Ford EcoSport

If you’re about to purchase a car, why not make sure it’s environmentally friendly and economical? It makes all the sense in the world: your car affects the environment from when you step on the accelerator till you turn off the engine. Reduce your carbon footprint while driving in comfort and style in a Ford EcoSport.

Redesigned with the environment in mind

The EcoSport brings Ford’s commitment to the environment to the forefront while giving you all the benefits of performance and safety. While fuel prices continue to climb, this crossover SUV boasts a respectable 30 MPG, saving you the hassle of extra trips to the pump. 

The standard 2.0L engine is supported by a four-cylinder, 6-speed automatic transmission and variable 123 horsepower. Ford’s EcoSport offers you the fuel efficiency you desire without affecting the power and performance you need on the road. 

The intelligent design of the automatic Start-Up technology allows the driver to save on fuel by shutting off the engine while idling in traffic. Simply press the accelerator, and the engine automatically switches on to give you a smooth start. This innovative technology allows the driver to reduce carbon emissions by limiting fuel waste, leading to less unnecessary pollution. 

Adding to its environmental friendliness, the EcoSport also comes standard with the Hill Start Assist feature. This allows the driver to switch from the brake to the accelerator without worrying about rolling backward while stopped on a steep incline. A worry-free transition from braking to acceleration means less engine work and a smoother start forward. 

New technology saves drivers time and money on repairs.

MYKEY is an impressive safety component offered as a standard feature on the EcoSport. The MYKEY gives parents the peace of mind that their young drivers are safe behind the wheel. With safety controls such as mandated safety-belt use and max speed limitation controls, the EcoSport is an excellent choice for teens to learn great driving habits. 

The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) technology allows drivers the comfort of knowing their surroundings on the road at all times. BLIS detects and notifies the driver of any vehicles in hard-to-see blind spots. With the BLIS, you decrease the chance of a collision and costly automotive repairs. 

As every driver knows: accidents happen. But with the EcoSport’s Cross Traffic technology, drivers are alerted to vehicles behind them when backing up from a parking space or driveway. An increasing series of alerts sound as the driver comes closer to an object or vehicle behind them, leading to fewer accidents. 

Smart interior design

Experience a fun and comfortable interior in the well-designed EcoSport. With the impressive 60/40 flip-up seating and optional split-fold-flat seating, you’ll spend less time running back and forth for errands. The large stowing capacity allows the driver to haul more of what they need, which saves fuel in the long run. 

The ACTIVEX seating material offered in the SES and Titanium packages provides a sporty look with the longevity of a synthetic material built to withstand your active lifestyle. ACTIVEX interior seating and trim ensure that your EcoSport will stay looking fresh and stylish long into the future. 

Available options like heated seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel give you a feeling of luxury with the reassurance that you are doing your part to stay environmentally friendly on the road. With one-touch power windows and powered adjustable driver seating, driving being the wheel of a Ford EcoSport brings excitement and comfort to the road. 

The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system provides easy access to your mobile devices and offers smart charging ports to stay connected during any road trip. The touchscreen LCD display includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, as well as apps like Ford+Alexa, adding convenience and fun to your driving experience. 

The decision to be environmentally conscious when choosing a vehicle doesn’t mean you have to give up on the comforts of driving in style. The EcoSport can offer you the best of both worlds. With available options like hands-free entry, keyless ignition, and heated mirrors, reducing your carbon footprint has never been so stylish.
