Ford EcoSport [2013-2015] User Reviews

Exterior Superb looks!! Much avaited Eco Sport!! Those who can't afford Range Rover Evoque can go for this. from back this looks amazing. Awesome design. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very stylish!! Sync is too good. Space is good. very comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Man you can just play with this. What a control!!! I tried on necklace road roughs. Made him jump, turn,drift... nothing happened. Not a single jerk. those who were sitting in the back also did not actually feel the pinch.

Ride Quality & Handling It is a great toy to play with. Absolutely comfortable. It can be your best friend to hang around. Any new person who gets into this car, he will get used to it within 5 minutes. You get lot of confidence while driving.

Final Words Awesome!! Value for money!!

Areas of improvement May be on suspension on a long run. For the highend version, there is nothing to hold in the rear seats because of the side airbags. need to do something on that.

Looks are awesome!! Value for Money!! Excellent ground clearanceI didn't feel anything wrong about the suspension but my co bro who drive had some concerns on suspe

Exterior As the EcoSport comes in to views, the first impression you get is of looking at a younger sibling of a european SUV. It has the aergo look while giving a sense of confidence on the build. Certainly a head turner. Yes! last but  not the least, decent big tyres (16 inchers on the higher versions).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lodz of gadgets, pockets and yes, doesn't feel like a boxy baby SUV lke its rival, but a foxy one. The dashbord styling is certainly upscale and give one a feeling of a luxury sedan to some extent. Space is very comfortable for 4 six foot adults, add a fifth n it will be a tight squeeze.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Not been able to get a road test yet.

Ride Quality & Handling Not been able to get a road test yet....

Final Words Great value for money, will give ompetitors run for their money and will scavange into small-midsize sedan market.

Areas of improvement Hmm... Dealership visit exeprience. Hey Ford guy's, we know today being the launch day, you will be having your hands full, but you DONT keep a customer waiting in the reception without even the reception acknowledging your presence.

The road test! Ford may be having a policy of letting only one person of the client's family have a test drive, but atleast be courteous in the manner you inform the client (Is somene in Bhavna Ford, Navi Mumbai listening).

Body Form, Ground Clearance, Dashboard, Gadgets (lodz!)The electric tailgate switch (Doesn't open if the battery has run out).

Exterior

 Definitely the Exterior looks are to die for, getting a SUV within the same cost levels of a mid segment sedan, changes the game.

The body build quality is robust, you can make it from the doors itself, which are heavy and sturdy, giving you the feel of being inside a sturdy and secure vehicle, (but this has adrawback as well !!)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 I feel the interiors could have been done beter, firstly the plastic quality could have been improved. The digital display in monochrome blue could have been a notch better, by including a touch screen infotainment. A rear AC vent again would have been good, but the AC is really strong.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The Engine performance and Gearbox are the real bummers. The Engine size and vehicle weight do not go hand in hand. The vehicle is really too heavy for the Engine to pull it. The engine moans when you are driving on slopes. (I dont know if the issue is with my vehicle or same accross all).

While on the first gear the vehicle would really jump off, but thereafter the pickup is real low, infact gearshits are needed at arround 3500 rpm, thereby becoming a fuel guzler. I am getting a mileage of arround 10.5 Km /L while the brochure saya it is about 18 Km / L.'

My expectation was for a much more powerful car, and it has been a total let down.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The ride quality is quite soomth and so is the handling. But for reverse parking it is better to have rear parking camera / sensors, as the rear visibility is very poor.

Final Words

 Overall, the vehicle is not a value for money, today there are better vehicles in the same segment giving better value for money

Areas of improvement  

 Definitely the engine and pickup

 

Design is definitely the best thingLess Space

The EcoSport drives much better at slower speeds. The Ford felt almost punchy slipping through busy streets, but its vague steering and noisy ride diminished the experience. While its ride can't isolate the cabin from rough surfaces, the softly sprung suspension on our Titanium test vehicle effectively cushioned occupants from the harshness. Too bad the spongy shocks and top-heavy demeanor led to unruly body motions. These effects were amplified at higher speeds. The brake pedal on our front-drive Titanium model never felt firm, but it delivered consistent response. *HIGHS Affordable, compact and maneuverable, easy-to-use infotainment. LOWS Disappointing fuel efficiency, sleep-inducing acceleration, lacks interior space.

Exterior Styling is nice and the car though of the same length as i20 looks bigger. 16 inch alloy wheels and arches enhance the looks. Color combinations (with side claddings) are good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best equipment levels among same bracket cars in the market. The interior and equipment levels are even better than next segment cars like Innova and XUV500.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1.5 petrol engine is peppy and is doing service in Fiesta already. Doesen't have the oomph of ecoboost but a rather well endowed engine suitable for city traffic. Fuel economy should be in the 10-11 range in the city. Gear box is really slick with short throws.

Ride Quality & Handling Extremely good riding and handling. Slight amount of roll, but not anything noticeable.

Final Words I am waiting for delivery (3 months waiting period). I bleieve after this car, duster, XUV500, Innova all will have to reduce their pricing. It is likely to eat into the sales of desire, amaze and ertiga as well. One of the best value for money packages out there.

Areas of improvement Back seat comfort is less comparatively. Also there is some panel gaps to be seen in the interior.

Styling, Equipment Levels, ComfortSlightly cramped back seat

I was looking for EcoSport in market. when i was enquiry to all shoowroom and product availability getting different 2 information. than a sales person Mr. Shukla he gave me full information with confidence. i was impresed with his. so i decided to purchase by him. they delivered me EcoSport on time when i required and i was impressed with greate way and immediate responce to me when i called him. There is a need of renewal and non renewal of dealerships as per the performance of the dealerships in every area. Harpreet Ford at Moti Nagar is not even half good for the people to go and have a look at the vehicles. Can you guys start focussing on this and have a priority set for the customers to treat them well and focus more on customer interaction. Your company would go way ahead in sales by just imporving few basic things. Whereas Ridhi Ford was very active in following this with me even if that would mean going 50 KMS away from my home to buy the car. Appreciate their sales manager meeting me personally and explaining everything to me for the car and its delivery.

So, i realy appreciate to RIDDHI FORD for best customer delivery service and i will sortly reffered my friends also 

 

Thanks
