New Ford EcoSport Facelift 2016 FULL REVIEW test driven - Autogefühl

[@Sidetops11]

For reference: 4:38 in addition to folding down, the seats tip up (by pulling the lever a second time) to create a flatter load area, and 10:47 is the same as a Fiesta steering wheel (not Focus) Otherwise a very good, informative, thorough review as usual :)

[@komalthecoolk]

he's not fully prepared

[@ruaangrobler3035]

I know this is an ancient video, but when you asked people to let you know about the value of a spare tire, I had to contribute. I live in South Africa. We have cities, sure, but also long stretches of road between them - in some instances 100's of kilometres with very little along the way, maybe a very basic petrol stop. In these instances a full-size spare is incredibly valuable, but fast decreasing in the market. I'm currently looking to buy a small car with a raised height for such travel, something that's good in a city, fair on the motorway but also able to drive on some rough gravel roads to get to the most scenic destinations. While I am a big BMW fan, currently driving a z4m from 2008, I'm not even considering an X1 or X3 for the fact that runflat tires are pointless when you are several 100s of kilometres away from any town, and the odds of that town having tires for that car are very slim. I just wish we got the Ecosport with a sunroof and AWD here, but we don't AFAIK, at least I can't find one in the used market. PS. I love your channel - you detail things that many don't and, frankly, your accent is charming and pleasant to listen to. I also like your sense of humour. Great job!

[@createandinnovate1843]

I always look up your reviews before buying a car you definitely have the best reviews. Keep it up Thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

+create and innovate 👍👍

[@ravindraju1]

I am from Malaysia. 2 months ago I bought a used (one owner only) Candy Red 2015 Ecosport Trend and I like it very much.

[@davidblass9808]

the ecosports do look beautiful and underestimated how do they drive?

[@andreasubito5580]

Another positive point is the high from the road... No 4x4 option, but Ecosport is good also in offroads conditions...

[@th-l8936]

Great video, as usual! Can you do an in-depth review on a Dacia Sandero Stepway please?

[@geoffreyrose7620]

I own a 1.5 petrol Ford Ecosport Titanium and it is very good on the open road , it accelerants well at speed .

[@niklas3428]

I have the 1.0l EcoBoost Titanium and the Speed is ok.

[@ParFektion]

So you are from Dortmund Thomas? Nice! My favorite football team when I was younger was Borussia Dortmund and especially Andy Möller 👍

[@autogefuehl]

+Angus MacGyver Originally yes :)

[@bernardinobantiguejr2166]

i actually own a ecosport for me its not ugly car when you see in actual and it perform well, the 550mm water wading did well.

[@Alexandru-Mihai]

In my opinion this Ford Ecosport is kind of similar to the Dacia Sandero Stepway. It's in this higher seating position, not really offroad, cheap small car segment. I would like to see a review of the Ford Focus with the 1.5L 150HP Ecoboost engine. On paper that car looks great!

[@paulleggett9735]

Hi was this shot at 60fps? Video quality streamed to large screen TV seems different to other recent videos. I thanks

[@gbriank1]

Reminds me of the Honda HR-V. Are you hearing any complaints with the SpeedShift transmission in Germany? My only complaint is the climate control buttons. It looks almost all the same and doesn't appear the buttons are lit. Something that would be a driving distraction. The inline-3 is a fantastic set-up. Extremely compact, peppy and well isolated by Ford engineers.

[@autogefuehl]

+Adrian Black We do have a HR-V static review from the IAA, seen that one ? Full driving review will be coming up next year

[@sonichedgehog9809]

A good looking car and lots of space, for the price it's pretty good deal.

[@AhmedRabah]

thank you

[@bluemoon6180]

New Ford EcoSport Facelift 2016 yesss i feel good

[@djmhyde]

what a coincidence, in the beginning of the video there is a VW Fox parked in the background, a brazilian car like Ecosport

[@ninod3724]

Did they fix the transmission issues with this model? Read a lot of complaints about the transmission especially in asia car forums.

