Ford EcoSport MPG

2020 Ford EcoSport


If your daily drive takes you through the densely packed urban streets, the Ford EcoSport is light enough on its feet—er, wheels—to see you through! Small and athletic, it has another quality you’ll love on the roads of Boone and Morganton, North Carolina: good gas mileage.

What, exactly, are the Ford EcoSport MPG numbers? This subcompact SUV earns an EPA-estimated 27 city and 29 highway MPG at its most efficient. Newland and Lenoir adventurers can learn more below, courtesy of our team at Cloninger Ford Morganton!


Ford EcoSport MPG: EcoBoost® Efficiency

Ford EcoSport EngineThe Ford EcoSport owes its excellent gas mileage ratings to a standard 1.0L EcoBoost® 3-cylinder engine. Paired with standard Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and a 6-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, it sees the incredible ratings we mentioned above and cranks out 123 horsepower.

All EcoBoost® engines help Ford SUVs travel farther on less fuel. They use Auto Start-Stop Technology to save fuel during stop-and-go city driving. As you come to a complete stop, the engine will automatically shut off until you release the brakes.

A more powerful 2.0L Ti-VCT engine is available, too. It boosts your output to 166 horsepower and offers Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) for more traction on wet roads. The 23 city and 29 highway MPG ratings are nice, too!

EcoSport: Aerodynamic & Exciting to Drive

Travel wisely with the Ford EcoSport’s smart technologies. To help reduce air resistance and increase gas mileage, the vehicle can adjust its active grille shutters to direct more air smoothly through.

It’s one more way to boost your MPG in the EcoSport. You’ll love the way this ride handles, too, with the electric power-assisted steering. When you come upon potholes and cracks in the asphalt, the EcoSport uses its steering system to help smooth out minor vibrations and correct for irregularities.

Need to hitch up a jet ski for a drive out to the coast? The EcoSport is game for anything. It can trailer up to 1,400 pounds with the base engine and 2,000 pounds with the available 2.0L Ti-VCT engine.

A Practical Daily Driver for Morganton NC

Ford EcoSport Interior Cargo SpaceFor the highest fuel economy, it’s always best to lighten the load. When you do need room for your gear or some items you need to pick up, though, the Ford EcoSport has the space for it.

Touch the button on the passenger-side taillamp to open the rear swing gate. Yes, it swings open to the side rather than up! Then, you can load or unload with ease. Use an interior cargo cover to keep all your belongings hidden when you hit the streets.

All told, the EcoSport offers 20.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. You can fold the 60/40 flip-up and split-fold-flat rear seats and reveal up to 50 cubic feet for those longer items.
