    Ford EcoSport [2017-2019] Trend + 1.5L TDCi Review

    The general consensus around the old Ford EcoSport has long been that it’s a tough looking but sparsely equipped compact SUV that’s expensive to maintain. Nonetheless, that simply isn’t the case anymore. To begin with, in the last few years Ford India has expanded its service and spares network and as a result, the EcoSport indeed is low on maintenance and on par with the local adversaries.

    Introduction

    The general consensus around the old Ford EcoSport has long been that it’s a tough looking but sparsely equipped compact SUV that’s expensive to maintain. Nonetheless, that simply isn’t the case anymore. To begin with, in the last few years Ford India has expanded its service and spares network and as a result, the EcoSport indeed is low on maintenance and on par with the local adversaries. 

    The old EcoSport was a car that, for Ford, represented a bold move away from what the brand offered back in the day. It came with all the SUV credentials including macho styling, fat tyres and high ground clearance while ducking under the crucial sub-4m mark. It was a winning recipe. Half a decade later, the recipe is still the same but with substantial upgrades to the interior, drivetrain and the design. Say hello to the new Ford EcoSport which couldn’t have come at a better time, particularly given the rising competition in recent times. 

    Design and Style

    This 2017/18 upgrade for the EcoSport is more than a facelift though it’s not a full-on generation change either. As a result, the dimensions are still the same and there aren’t any drastic sheet metal changes either. That said, the front-end is entirely new and embraces a large trapezoidal grille with the Blue Oval logo, pretty much like the Ford’s global SUV line-up (the car no longer gets a twin grille setup). 

    The sculpted hood features a wider central dome and the headlights, too, are larger than before. All in all, the in-your-face stance of the old car has made way for a design that’s arguably more mature and present-day. As for the rest of the updates, the only other design change is apparent as you move onto the sides – here you will find the new 17-inch alloy wheels which, along with the low profile rubber, make the EcoSport look genuinely sporty. However, these 17-inchers are limited to the Titanium+ trim. Additionally, this top-spec trim gets chrome finish for the grille, satin aluminium for the roof rails and LED DRLs with projector headlamps. The lower-spec variants, meanwhile, come with halogen headlamps, silver finish for the grille and black roof rails. 

    Interior

    Unlike the modest exterior makeover, the interior design and layout has been extensively updated – a fact that is obvious the moment you open the door. Everything from the dashboard and the dials to the steering wheel is completely new – only the top half of the dash is somewhat similar to the old car. Nonetheless, the design now is much cleaner and more simplified as there are fewer buttons and knobs.

    Whereas the old car’s cabin featured a black and grey combination, this new model gets an all-black treatment with some silver and piano black trim bits for contrast. While the overall quality is on par with the segment, some of the plastics aren’t exactly well finished – the opening for the cubby hole around the steering column is poorly finished and the glovebox opening isn’t well engineered either. Also, we aren’t fans of the new simple design for the instrument cluster which makes it look like it belongs to a car from the 90s.

    In terms of ergonomics, the EcoSport puts up a strong show with well laid out controls, great driving position and most important of all, the tilt and telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel. Storage is adequately addressed with two cup holders and decent-sized door pockets, although the glove-box is a touch too small. The EcoSport also gets a centrally located media bin to stow a smartphone while charging. Ford says it’s designed to accommodate a phone as large as an iPhone 7 Plus. Outward visibility was never among the EcoSport’s strong points and things are more or less the same in here. Despite the less bulky dash which is set lower than before, the Ford is still a little difficult to drive through traffic or park due to the massive A-pillars and a small rear glass. 

    Take a seat behind the wheel and the EcoSport’s cabin feels comfortable enough without that sense of absolute airiness. This is down to the narrow cabin (compared to the rivals) and the all-black treatment which adds to the helmed in feeling. That said, the driving position is spot on and the front seats are now wider. What’s more, the OEM leather seats are of good quality and make the cabin more premium than the competition. While there’s a great deal of headroom and lateral support, the passenger side knee room isn’t as generous as the driver side – the centre console is angled more on the passenger side and fouls with their knees. At the rear, you will find a better sense of legroom thanks to the scooped out front seats - they do work and liberate more knee room. The headroom, meanwhile, is copious as always and the softer cushioning is great, too. What’s not so great though is the lack of shoulder room (when all the seats are occupied) due to the contoured backrest and the narrow width.

    The 352-litre boot is unchanged and like before, it’s got a wide opening and a fairly low loading lip. More crucially, the boot is also larger than the competition and the floor is adjustable with three height settings so that you can align the boot floor when the seats are folded flat.

    Safety and Equipment

    What catches your attention as soon as you step in is the all-new 8-inch touchscreen display for the infotainment system. It not only looks smart and premium but is also plenty quick and easy to operate. The UI is crisp and the whole deal works incredibly smoothly – it is easily the most intuitive infotainment system for the price. 

