Ford Ecosport FAQs

• Is a Ford EcoSport a good car?

  One of the reasons the EcoSport has been discontinued is that it failed to make a true connection with new car buyers. In this hotly-contested section of the market, there is no shortage of competition, with each brand effectively offering at least one model in this category nowadays. The Ford EcoSport offered fewer advanced safety features than some of its peers, while the engine is not quite as potent as some of those in other compact SUVs. Nonetheless, it still provides a competent and well-rounded choice of vehicle.

• Is the Ford EcoSport economical?

  Although the Ford EcoSport offers a respectable level of frugality thanks to its efficient assortment of engines, including no diesel option, and decent fuel economy, that will depend on the exact model that you opt for. The 1.0-litre EcoBoost model was a particular standout for fuel efficiency, but you may also want to look at some of the EcoSport's peers in this space, including the Hyundai Kona for example.

• Has the Ford EcoSport been discontinued?

  The Ford EcoSport has already been discontinued by the blue-oval brand, however, you might still be able to find a limited number of runout models available, if you're lucky. Ford made the decision to phase out the compact SUV in late 2020 after taking its last batch of stock and with the arrival of the all-new small SUV/crossover in the Ford Puma. The Puma offers a new level of styling and space optimisation, making it a great alternative if you were considering the EcoSport.
