The New 2021 Ford EcoSport

In the market for a fun subcompact SUV? Check out the New 2021 Ford EcoSport. If you're always on the go, you'll appreciate EcoSport's capable engine and stylish interior. Plus, its intelligent technology is designed to keep you connected (and hands-free). Read on for a thorough Ford EcoSport review before visiting your local Ford dealership in Junction City, KS.

Feel-Good Driving and Ample Cargo

The 2021 Ford EcoSport is ideal for every day, care-free driving. This is due to its sporty performance and available intelligent 4WD. There are two engines to choose from. The standard turbocharged 1.0-liter EcoBoost with direct injection delivers more than enough power to get where you're going. For enhanced handling on all road conditions, consider leveling up. There's an available 2.0L Ti-VCT engine that offers impressive ability.

Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. If you're a fan of driving on winding roads, that is where the EcoSport shines its brightest. If you're looking for an SUV with extra room, the EcoSport is it. Pack even more or bring more friends along thanks to its 60/40 flip-up and split-fold-flat rear sears. You can customize your storage thanks to Ford's available cargo management system, which is standard on the SE model and above. The EcoSport can seat up to five people for a comfortable ride.

Exterior and Interior Style

Wherever you're headed, the EcoSport is sure to be a crowd pleaser with its available ambient lighting and a power moonroof. The unique rear swing gate is sure to turn heads, as are the available halogen projector headlamps and LED lighting. If you live in a city, you'll appreciate that the rear swing gate makes loading the vehicle from the sidewalk much easier. The EcoSport was designed to look great while providing capable features for everyday driving.

The available SE appearance package adds even more flair. It adds shadow silver aluminum wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 6-way power driver's seat. There are also unique orange accents on the instrument panel and cloth seating. If practicality is what you're after, there are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for both rear outbound seats. The back middle seat also features a tether anchor for car seats.

Capable Technology

Some of the EcoSport's upgrades include seven energetic speakers, ambient lighting, and a 110V power outlet. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, an 8-inch color LCD touchscreen are also available, as are smart apps such as Ford+Alexa. The EcoSport also utilizes Ford MyKey technology, which allows parents to control speed and audio volume limits. You can encourage any teenage drivers to drive more responsibly with these restricted driving settings.

Advanced Safety Features

Ford's Co-Pilot360 features are designed to help you command the road with confidence. The available blind spot information system (BLIS) helps detect and alert you to vehicles that are in blind spots. If you're backing out of a parking spot or driveway, the cross-traffic alert detects any traffic behind your SUV.

With the available reverse-sensing system, you can back up with faith. If you're near an object, the vehicle emits a series of beeps which accelerate as the object becomes closer. The voice-activated touchscreen navigation system helps you stay on course by allowing you to control features with the sound of your voice. You can also search for the nearest coffee shops and gas stations without lifting a finger.

Trim Levels

The 2021 Ford EcoSport is available in four trim levels: S, SE, Titanium, and SES. The best value is arguably the SE, as it includes an upgraded infotainment system with comfort features such as a moonroof and heated front seats.

EcoSport S

The S model is Ford's standard trim and comes with a 4.2-in display SYNC infotainment system, a Wi-Fi hot spot, six speakers, and two USB ports. A rearview camera, Ford MyKey technology, a four-way manually adjustable driver's seat, and cloth upholstery, are also standard.

EcoSport SE

Next up is the SE trim, which builds off the S model's features, adding an 8-in touch screen display, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Also included on the EcoSport SE are heated front seats, push-button start, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, automatic climate control, and rear parking sensors. This trim also comes standard with a moonroof and fog lights.

EcoSport Titanium

The top-of-the-line EcoSport Titanium features a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen speaker system, a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, HD radio, and leather-trimmed upholstery. The Titanium trim features body enhancements such as chrome exterior trim and body-color bumpers.

EcoSport SES

The SES is the sportiest EcoSport model, adding a more robust engine and all-wheel-drive. It also features navigation, a sport-tuned suspension, and a seven-speaker audio system. This model also comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels. Ambient lighting, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rain-sensing windshield wipers are also included.
