A fairly comprehensive overhaul at the start of 2018 has resulted in a much better looking EcoSport. The lights at the front are larger, the rear-mounted wheel has gone (as standard) and there's been a raft of changes inside too
-
The entry-level Zetec trim level is quite well-equipped, with standard alloy wheels and air-conditioning, but you don’t get as much for your money as you’d expect with more expensive versions: the range-topping ST-Line (pictured) a trim added in 2018, however, does add the likes of an 8-inch touchscreen and the latest Sync 3 system that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
-
Perhaps one of the EcoSport’s biggest selling points is its engines, with the 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol, which is fairly economical on paper and outputs of 125PS and 140PS. The 1.5-litre diesel is the best choice for fuel economy if you often make long journeys
-
Interiors were majorly improved for 2018, and feature much nicer materials. There's also less wind noise and engine noise within the interior in comparison to older models
-
The boot is hinged at the side (the wrong side for UK buyers, too) and opens like a conventional door, which can restrict access in tight parking spaces, but at least it’s an improvement on early models, which had a spare wheel mounted on the boot door too(although this is still a possible option), requiring even more space to open it.