    Besides the infotainment system which comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Titanium+ trim also comes with climate control, height adjustable driver’s seat, electric mirrors, alloy wheels, projector headlamps, daytime running LEDs, 6 airbags and ABS. The EcoSport also gets segment-first features like leather seats, tire pressure monitoring system and ambient foot well lighting. Oddly enough, you can’t have the petrol manual model in the top-spec Titanium+ trim as the range tops out at Titanium. It misses out on features such as cruise control, side airbags, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlamps and rear view camera.

    Engine, Performance and Braking

    Ford has revised the engine range for the EcoSport and for this new model, introduced an entirely new 3-cylinder petrol engine. The new motor can be had with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter. The diesel, meanwhile, is the tried and tested 1.5-litre TDCI 4-cylinder motor. 

    The new 1.5-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine is dubbed ‘Dragon’. Replacing the old EcoBoost turbocharged motor, this naturally aspirated unit (putting out 123bhp and 150Nm of torque) is fairly advanced, featuring an aluminium block and cylinder head. To address the inherent imbalanced nature of the 3-cylinder configuration, Ford has integrated a balancer shaft to reduce the vibrations. At idle, there is a tiny bit of vibration coming through the pedals and the door armrest though once you get the car up to speed, it all smoothens out. In fact, on the move, this three-cylinder motor is incredibly smooth as long as you don’t floor it. The power output looks good on paper but you have to bear in mind that the EcoSport is a heavy car (1250kg for petrol MT, 1320kg for petrol AT and 1300kg for diesel MT, as tested) and this puts demand on each and every horsepower. Around town, the three-cylinder motor/auto box combo is impressive, with good low-end response from the motor and smooth shifts from the torque converter. Speaking of which, this engine pulls surprisingly well from low revs without knocking thanks to the healthy bottom-end. Being naturally aspirated, it delivers power in a linear manner right until 6,500rpm as it revs freely to the redline. 

    The 6-speed torque converter is also new and for puttering around town in traffic, it works just fine. On part throttle, the gearshifts are smooth if not quick. It will upshift at around 2,000rpm with a light foot and as you press on the throttle, the shift points get higher (between 3,500 and 5,000rpm). Thankfully, it allows the car to crawl till 5kmph from standstill as you go off the brakes which is handy in rush hour traffic. All in all, it’s a decent, no-nonsense transmission that does a good job of adding convenience to your daily drives. In our acceleration and roll-on tests, the EcoSport petrol auto recorded a 0-100kmph sprint time of 12.08 seconds and took 9.52 seconds to accelerate from 40 to 100kmph. The manual gearbox equipped model, on the other hand, took 11.76 seconds to hit 100kmph from standstill. The 5-speed manual has a light shift action and clutch pedal; however, it’s not as slick as we would like.

    The diesel powered EcoSport retains the 1.5-litre, four-cylinder motor from its predecessor. On the face of it, this engine still makes 99bhp and a healthy 205Nm of torque but we found it to be noticeably smoother and a bit more responsive than before. It’s a strong performer around town, one that remains quiet and refined – something you will appreciate the more time you spend driving the car. The refinement extends to the 5-speed manual gearbox which is light and smooth and makes good use of the engine’s torque to keep things ticking along strongly. While there is still some turbo lag below 2,000rpm, the engine pulls hard in the midrange and once rolling, the EcoSport simply rides that solid torque delivery up to highway speeds. Unsurprisingly, the diesel model turned out to be a whole second quicker to the ton compared to the old car, dispatching 0-100kmph in 12.50 seconds. It’s also slightly quicker in-gear, hitting 20-80kmph in third in 12.70 seconds and 40-100kmph in fourth in 15.09 seconds. 

    Ride and Handling

    The old EcoSport was brilliant around corners, where it was praised for its planted feel and good composure. The suspension was firmly set-up after all and while it dealt with bad roads comfortably, the ride was compromised a bit. As for this new model, Ford has worked on optimizing the suspension bushes and softened the shocks and the revisions haven’t been in vain since it’s fair to say that the EcoSport rides better than it used to. There is an extra layer of suppleness to the ride (especially the heavier diesel model) over sharp-edged potholes and road joints and we noticed that the lower-spec petrol variant with the higher profile rubber seemed to ride better overall. The suspension is still a little noisy over bumps, but it remains relatively composed. Also, there is still a hint of firmness to the way this thing rides over bad roads (especially with the 17-inch rims and the super low profile tyres), but the upshot is that you get a car that holds its line brilliantly through the corners and remains composed at high speeds. Similarly, the steering feels just as direct and quick at initial turn-in despite being worked on for a softer bite. You will encounter more body roll compared to something like a Vitara Brezza, however, you can safely lean on it and be assured that the car will hold its line seamlessly. 

