At a Glance: The 2021 Ford EcoSport

September 24, 2021 · 3 min read

The 2021 EcoSport has been getting a lot of attention since it first hit the market, and for many reasons. As an SUV in the subcompact class, it has a surprisingly spacious cabin with more than enough legroom for every passenger. When you combine this with its modern tech features, comfortable seating, and two different engine options, it's easy to see why drivers are talking about the 2021 Ford EcoSport.

Impressive Performance and Towing

Whether you go for the standard turbocharged three-cylinder engine with its 123 horsepower or the optional 4-cylinder with its 166 horsepower, it's your choice. Both are matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that provides excellent and smooth transitioning between each gear. With the 4-cylinder engine, the EcoSport can tow up to 2,000 pounds, while models equipped with the 3-cylinder can haul up to 1,400 pounds. For a compact SUV, both of these towing capacities are quite impressive.

Convenience When Driving or Parked

The Intelligent 4WD feature is easily the most convenient feature available in the 2021 EcoSport. You'll never have to remember to activate this system when going off-road because it will automatically do this for you when it senses terrain changes. Also, for stargazers or those who want to feel a breeze while driving, there's an available power moonroof located just above the driver and front-row passenger seats, which can be conveniently opened with the push of a button. Opening the rear to load groceries into the vehicle is also simple, thanks to the rear swing gate. You can open it by using its hidden latch, which is cleverly blended in right next to the tail lamp.

A Spacious and Well-Designed Interior

On the inside of the vehicle, the 60/40 split seating can be folded down to free up space for cargo or flipped up if you need extra seating for passengers. With the ambient lighting option, LED lights located within the cabin, including in the door release handles and cupholders, can emit vibrant colors of your choice, giving the EcoSport its own interior mood. There's also a luxurious leather-wrapped steering wheel and a 6-way power driver's seat available, providing the front row with both style and comfort. Passengers riding in the second row will also enjoy the spacious legroom and surprisingly comfortable seating.

Safety and Entertainment Technology

Premium technology features are found throughout the vehicle and in its safety features as well. The available SYNC 3 system, which provides both entertainment and hands-free connectivity features, can be accessed on a full-color 8-inch LCD screen. There's also the 10-speaker B&O Sound System option, which is a must-have for anyone passionate about music. As for safety features, the Standard Hill Start Assist feature can help prevent roll-backs when leaving parking spaces on steep inclines. The available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) notifies you if it senses any vehicles on highways that are within close proximity of yours that you might not see. If you're looking for a capable SUV that has a spacious cabin, innovative tech options, and plenty of safety features to keep you safe, this is the vehicle for you.

Arrive in Style in the 2021 Ford Escape

When it comes to stylish SUVs, the 2021 Escape raises the bar, making it difficult for any other SUVs to compete. In addition to its roomy interior that seats up to five, it gets up to 34 miles per gallon, comes with highly advanced tech and safety features, and has a bold, sleeker look than previous editions. If you're looking for a vehicle that impresses both inside and out, here are some of the stylish features the 2021 Ford Escape has to offer. Multiple Performance Options The Escape's four engine options are one of its biggest draws for drivers. You can choose between two gas engines, a 1.5-liter, and a 2.0-liter, or go further with less fuel by opting for either the 2.5-liter hybrid or the 2.5-liter plug-in engines. Even if you decide on one of the gas engines, they come with both an Auto Start-Stop feature and EcoBoost technology, which both add up to better fuel efficiency. Traction control, pedal response, and steering can all be adjusted as needed with the multiple driving modes feature. Four standard modes (Normal, Sport, Slipper, and Eco) and an available Deep Snow/Sand mode for AWD models allow you to take on any adventure. more A Roomy and Modern Interior With 104 cubic feet of space, the Escape can seat up to five adults and still has plenty of room leftover for transporting cargo. Sliding the rear seats forward provides 37.5 cubic feet of space, while flipping the rear seat completely down adds another 28 cubic feet. If music is important to you, the available B&O premium sound system is the perfect tailor-fitted solution for listening to music in the Escape. With ten speakers powered by 575 watts throughout the cabin, both driver and passengers can easily hear and appreciate the richness of the music. Convenient Tech and Connectivity The Escape has the latest tech features integrated into it as well. With Active Park Assist 2.0, the Escape can maneuver itself both into or out of tight parking spots. While your foot is on the brake pedal, the vehicle will reverse or advance on its own with automated steering. This feature offers three different modes: Parallel, Perpendicular, and Parallel Park Out. Also, the days of having to bring your smartphone charger with you everywhere you go are over, thanks to this rather convenient feature. Within the center console, the available Wireless Charging Pad allows you to charge any compatible smartphone, and it does so quickly with up to 5W of charging power. Responsive Safety Monitoring Features The Escape's safety features are so advanced, they're almost futuristic. In every model, you'll find Ford's Co-Pilot 360 program. It includes safety features that can automatically activate high-beam headlamps in darker environments, warn you if you begin to drift out of your lane, and alert you to both vehicles in your blind spot or objects ahead of you on the road. The Speed Sign Recognition feature, which is part of Ford's Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control program, is definitely an exciting feature. While the system is on, it detects speed limit signs as you're approaching them and automatically adjusts its speed based on this input. With multiple engines to choose from, tech-integrated safety features, and a cabin that offers more than enough room and comfort for any family or group of friends, the 2021 Escape is a must-see.
