The EcoSport was born in 2003 and has come a long way since then. It rapidly positioned itself as one of the top SUVs in the market, and the company has improved it year after year. With a renovated and sleek exterior and packed with top-notch technology, the 2021 Ford EcoSport is a proud bearer of the Ford name. Here’s our list of its most impressive features.

Engine

There are two engine options available for the 2021 EcoSport lineup. A 3.0L, 3-cylinder for all-wheel drive vehicles, and a 1.0L, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine for the front-wheel versions. Their outstanding Auto Start-Stop technology shuts down the engine when you make a full-stop, resulting in better fuel efficiency and fewer emissions.

Features

BLIS, Ford’s proprietary blind spot information system with cross-traffic alerts is available for all models. This technology detects traffic behind your vehicle and alerts you to other vehicles in your blind spots. The available intelligent 4WD system makes off-road driving a breeze providing additional traction when necessary. Finally, the Hill Start Assist feature switches from brake to gas to avoid backward rolling.

Connectivity

All EcoSport trims come with SYNC, Ford’s infotainment and connectivity technology. An 8-inch touchscreen display is standard for the SE, SES, and Titanium trims, and the S comes equipped with a 4-inch LCD. All models integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Auto, and Apple CarPlay. A WiFi 4G LTE hotspot is included as standard in all models.

Audio

All models come with high-quality audio systems: six speakers for the S and SE trims; 7 speakers for the SES trim; and a powerful 10-speaker with subwoofer and satellite radio by Bang and Olufsen for the Titanium.

Interior

The 2021 Ecosport has room for 5 five people, comfortably seated. All seats are ergonomically designed and provide excellent support. There’s an option to add ambient lighting and heated seats and a heated steering wheel. A moonroof with sunshade is also available, as is electronic automatic climate control. To keep your devices powered, the EcoSport comes with two intelligent USB ports.

Safety

We’ve already mentioned the driver’s assistance features, but the EcoSport offers a lot more on the safety front. All models come with tire pressure control, automatic on/off headlights, brake assist, a remote keyless entry system, and anti-theft features. All the 2021 EcoSport trims are equipped with 6 airbags, child safety locks, and 4-wheel disc brakes.
