Significant standard features for the 2018 EcoSport S include Ford SYNC, two smart-charging USB ports, 60/40 fold-flat rear seats, Rear View Camera, Hill Start Assist, and Torque Vectoring Control. Upgrades with the EcoBoost SE include SYNC 3, power moonroof with sunshade, Reverse Sensing System, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
The EcoSport Titanium adds leather-trimmed and perforated seats, 17-inch Premium Dark Stainless-painted machined aluminum wheels, voice-activated touchscreen navigation, and B&O PLAY Premium Audio by HARMAN. At the top of the line, the EcoSport SES comes standard with a 2.0-liter Ti-VCT I-4 engine with Auto Start-Stop, Intelligent 4WD, Bling Spot Information System, uniquely-colored leather-trimmed interior, and a sport-tuned suspension.
With standard 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine with Auto Start-Stop, six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive powertrain, Ford reports that the EcoSport gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. The same EPA estimates are listed for the EcoSport SES, though the larger engine and four-wheel drive suggest that it would be lower in actuality; neither powertrain is listed at FuelEconomy.gov. Adding the 2.0-liter Ti-VCT and 4WD to the EcoSport S, SE, and Titanium is optional as a $1,500 option.
The 2018 Ford EcoSport is set to hit dealerships sometime in early 2018. You can configure yours at shop.ford.com/build/ecosport.
