Ford EcoSport [2017-2019] User Reviews

The buying experience was a breeze. The dealer was courteous and sales agent seemed to know the car well. Got a good deal on the Car. The Car is power packed with a punchy engine which is further enhanced by a sports mode. The gear shifts are barely perceptible, the transmission does an intelligent job of reading the drivers mind as to when the driver wants to accelerated quickly. The paddle shifts give additional control in case you want to take it in your own hands. The car is packed to the brim with features. Especially worth mentioning are the safety features - it is the only car with Automatic transmission with 6 airbags in this price range (apart from the yaris which is a Sedan). Plus it has cruise control (works like a charm), brake assist, traction control and of course ABS. The seat belts come with pretentioners too. Bells and whistles like auto head lamps, auto wipers are useful additions. The handling of the car is very good and you feel in control of the car at high speeds too. About the cons, there are some. The fuel economy could be better. In city, I get around 7.5-8 km/l and on the highway it climbs to 10.5-11 km/l. It sorely misses a hand rest on the left side of the driver (There is one but its so further back that it is useless). All in all a great car.

Exterior The best looking Compact SUV in the market.

1. The front face is the highlight in the EcoSport. The single large grille with chrome finish comes straight from the trademark ford family grille. This looks much better when compared to the older split grille.

2. In many reviews I've read that the rear has no significant changes with the facelifted version. But I think the spare wheel covers almost 30 to 40% of the rear and it has got changes. The titanium version's alloy wheel looks very nice and even more the new wheel cover (old endeavour mount like design) makes the EcoSport look bit more bigger in size.

3. I've got the lightning blue which I think goes well with the alloy wheel colour, head lamps and the chrome front grille. I've also seen the smoke grey which looks good too.

4. The front LED DRL adds up to the angry face.

5. Rear lights could've got the running lights, but this is a mid face lift.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): The interior has got the major change.

1. The floating touch screen interface is really good, both in looks and performance. Touch is butter smooth. The SYNC3, Andriod Auto / Apple car play isn't available in the latest version (manufactured after April) of the titanium variant which is a let down.

2. Audio is superb and great to hear as always Ford didn't compromise on the music system. Two tweeters are there in the front doors. There are more than 5 equalizer bandwidth to play with.

3. The inbuilt navigation system is good, but not great. There is a bit of lag in the navigation system while operating the nav. 4. Rear camera is very clear.

5. Leather wrapped steering is good and sturdy.

6. Seats are comfortable and broad. Nothing to complain about.

7. Leg room is good for a sub 4m SUV.

8. Can accommodate 4 Adults + 1 kid comfortably. Thin adult can be a 5th rear passenger.

9. Loads of other features are available in the car which one can find in the spec sheet.

10. A/C is very powerful and you don't need a rear vent for this car! It cools the car very quick when compared to the other cars in this segment.

11. The boot space is very much enough for a family to travel for a longer distance. Titanium doesn't get the pad and level adjuster in the boot.

12. Boot opener is just a button pressing type which is very easy.

13. The key less feature is best in class. The car has also got many smart features with the MyKey. Eg. turn off the lights, engine and lock the car if the key is not within its range for specific time

14. The instrument cluster for many looks simple. I think Ford has got the flat design, something similar to Android Material design which I like. Its very clean and no glossy business.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: 1. Excellent performance. As good as Honda Petrol Engine.

2. Have driven 3000+ Kms and 1st service is done. The mileage in the city (Chennai) is 11 Kmpl and in the highways it is 16.5 Kmpl. I was expecting a mileage of 9 in the City and 11 was a bit surprise.

3. The gear box is very smooth, but when comparing to Hyundai it comes next to that only.

Ride Quality & Handling 1. Touched 140+ Km speed regularly in the highways and was really smooth. Ford is a vehicle to drive in the highways and for those who enjoy driving.

2. The steering is sharp and very easy to drive. So easy to pass through the barricades in the highways.

3. You will feel a good amount of confidence in the corners. Maintenance: 1. 1st service is done and very much satisfied with the service. Pick up and drop was free.

2. Any issues Ford Customer Care is happy to assist.

Areas of improvement The navigation system can load a bit faster. Nothing else so far!

NANA

Sales personal were very professional. Riding is best in class. Sporty look, dual tone seat and interior. Lowest servicing in the class. All features are having Pros except that it is below 4m in Length. The only Leather seats in class. Tilt & Telescopic steering alone in class. Hill Hold control alone in class.

Brought ecosport in Hyderabad ride quality is good looks are superb and mileage is 14 on highway maintenance is very high Engine noise because of Diesel engine disappointment with mileage overall good vechile loved it and air conditioner works well when I use it and comfort car for family mileage if it’s better hats off to this car for build quality also

Driving the car in fabulous.. it is comfortable than any other SUV. It can easily bare the thrust of bad roads . Small kids mostly frustrate while bad roads but ecosport meets the expectation. The average we the customer expect is quite good so it is economically affordable for us .I liked it very much.

It is the best car you can have in this price range you get the best of both worlds Other car manufacturers do not provide these many features at thw starting price range. The hands on experience is great. When you feel the car you get to know about its strength. Could not say more it just excellent

I purchased Ford Ecosport and I am satisfied in all aspects. Fantastic car with great pickup and mileage, driving is very smooth. I have not seen any problem in the three years journey of my car, so I give it five stars. The car has very very successful machinery and heavy body structure as compare as others in this segment.

1.Buying experience was no so good we have to wait for 3 hours till our car was coming to dealership. 2.Riding experience is fantastic and on highway I will love it. 3. It is having a 1497 cc 3 cylinder engine which produce 126 ps of power and looks are amazing and it will turn around heads to your car. On highway speeds like 120-130 km/hr the remains stable and feels confident and comfortable for passengers. 4.Not have any service till know.will update after service 5.Pros-Performance, 16 inch alloy wheels, Sync 3 infotainment system, Built quality. Cons-Back seat space, Lack of 6th gear, Can't find it the car is overall perfect.

Ford Ecosport....Amazing product. Engine, Body n driving experience everything is worthy. I suggest people to go ahead with this case if anyone is planning to buy new car. Earlier I was driving Ford Figo (Diesel) and used for more than 6 years now I bought Ecosports but still I am not selling my old Figo. Overall experience with Ford is very good.
