Sport is a small SUV with Tonka-toy looks và agile handling. Unfortunately, the latter xeotoford.comes at the expense of xeotoford.comfortable suspension và the boot isn’t very practical

What's not so good
Small, impractical bootBumpy suspension at low speeds
Jerky automatic transmission
On paper, the Ford Eco
Sport has it all, because it has room for four adults and is fun lớn drive for a high-riding car.

Admittedly, initial impressions weren’t great, but the Eco
Sport was given a xeotoford.comprehensive update in 2017 when it got chunkier exterior styling, a new interior, a new diesel engine and the option to have four-wheel drive. Sporty ST-Line trim is the most eye-catching – going for it brings 17 paint colours and four contrasting roof shades. However, the small SUV market has moved on, & Ford has other cool offerings such as the Ford Fiesta Active và Ford Puma, so the Eco
Sport is in danger of looking lượt thích that once-cool uncle who now just seems a bit old and naff.
The Eco
Sport’s interior isn’t very eye-catching, but the vị trí cao nhất half of the dashboard is made from soft-touch plastics that make it feel better built than the cabins you’ll find in the Hyundai Kona and the Citroen C3 Aircross. xeotoford.compared with the Citroen, though, Ford’s general design is pretty humdrum.
On the upside, the Eco
Sport’s 8-inch infotainment system is clearer và easier to lớn use than the system in the Citroen. & it xeotoford.comes with hãng apple Car
Play and Android tự động hóa as standard, so it’s easy to make phone calls, play music and navigate using the apps on your smartphone.
Unfortunately, the Ford Eco
Sport doesn’t vì chưng so well in terms of practicality. Front & back-seat space are decent for this form size of oto – the Eco
Sport has room for two tall adults – but the Citroen C3 Aircross is roomier and also has more adjustment khổng lồ help your passengers get xeotoford.comfortable.
The Eco
Sport is zippy & nimble with our preferred 125hp petrol engine up front, but most families would rather it was a little more xeotoford.comfortable
The Ford Eco
Sport’s problems aren’t limited to rear passenger space – the boot is quite a bit smaller than the Citroen’s & the tailgate hinges from the side of the car, so you can’t open it when you’re backed up against a wall or another vehicle.
On the upside, when you drive the Ford Eco
Sport, you’ll find its nimbleness in corners is pretty rare for a car lượt thích this. Its heavy steering gives you a decent idea how much grip the car has in bends và there’s barely any body roll to put you off driving quickly.
That being said, all of the Ford Eco
Sport’s engines focus on fuel economy rather than speed. For most people, the 1.0-litre 125hp petrol will be the one khổng lồ have, because it’s cheap to lớn buy & reasonably nippy in town. The precise controls, easy-changing gearbox & decent view out help you drive the Ford Eco
Sport smoothly in town and the cabin is pretty quiet on the motorway.
However, the impractical boot và the firm ride – mean the C3 Aircross is better suited khổng lồ family life than the Ford Eco
Sport. Nevertheless, if you’re sold on the Ford’s looks và are happy khổng lồ swap xeotoford.comfort for nimble handling, the Eco
Sport may well be the small SUV for you. If so, take a look at the very latest Ford Eco
Sport deals and used Fords for sale - & see how you can sell your oto through carwow, too.
How much is the Ford Eco
Sport?
The Ford Eco

Sport on Carwow starts at £8,268.
Performance & drive xeotoford.comfort
The Eco
Sport doesn’t roll in bends and has steering that gives you the confidence to drive quickly, but it’s very bouncy over bumpy roads and the petrol engines struggle with the car’s weight
The Ford Eco
Sport is available with a choice of three petrol engines & two diesel units.
If you rarely venture out of town, you’re best off going for one of the petrol engines. All are based on the same 1.0-litre Eco
Boost unit tuned to lớn produce either, 100, 125 or 140hp. The 125hp mã sản phẩm has the best blend of pace & fuel economy – Ford claims it will return 54.3mpg – although you can probably knock 10mpg off that in the real world.
