On first sight, you can tell that the new Ford EcoSport is built for purpose. On the outside, the new Ford EcoSport is bold and contemporary, yet rugged and aerodynamic. The raised stance creates a striking presence, enhances your feeling of control and helps you see more of the world around you.

Showing off the new Ford Kinetic Design approach, the new Ford EcoSport includes wide front grill, 16" alloy wheels, front and rear skid plates, a rear-mounted spare wheel and silver roof rails, all helping to make this sporty-looking compact SUV equally at home both in the city and the country.

The New Ecosport has an aerodynamic body shape which results in low wind resistance and greater fuel efficiency. The entry-level EcoSport is powered by a 111bhp 1.5-litre petrol engine averaging 44.8mpg and 149g/km of CO2 , while the other petrol option is a 123bhp 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, at 53.3mpg and 125g/km CO2.

A 1.5-litre diesel engine that averages 64.2mpg and emits 120g/km of CO2 is also available; however, whichever option you choose, you're guaranteed performance, power and economy.

The new Ford EcoSport has been awarded 4 stars in Euro NCAP safety. A state-of-the-art airbag network offers an ultra-quick response time, and four rear ISOFIX child seat attachment points help keep young children safe and secure on every journey.

In the event of airbag deployment, Ford SYNC with Emergency Assist technology bursts into life to alert the emergency services of your GPS location. Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) also gives you greater control of your vehicle to help keep you safe.
