Ford EcoSport

Ford EcoSport

The Ford EcoSport is a Compact SUV designed and built in Brazil by Ford. The EcoSport is one of Ford's best-seller models in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. Its main competitors are the Fiat Idea Adventure, Volkswagen CrossFox and Chevrolet Tracker.

Versions

The EcoSport has been available with five straight-4 engines:

* Zetec-Rocam 1.0 L gasoline 8v supercharged, 95 hp (discontinued in 2006)
* Zetec-Rocam 1.6 8v gasoline/ethanol, Convert|111|hp|kW|0|abbr=on
* Duratec 2.0 L gasoline 16v Convert|145|hp|kW|0|abbr=on
* PSA 1.4 L HDi Diesel, Convert|68|hp|kW|0|abbr=on (this engine is for export only)

All models have front-wheel drive with manual transmission as standard. The 2.0-litre model can also receive a four-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. In the latter case, an electronically-controlled system lets the driver engage the rear axle from the dashboard.

Since the EcoSport went on sale, the car has sold well, consistently appearing on the 10 best-selling vehicles on Brazil list.

In late 2007 a restyling was introduced, which renewed the front to bring it closer to modern Ford pick-ups as well as the recent Brazilian Fiesta restyling, and updated the rear lights and interior materials.