[@hannibalUK1]

this seems like a micro SUV. quite interesting but I would have liked to see what it is like driven hard and on the motorway

[@csabafazekas3619]

The steering wheel is not from the Focus but the Fiesta. Tho great review ;)

[@autogefuehl]

+Csaba Fazekas said so in the press release .... thanks!

[@AG3333333]

No feature on the 2018 EcoSport ST-Line? The one unveiled in Frankfurt.

[@autogefuehl]

It's not that different tbh

[@AG3333333]

Autogefühl oh I see, you covered only the all-new models. Hopefully you get to review it when it's available, I read it has an all-new interior too and an AWD option.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Ugly duckling but cute sorta... For a utilitarian vehicle. Thomas, the windscreen angle seems to me very horizontal. Is the angle comparable to the Fiesta??

[@autogefuehl]

+Mario Dalla Riva I think its different!

[@Leonfr_2022]

Great video, I have a fiesta Titanium x with half leather, does that mean that it is actual leather and not artificial leather? Thanks

[@autogefuehl]

+chris atkins As far as I have researched, the mixed seats contain real leather

[@kngkrmson2179]

No, it's called "PowerShift". However, it's a very nice car. :)

[@azteck98]

all i saw was an e30 m3

[@白金-i4r]

+kurt roepke at 9:15

[@MarioDallaRiva]

👍🏻

[@autogefuehl]

+kurt roepke LOL =)

[@hpwan2]

the BMW following/overtaking the yolk colour ecosport is a builty.

[@vangk9122]

I got a chance to sit in this one. Fit and finish are improved, hkwever what's up with the hard plastics?!

[@autogefuehl]

+Van Gk yeah it has improved, however it still feels kinda old

[@vangk9122]

+Autogefühl yes, as tou said it is too similar to the Fiesta....but with hard plastics. Fiesta is already 7 years old for crying out loud.

[@theyellow8834]

I think they're alright

[@Buurbachi1]

16:09 i thought he said 3 holes for your vibrators.

[@doctorwho01]

S Mann 'for beverages' he said

[@kobbetop]

Shiny black plastic interior parts are not my favorite and the amount of buttons is too much. Outside look is OK, I actually like the yellow one although it seems Taxi's are almost the same color in Germany :-)

[@danielh2515]

I ordered my ecosport titanium s with the 140ps get it in a weeks time :)

[@Name-bb8wo]

How was it?

[@bosse641]

-------------> Ugly. ...........Ford makes nice cars. ...but this one was a mistake, clearly.

[@sweyne6710]

does anyone know if the automatic powershift problems have been fixed in Thailand/SE Asia market?

[@AG3333333]

Sweyne 67 the EcoSport went on sale in Southeast Asia in 2014, major issues have been sorted out by then. The EcoSport is the 3rd most popular Ford model in the region after the Ranger and Everest SUV. The 2018 EcoSports will move to the conventional SelectShift torque converter automatic transmission.

[@sweyne6710]

Bought one and love it ...

[@VinayKumar-db4qz]

It is the best selling mini SUV in India.

[@autogefuehl]

+Vinay Kumar thanks for the info, interesting!

[@ELGee1]

You guys stil record on dv tape ?

[@autogefuehl]

?!

[@ELGee1]

I see digital drops . Small blocks

[@ELGee1]

EL Gee maybe it was me phone. It did look typical for dv video compression tape errors

[@ELGee1]

EL Gee I mean the camera used outside the car when showing the presentator. what us that for cam er a

[@ELGee1]

Look at 1532 at the door you can see it

[@esadcosovic2018]

Please test Fiat 500X

[@Darkhoof]

Could you do a Fiat 500X review?

[@autogefuehl]

Hi, not planned yet but i ll think about it!

[@Darkhoof]

+Autogefühl Thanks, love your reviews! Amazingly detailed.

[@hodycorgan]

Did i missed somethink? where's de spare wheel located?

[@autogefuehl]

+Hody Corgan watched the whole stuff? I explain it

[@jhaabhishek]

The trunk opens the wrong way

[@williamellis1330]

No it doesn't

[@miguel.bc11]

Köln is nice!

