2020 Ford EcoSport

The 2020 Ford EcoSport is a sub-compact crossover utility vehicle (CUV) that sits underneath the Ford Escape within the Ford lineup. Capable of seating up to five passengers, the Ford EcoSport is the smallest and most affordable utility vehicle sold by the Ford Motor Company. Its main goal is to be cheap, fuel efficient and easy to maneuver in dense urban areas.

While the EcoSport has been on sale in other markets since 2003, the second-generation model first appeared in the U.S. and Canadian markets during the 2018 model year.

Changes, Updates, New Features

Since the Ford EcoSport was recently added to the Ford lineup, it sees no significant changes for the 2020 model year. However, there are talks that the vehicle might undergo a mid-cycle refresh in 2021. Rumors stipulate that the EcoSport could even be replaced all together by something based on the Europe-only Ford Puma, or the Ford C2 platform.

Exterior

• The EcoSport’s design evokes that of a lifted subcompact car rather than that of an actual truck, with sub-compact proportions and short front and rear overhangs.
• Horizontally opening rear door leads to a lower than average loading floor and easier access to the vehicle’s trunk.
• SES trim adds unique blacked out body accents, headlights and model-specific 17-inch wheels.

Interior

• Like its exterior, the EcoSport’s interior mimics that of a small car, rather than a truck, with excellent outward visibility thanks to a lifted ride height.
• Contrasting color combinations help create an active, youthful look.
• Available 8-inch screen incorporating Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system.
• Available B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen.

Body Styles

The Ford EcoSport is a sub-compact crossover utility vehicle that comes in only one body style no matter which trim level is selected. Total number of doors is five including the horizontally opening hatch. However, unique styling cues are applied to the Titanium and SES trim levels to distinguish them from the rest of the EcoSport lineup.