The 100hp version of the 1.5-litre diesel isn’t particularly perky, và struggles lớn keep up with fast-moving motorway traffic. It costs more than a 1.0-litre petrol but will return better fuel economy – drive carefully & you’ll see a figure close khổng lồ 55mpg.
The 125hp 1.5-litre Eco
Blue model costs considerably more than the 140hp petrol, but it has more low-down nguồn for overtaking on the motorway. The petrols seem a little wheezy by xeotoford.comparison, aren’t as quiet, và won’t be as cheap khổng lồ run – Ford claims the 1.5-litre diesel will return 53.3mpg, but you can expect it khổng lồ manage around 48mpg in normal driving conditions.
If you’re going to lớn be driving a lot in town you might also be tempted by the optional automatic gearbox. At normal speeds, it shuffles through its six gears smoothly but the quicker you go the more it dents the performance of the 125hp 1.0-litre petrol (the only engine it is available with) & its gear changes bexeotoford.come jerky if you floor it.
The Ford Eco
Sport goes around corners surprisingly well for a small SUV, but if you’re looking for an SUV that smooths out bumpy roads you’ll be much better off with a Citroen C3 Aircross. Even Eco
Sport Zetec and Titanium Eco
Sport models feel pretty firm – their suspension skips và jolts over bumps – but ST-Line models’ sportier springs are even harder.
On the upside, both models can go around corners with less dramatic body toàn thân roll than in the Citroen, and the Ford’s weightier steering gives you a better sense of how much grip the car has.
If you can put up with the bumpy suspension though, the Ford is an easy car to drive in the city with controls that are progressive enough to lớn avoid jerky driving at slow speeds.
Cyclists might be hard to lớn spot because of the wide pillars at the rear of the oto but the large back windscreen gives you a decent view out when parking and all but Zetec models xeotoford.come with parking sensors and a reversing camera.
Space and practicality
The Eco
Sport’s front seats xeotoford.come with plenty of adjustment, but its back seats are quite cramped và its boot is small
The Eco
Sport’s boxy dimensions mean there’s loads of room in the front – even if you’re tall, you won’t be brushing your hairdo on the car’s high roof. All models xeotoford.come with a steering wheel that adjusts up and down as well as in & out, và a driver’s seat that adjusts for height – so if you’re small you can get a good view out of the front of the car.
Lumbar adjustment is also standard, helping you stave off backache on a long journey. The news isn’t so good for your front-seat passenger though – they don’t get lumbar tư vấn or height adjustment for their seat.
Your rear-seat passengers will be happy enough, however, because the Eco
Sport has enough knee room khổng lồ acxeotoford.commodate a couple of six-footers in the back, even with tall adults in the front seats. A Citroen C3 Aircross has a bit more room again.
That said, the Ford only ever starts lớn feel tight in the back when you load it with three people. Its narrow body means elbow room is at a premium & your passengers’ hips will feel like they’ve been fused together. Foot room is also in short supply because of the large hump in the centre of the floor & the fact that there’s not a lot of room in the footwells behind the front seats. In fairness, the middle seat itself is actually quite xeotoford.comfortable & doesn’t have the perched feeling you get sitting on the one in the Citroen C3 Aircross.
The Ford loses points when you xeotoford.come to fitting a child seat, though. Its small rear doors don’t leave a huge amount of room khổng lồ lift the seat through & the problem’s exacerbated because the doors don’t mở cửa very wide. If that’s not bad enough, the Isofix points are hidden under the seat fabric, so getting a baby seat clicked into place is a little awkward.
The Eco
Sport has a good variety of handy storage spaces. Khổng lồ start with, the front door bins are huge – big enough to lớn swallow a two-litre bottle of water with lots of room left over for a couple of smaller bottles. Và although the glovebox isn’t huge, it’s bigger than the one you get in the Citroen C3 Aircross.

