When it comes to family vehicles, there is no doubt that mini SUVs are a top choice of drivers. These efficient vehicles come in many sizes; however, smaller families may prefer smaller subcompact SUVs such as the 2021 Ford EcoSport. The excellent features of this wonderful crossover make it a popular choice among our customers here at Lake Auto.
A Quick Look at the 2021 Ford EcoSport
The Ford Ecosport is a subcompact SUV that is designed for the casual driver. It is the smallest crossover in Ford’s line of Mini SUVs, making it the perfect choice for small families or single drivers. This vehicle makes driving an enjoyable experience thanks to its many wonderful features.
Design
The Ford Ecosport has a round yet sleek outer appearance that makes it a true pleasure to look at. The base interior features a mixture of soft fabrics, faux leather, and durable plastics. The cabin is both comfortable and spacious for its size. It seats five passengers with plenty of legroom for the front and back rows and ample cargo space.
Powertrain
The Ecosport comes with two engine options. Base models come with a 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engine, which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. You can also upgrade to the 2.0-liter non-turbo I-4 engine, which is accompanied by the same six-speed transmission and all-wheel drive.
Technology
The base model of the Ecosport has a pleasing minimalist design featuring a 4.2-inch infotainment display and six-speaker audio. When you upgrade to the SE trim and above, you get an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display that is compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa. The higher SES and Titanium models also include navigation. You can also upgrade to a 7-speaker or 10-speaker audio system.
Pricing
The base model of the EcoSport costs about $20,000. The higher trims can cost up to about $29,000 depending on your upgrade choices. Some of the higher trims give you more luxury features like larger infotainment displays, upgraded audio systems, a more powerful engine, and more.
New Upgrades
A few new features were added to this year’s lineup of EcoSport models to enhance their appearance and comfort.
Exterior Upgrades
Luxe Yellow and Blue exterior paint colors are now available for all models of the Ecosport. There is also an SE Appearance package and larger 17-inch wheels, which are now available in Shadow Silver. Overlander decals are now available for the side, hood, and tailgate of all models.
Interior Upgrades
The SES trim now comes standard with a six-way power driver’s seat, while the Titanium trim has leatherette upholstery instead of leather. The small size of the Ford EcoSport doesn’t take away from its wonderful features like its attractive design, great casual driving experience, and technology.
