Ford EcoSport review, test drive

Ford has launched the EcoSport all guns blazing and that means 10 variants with three engine options – two petrols (a 1.0-litre and a 1.5-litre) and of course, a diesel. There’s also a twin-clutch automatic option, but only with the 1.5 petrol.

We’ve got with us the two versions that will undoubtedly be the most popular ones – the now almost mythical 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol, which Ford has been pushing hard, and the 1.5-litre diesel – an engine we know from the Ford Fiesta. With the EcoSport in showrooms now, the time is ripe for a full test – on the roads we know, through the same crazy traffic we face every morning and on the highways we regularly cruise down.