Things in the back aren’t so good though. Rear-seat passengers get no cupholders & only small door bins. That said, the two 12V power nguồn sockets – hidden in little trays next to each back door – are a rare addition in a car like this & will be handy if you need to charge electricals or give the back seat a spruce up with a portable vacuum.
The Eco
Sport has a boot that’s puny xeotoford.compared to the space you can get in a Citroen C3 Aircross. Another big downside is the Ford’s boot door that hinges from the left-hand side of the car, so you can’t mở cửa it if you park tight against a wall or another vehicle.
Sadly, there aren’t a huge number of positives when you get the boot open. It has an adjustable floor as standard but this handy feature is negated by the protruding rear bumper that you have khổng lồ lift heavy luggage over.
The boot’s narrow shape makes loading bulky items a pain – the C3 Aircross’ load cất cánh is nice and square by xeotoford.comparison – but you vày get a couple of hooks to lớn keep your shopping bags from spilling out their contents. Once you’ve loaded a stroller & a couple of soft bags you won’t have room for a lot else.
Even when you fold the Eco
Sport’s rear seats down there’s not a huge amount of room. The seats fold in a 60:40 split via a couple of latches next to the rear headrests. The load cất cánh that’s created by flipping the seats down isn’t the biggest but it’s still big enough to lớn fit a bike with just one wheel detached.
Interior style, infotainment and accessories
The latest infotainment system is better than ever improvement, but although the Eco
Sport’s interior has been improved, it still can’t hold a candle lớn those you get in most alternatives
The Ford Eco
Sport interior feels well built but it doesn’t have the interesting design you’ll find in the similarly priced Citroen C3 Aircross.
The vị trí cao nhất half of the Ford’s dashboard is made from soft, expensive-feeling plastics that are much nicer than the hard materials used in the Citroen & Hyundai Kona. Unfortunately, the rest of the Ford Eco
Sport interior has the same hard plastics that you’ll find in those cars.
Even entry-level Zetec cars feel nice inside. They have fabric seats, plus a gear knob & a steering wheel that’s trimmed in leather.
Eco
Sport Titanium versions get half-leather seats, a front centre armrest and mood light with a selectable range of colours, but ST-Line models are the nicest. Choose one of them & you get suede-effect upholstery that feels expensive, a sporty steering wheel & lots of racy red stitching.
The 8-inch screen’s graphics are clear và crisp và it’s easy to lớn punch in a postcode and địa chỉ cửa hàng diversions lớn your route.
Unfortunately, following directions isn’t as straightforward because the system often tells you about turn-offs a bit too late, and sometimes demands you make left- và right-hand turns that don’t exist. The 8-inch screen’s kích cỡ makes it easier to follow but doesn’t fully solve the problem.
The system uses the same intuitive ‘pinch’ and ‘swipe’ hand gestures you use when using a smartphone. & it xeotoford.comes equipped with Android auto and hãng apple Car
Play so it’s easy to make calls and use your phone’s navigation simply by plugging it into one of the car’s two USB ports.
It’s easy lớn play music that way too, and the Ford Eco
Sport’s six-speaker stereo is pretty decent. If you’re a big music fan hâm mộ though, you’ll want an ST-Line mã sản phẩm with the optional B&O stereo. It has 10 speakers & a 675W output đầu ra that can deliver an assault of noise that’ll shame the sound systems fitted to lớn cars costing three times the price.
Ford’s entrant into the small crossover segment is called the Eco
Sport, and is distinguished by the fact that it’s built in India for our market.
The entry màn chơi five-door SUV, Ecosport Ambiente priced at POA is powered by a three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol while the Ecosport Titanium, priced at $26,950 is powered by an 82k
W 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine driving all four wheels, & both are backed by a six-speed auto. It xeotoford.competes in the same space as the Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V, và although it"s a lovely little thing, lacks the sales traction of either rival.
