage on the open road.

This SUV includes a six-speaker sound system, a Wi-Fi hot spot, keyless entry with an external keypad, and voice activation. Other options include a six-way power driver's seat, remote start, heated leather seats, a heated leather steering wheel, and SiriusXM satellite radio.

The EcoSport's safety features include electronic stability control with anti-roll programming and a security system with an engine immobilizer. It also has 10 airbags to protect you and your passengers, emergency braking assistance, and a rearview camera. You can add a blind spot information system and rear parking sensors.
