Ford sells the EcoSport in four trim levels: S, SE, SES, and Platinum. They all come with the same 166 horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which teams with a six-speed automatic transmission and the aforementioned all-wheel drive. According to the EPA’s official estimates, the EcoSport will get 23 mpg around town and 29 mpg on the highway, due in part to its fuel-saving automatic start-stop technology.
The EcoSport’s entry-level trim is appropriately outfitted with some basic yet essential features. These include automatic headlights, remote keyless entry, cloth upholstery, cruise control, an overhead console sunglasses holder, two 12-volt power outlets, two smart-charging USB ports, a 60/40-split flip-up and fold-down rear seatback, and Ford’s SYNC infotainment system with a 4.2-inch display, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, a six-speaker audio system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
This trim gives its drivers a bigger slate of features, consisting of fog lights, a windshield wiper de-icer, roof-rack side rails, side mirrors with turn-signal indicators, rear parking sensors, a moonroof, Intelligent Access with push-button ignition, heated front seats, automatic climate control, a cargo management system with an adjustable cargo shelf, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. Not only that, but it’s upgraded with the SYNC 3 infotainment system, marked by an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), and SiriusXM satellite radio.
Two upgrade packages are available for the SE. The Convenience Package will issue blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link, voice-activated navigation, a seven-speaker sound system, a 110-volt power outlet, and ambient interior lighting. The Appearance Package will provide a power driver’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with orange stitching, orange instrument panel appliques, and special cloth upholstery with orange and copper accents.
The SES is the aesthetic standout of the bunch with its gloss-black exterior elements. the contents of the Convenience Package come standard along with rain-sensing wipers, heated side mirrors, a sport-tuned suspension, ActiveX upholstery, a power driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
On top of its chrome exterior trim, this top-of-the-line EcoSport starts with the SE’s equipment and adds the items from the Convenience Package, plus rain-sensing wipers, heating for the side mirrors and steering wheel, perforated ActiveX upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an upscale Bang & Olufsen (B&O) audio system with 10 speakers.
