2020 EcoSport | Rochester FordThere’s a lot of things to love about a compact SUV. They offer the right mix of versatility and fuel economy. The 2020 Ford Ecosport is a standout choice if you’re considering a new smaller-sized SUV this year. The wide range of excellent features and capable performance metrics are just some of the reasons to take one for a test drive today. Here’s a comprehensive look at what makes the new Ecosport a top pick among many. 

 

Capability Without Sacrifice

The 2020 Ford Ecosport has a wealth of capability and performance features. It’s always a good idea to have a capable vehicle that can handle the worst winter might throw at you. An intelligent all-wheel drive system gets you where you need to go, regardless of the road conditions. A hill-start assistance feature means you won’t roll back on a hill when you switch from the brake to the gas pedal. Instead, the anti-lock brake system prevents you from rolling back for two seconds, which is plenty of time to apply pressure to the gas.

Having more power and performance features tend to mean a lower fuel economy. However, the Ford Ecosport has a few things going for it that help curve that metric in the favor of efficiency. First, the smaller frame means the engine doesn’t need to work hard. Another thing the Ecosport has going for it is auto start-stop technology. This intuitive feature stops your engine while you’re stopped and automatically starts firing again once you hit the gas. This mitigates all the unnecessary idling that comes with driving in the city.

 

Your Choice of Engines

There are a couple of options at your disposal when it comes to the engine under the hood of your 2020 Ford Ecosport. First, there’s a turbocharged 1-liter Ecoboost engine. The second engine option is a 2-liter engine without turbo. Both engines use direct injection for fuel delivery and the intelligent four-wheel drive system is standard with 2-liter configurations.

 

Designed for Convenience

When it comes to capability, power, and performance, the 2020 Ford Ecosport checks off all the boxes. The compact SUV also has plenty of convenience and entertainment features available that will make your life easier, and a bit more for fun. For example, the rear cargo door opens from the side instead of from the top. This makes it easier to close the door when your hands are full. Higher trim levels of the 2020 Ford Ecosport feature a customizable rear compartment that allows you to adjust how the cargo area is divided.

The 8-inch center console display is where you’ll be interacting with your entertainment features. The Ecosport is equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You can also use your car as a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot to provide entertainment and internet connectivity for all your passengers.

It’s easy to see why so many are excited about the 2020 Ford Ecosport. It has great features at every turn and is an absolute blast to drive. Schedule your test drive today to see if it’s the right fit for you or check out our online inventory.