    Price and Fuel Economy

    Over the years, Ford has bumped up the prices of the EcoSport though the new model is still decent value given the host of additional new features. The petrol range is priced between Rs 7.67 lakh and Rs 11.20 lakhs whereas the diesel range comes in between Rs 8.27 lakh and Rs 10.89 lakhs. All prices ex-showroom. 

    As for the all-important fuel economy, the EcoSport petrol automatic returned 9.89kmpl in the city and 13.07kmpl on the highway under our testing cycle. The manual, meanwhile, delivered 10.02kmpl and 12.96kmpl respectively. As expected, the diesel powered EcoSport topped the list, delivering 13.8kmpl in the city and 18.8kmpl on the highway.

        Specifications

        • Engine & Transmission

          • Engine
            1498 cc, 4 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

            Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

          • Engine Type
            1.5L DV5 (Diesel)

            The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.

            A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.

          • Fuel Type
            Diesel

            All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

          • Max Power (bhp@rpm)
            99 bhp @ 3750 rpm

            Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

            Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

          • Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
            205 Nm @ 1750 rpm

            Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

            The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

          • Mileage (ARAI)
            23 kmpl

            This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

            Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

          • Drivetrain
            FWD

            Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

            Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

          • Transmission
            Manual - 5 Gears

            Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

            A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

          • Turbocharger / Supercharger
            Turbocharged

            Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

            Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

        • Dimensions & Weight

          • Length
            3998 mm

            The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

            Length
            • Length: 3998

            Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

          • Width
            1765 mm

            A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

            Width
            • Width: 1765

            Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

          • Height
            1647 mm

            The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

            Height
            • Height: 1647

            Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

          • Wheelbase
            2519 mm

            The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

            Wheelbase
            • Wheelbase: 2519

            The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

          • Ground Clearance
            200 mm

            It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.

            Ground Clearance
            • Ground Clearance: 200

            If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

          • Kerb Weight
            1280 kg

            The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.

            A lightweight car will always be more efficient and easier to manoeuvre whereas a heavy car would give you a sense of solidity while driving.

        • Capacity

          • Doors
            5 Doors

            The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.

            Doors
            • Doors: 5
          • Seating Capacity
            5 Person

            The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.

          • No of Rows
            2 Rows

            Smaller cars usually have two rows which can seat five, but some SUVs and MPVs have three rows and can seat around 7-8 passengers.

          • Bootspace
            352 litres

            Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

            Bootspace
            • Bootspace: 352

            A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

          • Fuel Tank Capacity
            52 litres

            The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

            If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.

        • Suspensions, Brakes, Steering & Tyres

          • Front Suspension
            Independent McPherson

            Almost all cars in India use an independent front suspension which is usually the MacPherson Strut type.

          • Rear Suspension
            Semi-independent twist beam

            The rear suspension can either be non-independent or independent.

            Most of the budget cars have non-independent suspension while the more expensive ones get independent rear suspension which offers better bump absorption.

          • Front Brake Type
            Disc

            Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.

            - The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.

          • Rear Brake Type
            Drum

            In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.

            Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.

          • Minimum Turning Radius
            5.3 metres

            The official kerb-to-kerb minimum radius a car takes to complete a 180-degree turn.

            Shorter the turning radius, the lesser space you need to make a tight turn or to take a U-turn.

          • Steering Type
            Power assisted (Electric)

            Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

          • Wheels
            Steel Rims

            The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.

            Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.

          • Spare Wheel
            Steel

            Important in a country with varying quality of roads, spare wheels ensure one doesn’t get stranded when one of the main tyres gets damaged.

            Select premium car models feature space savers (smaller than the stock wheels) to save on boot space.

          • Front Tyres
            205 / 60 R16

            The profile/dimension of rubber tyre that fits on the front wheels.

          • Rear Tyres
            205 / 60 R16

            The profile/dimension of rubber tyre that fits on the rear wheels.

        Features

        • Safety

          • Rear Middle Head Rest
            No

            A headrest for the middle occupant of the second-row of seats.

            Budget cars are usually not offered with headrests for the middle occupant of the second-row to save on costs. Headrests are instrumental in reducing whiplash injuries in case of an accident

          • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
            No

            A digital gauge that provides the live status of the air pressure in every tyre of a car.

            For accurate readings, ensure that the sensors on the rim are not tampered with during any wheel/tyre repairs

          • Child Seat Anchor Points
            No

            Anchor points or strap systems built into car seats to keep child seats in place, especially during a crash

            ISOFIX is an international standard for child seat anchor points, but not all car manufacturers follow this standard

          • Seat Belt Warning
            Yes

            Mandatory fitment in cars sold in India, emits loud beeps when it detects that occupants are not wearing their seatbelts.

            Seat belt warning is mandatory for front-seat occupants, but it is recommended that all occupants wear seat belts.

        • Braking & Traction

          • Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
            Yes

            An electronic system that prevents the tyres from locking and skidding in emergency braking situations by pulsing the brakes (quickly releasing and reapplying the brakes)

            ABS is a great accident prevention technology, allowing drivers to steer while braking hard
