Powerful Performance Features

To get started, let’s go right under the hood of the 2019 EcoSport.

The standard 1.0L EcoBoost® engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology produces 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque capability features. If you’re looking for something with a bit more oomph behind it, the available 2.0L Ti-VCT engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology produces 166 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque capability.

As you can see, both engines come equipped with Auto Start-Stop Technology, which was designed to reduce fuel consumption by automatically shutting off the engine when it’s not needed.

The standard 6-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission provides you with a smooth and streamlined drive. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but if you want advanced traction control, be sure to add on the available Intelligent 4-Wheel-Drive (4WD) system.

Interior Comfort

Inside the interior cabin, you can comfortably sit up to five passengers in the 91.1 cubic feet of passenger volume. When it comes to cargo room, you’ll get 20.9 cubic feet when all the seats are upright, but if you fold down the 2^nd-row seats, you’re going to find up to 50 cubic feet of storage room.

Row	Headroom	Legroom	Hip Room	Shoulder Room
First Row	39.6 in.	42.9 in.	51.6 in.	53.3 in.
Second Row	37.5 in.	36.7 in.	50.9 in.	51.3 in.

 

No matter where you’re seated, you’re going to have plenty of room to stretch out and relax. For those chilly winter nights, the available heated front row seats are there to keep you nice and cozy.

Entertainment Technology Features

When it comes to entertainment features, the EcoSport certainly doesn’t disappoint.

The available SYNC® 3 system features an 8-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration, which allows you to connect your smartphone and access your music, audio streaming, contacts, messages, and apps. Also, your hands can stay on the wheel and focus can stay on the road thanks to the enhanced voice-recognition capability.

The available B&O™ Sound System by Bang & Olufsen includes 10 surround-sound speakers for an advanced listening experience.
