Ford EcoSport [2017-2019] User Reviews

I purchased Ford ecosport on 23rd Feb'18. Completed one year and completed one year service too. Pros: Chose the car for good looks, loads of features & brand. However learnt the hard way - do not be blinded by looks only, pls check and compare other better options available in this segment. A piece of free advice- purchase diesel variants and say no to petrol sucking variants.Will not suggest anyone to go for Ford Ecosport. Cons: I purchased ford ecosport facelift titanium petrol variant on 23rd Feb'18. I am very disappointed about the mileage.I was told at 3 different showrooms city mileage would be around 13kmpl . I was getting 8kmpl but after 1st free service at Hans ford the mileage dropped and I have been consistently getting only 7.2-7.6kmpl. Informed Dealer who said wait till 5000kms and we will sort it. However nothing happened and mileage did not improve. They suggested mileage test. One year service gave to Dhruvan ford and told them about mileage problem. They informed in city it should give 10kmpl at least & problem will be fixed in service. After service they suggested mileage test so I agreed. We were supposed to drive 100kms and check mileage but due to poor coordination of supervisor with his staff the process was delayed and mileage was checked in city for 50kms ,at non peak hours without switiching on AC( apparently mileage test should be done without AC was what the person said as AC is luxury) allowing their driver to drive at speed to 50-60 ,resulting in a mileage of 9.6kmpl. I get 7.2-7.6 driving in peak traffic at 30-40 speed. Also auto lock was not happening which was highlighted to Dhruvan ford and their driver too informed the supervisor. They said everything is software driven so it will be updated. However nothing happened and after informing service centre they had no reply to that and said they have done their best. Bottom- line lots of false promises _ If anyone from Ford is reading this I would like to bring to your attention - STOP FOOLING PEOPLE.Give them the actual facts and I will be surprised if anyone will buy from Ford. Other Cons: Highway I get 14-15 which is not that bad. Sluggish 2nd gear ,stiff suspension and space constraint for 5th person in rear seat. Overall comfort wise barring 5th passenger, and looks best in the segment, mileage wise very poor performer, which makes me wonder did I make a wrong choice. Areas to Improve: Mileage, mileage mileage..........,rear AC vents- though it is said the AC is very powerful, in summers the rear seat passengers face discomfort and fan speed has to increased to 4 points, else they do not get proper AC.

I would say close your eyes and buy it. The reviews I saw here about mileage, I can't believe. Overall I am getting 15 KMPL and in highways at 18 KMPL. I am challenging the mileage. The only thing is that you have to drive first few thousand Kms between 50 to 60 KMPL. If you start driving new vehicle at more than 100 KMPL, there is no point on complaining company or car for low mileage. All performance of your car's future depends on how you drive the first few Kms. Hope this helps you in your decision making.

Exterior Exterior looks fantastic.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior features, space & comfort except leg space for the middle back seat, all other specs are great.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Sluggish 2nd gear, Performance is ok but Fuel Economy is worst; it comes only around 10 km/ltr; when I have checked with dealer, they have confirmed that Petrol vehicle will give only this much milage; it is advertised as if would give around 17 but reality is 10.

Ride Quality & Handling Good and Easy.

Final Words Bought in Dec 2017, drove around 8,000 kms so far. Comfort wise one of the best vehicles in the segment, mileage wise very poor performer. One good thing which I thoroughly enjoy is the music system.

Areas of improvement Mileage; rear a/c vents; though it is boasted as A/C is very powerful but in summers it is difficult for back seat passengers, unless it is kept on 4 points, they would not get proper A/C. Arm rests are for name sake, they haven't been given with the seat; just in the middle of both front seats a storage space has been given,which has been named as arm rest. In fact, this storage box, blocks the leg space for the middle passenger of back seat. Navigation Map would not run unless system gets physically connected with the phone.

Looks, Seating & Driving ComfortLag in the 2nd gear, less mileage, less leg space for middle back seat, break issue on the slopes

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.

Its an excellent car. Looks like a beast & believe me you'll fall in love on its muscular looks. Purchased this car in August 2018 driven 3500 kms till now & so far I'm totally satisfied with this car (I'm in love with the performance). The 1.5 litre dragon series petrol engine delivers power which is unmatchable & the response of the steering is absolutely amazing, actually the best. I'm proud that I chose this car. Before buying this I was confused betw. EcoSport & Nexon (as Vitara brezza is sh*t & wrv is underpowered) but the dealers & service quality of tata is very bad in comparison to Ford p.s. you can youtube some videos of owners of tata cars & the complaints they have. So ultimately I chose this car as a piece of mind & I think I took my decision right. Right from buying to service ford has never disappointed me. Service quality & maintenance cost are segment best. Beleive me. I've done some rash driving with full confidence as you can feel very safe. Built quality is extremely well, you can feel the quality as soon as you sit in the car. Feels very safe & gives you full confidence at higher speeds unlike Maruti cars. It returns me mileage (Petrol MT) of around 9-10 with AC in heavy traffic. & 11 without AC in city. 14-15 on highway. Also depends on your driving skills. I've no complaints regrading mileage it delivers, as it is a compact SUV & has a very powerful engine. We Indian buyers are more biased towards mileage than anything else. If Mileage is your topmost priority go for Maruti but for the driving pleasure go for EcoSport without any second thoughts. You'll not regret for sure.

Excellent and made for men no compermise by ford and look great driven osum but only one doubt are as chevrolet may be ford will also go from india. So a little bit confusion otherwise ford give quality and value for our money. Manybother option availabke but ford give right way of invest our hard core money.

Worst after sales service. No basic checks are also done.all sorts of problems after couple of years and the dealership where we give service are totally irresponsible. They just seems to clean the vehicle and give it back without any checks. After service reported a problem on brake issue. They did not even check for 10 minutes to confirm if it's a battery issue and advise on battery replacement. Long story short please think 100 times before committing to buy a Ford car.

Im a proud honor of Ford EcoSport, buy in oct. 2018, fine comfort,and stable on highwayroads as well offroad, nice stability on top speed, good for offroadind.. in looks muscular and attractive, my 1.5 petrol engine feel punchy n refine. After 4thousnd km run there is no issue. Slight rear seat space little less for. 3 persons comfort.

The most I like this car is about look and performance , it used to give 10 to 11 km per liter petrol, but riding passion and pick is assum, even in traffic condition ,it used to pickup very fast, i ride even in village road , the performance is in believable, overall I rate 4. Look and feel is very good , feel like we sit in BMW or Audi.
