In advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford is excited to announce the newest member of its lineup, the EcoSport – the smallest crossover in its family, according to USA Today.
Small sized SUVs are experiencing increasing popularity. This makes the launch of EcoSport perfectly timed in the market. The Ecosport is aimed towards empty nesters and millennials, who crave the versatility without needing the full size of the Ford Explorer.
While similar to the Ford Escape, the EcoSport is smaller in size and sportier in design. It will be available in 2018 in four versions, the S, SE, SES, and Titanium. The EcoSport features a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost engine and front-wheel drive. Drivers will have the option to upgrade to an optional 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with all-wheel drive.
Ford EcoSport Titanium edition will boast a state of the art sound system complete with 10 675-watt speakers and feature a Harman audio system. The focus was on creating an elite, world-class music experience for Titanium drivers. The emphasis on audio made it only natural that EcoSport’s prestigious launch, titled “Go Small, Live Bigâ€, took place at the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and featured hip-hop producer and performer DJ Khaled.
The Ford EcoSport is already available in the Indian market, where it will continue to be produced. Ford will be the first American automaker to import Indian produced vehicles to the US.

Do you love the look and feel of an SUV, but are put off by the bulkiness? If so, you’re not alone. Soccer moms and retirees alike are seeking out rugged, sporty vehicle options that don’t take up the whole road. Enter the Ford EcoSport.
In response to this shift in SUV thinking, Ford is bringing EcoSport to the US and Canadian markets. According to Driving .ca, the big announcement was made on Snapchat, with DJ Khaled at the helm of the reveal. While this type of social media savvy message may not have caught the attention of the empty nesters, the buzz is quickly spreading. In fact, the EcoSport is already highly acclaimed in other parts of the world. According to Autoblog.com, it’s the best selling compact SUV outside of the US.
EcoSport’s sleek and sporty look has hints of both the Ford Edge and Escape, but definitely cuts a figure all its own. It has a streamline, but muscular style that is sure to please a wide range of buyers. Despite its trim design though, as explained on the Ford website, EcoSport’s interior is notably roomy, with ample head and leg space.
Those interested in the EcoSport will have their choice of 10 colours and four trim levels. Higher end models have an 8-inch colour touch screen. The available Sync 3 technology with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, push the intuitive nature of this vehicle over the top.
