Explore the 2018 Ford EcoSport in Holyoke, MA

Poised to be a strong contender in the subcompact crossover segment, the 2018 Ford EcoSport is an all-new model for the Ford lineup.  In fact, you might have already seen it whizzing around Chicopee and wondered what it had to offer. Today we're going to do a deep dive on the EcoSport and see what specs and trim-specific amenities and technologies it has to offer!

EcoSport Design

Power and capability

The EcoSport has two engines. The first is a 1.0L with 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft torque. If you want a little more pep on your commute around Westfield, there is a 2.0L with 166 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque.

Size

Its small stature makes it an appealing choice for college students, young professionals, and even people looking to downsize from a larger SUV. It's 161 inches long, which is notably shorter than the Ford Escape that comes in at 178 inches. Basically, parallel parking in busy Springfield will be a piece of cake!

Don't let the EcoSport's pint-size nature take away from its cargo capabilities. With all seats up you'll have 20 cubic feet and 50 cubic feet with the back seats folded flat. That's more than its rival the Chevy Trax! The EcoSport is also unique in that the tailgate opens to the side instead of up, and the cargo area has an adjustable floor. Use it to make a shelf or to keep valuables out of sight.

EcoSport Equipment and Safety Features

Technology

The EcoSport may be an entry-level crossover, but since its target market skews younger, designers made sure shoppers had plenty of tech features. The SYNC®3 infotainment system is standard on all trims except for the base, and it has smartphone integrations via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.

Safety Features

All EcoSport's come standard with a rearview camera for confident backups and Bluetooth so you can stream calls and music while driving around West Springfield without having to pick up your phone. If you have an EcoSport with SYNC®3 you'll get 911 Assist in the event of an emergency. Some trims also have a blind spot technology with rear cross-traffic alerts.

Available Features

As you can see, this subcompact crossover has a lot going for it, but here are a few other trim-dependent features worth highlighting. There's voice-activated navigation system which is extremely helpful if you're getting outside of your familiar Agawam territory, a moonroof for warmer days, the ability to power-adjust your seat for maximum travel comfort, and if you want to want to keep your hands warm in the winter there is the Cold Weather Package with a heated steering wheel.

Available Trim Configurations For the 2018 EcoSport

S

The base model is perfect for drivers who are on a budget or prefer to keep their vehicles on the simpler side. You'll get automatic headlights, Bluetooth and a rearview camera, cruise control, and SYNC with voice-recognition software.

SE

The SE offers a little more technology. There's LED lights and fog lights, a rear parking sensor, moonroof, and keyless entry and start so you don't need to search your bag for your keys. There's also a little more refinement in the way of a leather-wrapped steering wheel, SYNC®3 with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, and a 6-way power adjusting seat. Lastly, SE shoppers can add on the SE Convenience Package with navigation, ambient lighting, and more!

SES

This trim has all the SE's Convenience Package features, plus leather-trimmed seats with cloth panels, a larger 8-inch touchscreen, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Drivers who appreciate performance will want to check out the SES because it has a sport-tuned suspension, paddle shifters, and a bit of edge with black exterior styling.

Titanium

The top-level trim really has it all. You'll get full leather upholstery, heated mirrors, and a premium Bang & Olufsen audio system. With all these features, the Titanium would be perfect to buy and enjoy for the long haul.
