2021 Ford EcoSport Titanium 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

The 2021 Ford EcoSport's name suggests a harmonic vision of performance and efficiency. Alas, there's nothing very sporty or economical about its wheezy three-cylinder engine. We're also disappointed with the choppy ride quality and lack of advanced safety features. A large cargo area makes it a compelling choice for active lifestyles, however.

2020 Ford EcoSport SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Economical...I easily hit 30mpg highway and smooth ride all the way. Pop into sport mode and it kicks up a notch too. Plenty of room for riders. I got just about all features and worth it. Handles nicely, no complaints.

2020 Ford EcoSport S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

2020 Ford EcoSport Titanium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

If your like me you read every review 50 times before you pull the trigger. Rarely do these experts actually review from a consumers perspective just an artificial world of non comparables. Like many real consumers I'm in my late 50's and I've had at least 20 different cars in my life (probably more) and I can honestly say value for the dollar is superb. Nobody pays list, so take that …

Happy with my lil SUV

2020 Ford EcoSport SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

This vehicle gets terrible press and I don't get it. I have the Eco Sport with 2.0 and AWD SE. Love the heated seats, sunroof, and the infotainment is great. AWD is a must in the NW and it goes everywhere without issue. Handles great and fits anywhere you'd need to park. Turns on a dime and has great visibility. Super happy with this purchase and would buy one again in a heartbeat. With …