[@thepoliticalbloggerusa1535]

Can you do the jeep wrangler.

[@autogefuehl]

+ThePoliticalBlogger USA Hey, I have ordered some Jeep Cherokee for next year, that will be the next jeep. After that I can also do the Wrangler!

[@thepoliticalbloggerusa1535]

Alright,Because I want to see how good they are with like they're handling before I decide to get it for high school.

[@soundseeker63]

Honestly, if you took all the badges off this car, I would guess it was a Suzuki model from around 2008. Not a Ford from 2015. It just seems cheap, I think a step down from other Fords like the Fiesta, Focus etc.

[@edreyez484]

where is the spare wheel?

[@autogefuehl]

Watch the whole review, explanation is in there

[@archie2473]

The video of the car is all front view, lol

[@autogefuehl]

+Archie Jocson hm?

[@Hmmmppffff]

This car makes no Sense in Europe. It does not look good, low interior quality. If you need the space better get a compact class car. For less developed countries it Great. Cheap, reliable, good for bad streets. They dont care about design and the feeling of touching a button XD In germany the Mazda CX-3, Cross polo and ofcours Opel Mokka will allways be prefered

[@ernestopoiri6574]

Quanti. Cc

[@rodrigorc4752]

Nobody is buying this in Brazil anymore.. It was totally crushed by the newcomers Jeep Renegade and Honda HR-V. Even Renault/DACIA Duster is selling more than the EcoSport. People realised how junk of car this is after they've seen the Renegade and it's interior(quality of materials). The door-mounted spare tire is something that people is not enjoying how it looks anymore, as well.

[@balakex]

Is that a German accent?

[@autogefuehl]

could be

[@rajvardhan7621]

I have titanium+

[@ast5515]

I don't see the point of bringing this car to Europe. People here usually have the money to buy something better. And even for the same money, I would rather sacrifice the higher seating position and buy something that I enjoy looking at. Also the interior is terrible. In the Fiesta ST, I can forgive it, but here and in the regular Fiesta, not really.

[@Pipsicle330]

This has been a complete sales flop in the UK. Ford make some great cars, why they inflicted this on their European customers is a mystery. "World" models are all fine and well but some should stay in other parts of the world where they were originally intended.

[@joesavory4976]

Where I live I see much more than I used to. The update has clearly worked wonders.

[@jannopuusepp1846]

Why is there a trend that cheap cars have to be ugly? I know that beauty is a very personal thing. But why most of the cheap cars are plain or just ugly? At some points I like this ford... but overall look is not very attractive. But maybe it is just me...

[@UnseenSpirit]

Jok Ker will you pay more for a good looking car? There's your answer.

[@kielerjung9776]

Wenn Sie das Gleiche nun nochmal in Deutsch machen könnten? Warum Englisch?

[@autogefuehl]

+Kieler Jung Hallo! Unsere Website für ausführliche Hintergrundinformationen machen wir auf Deutsch.Die Videos laufen über KZbin und erreichen ein internationales Publikum, sehr viele Zuschauer aus USA, Deutschland, Großbritannien, Japan, Russland und weitere aus über 100 Ländern der Welt. Darum sind die meisten unserer Videos auf Englisch. Die meisten deutschen Videozuschauer verstehen auch Englisch, aber fast alle anderen verstehen kein Deutsch. Insofern ist es nur logisch, die Videos auf Englisch anzubieten, was auch sehr gut ankommt.Wir würden uns freuen, wenn du auf Deutsch unsere Text-Berichterstattung verfolgst und auch hier unsere englischen Videos. Herzliche Grüße Thomas

[@kielerjung9776]

Oh...hallo Thomas, natürlich verstehe ich Englisch. Aber ich dachte mir, warum macht er mit diesem sehr deutschen Akzent denn nicht einfach ein deutsches Video. Die Erklärung leuchtet mir ein...vielen Dank.

[@johnnywires3788]

get this folks the best is the 1.0l turbo.it pushes out 125 bhp.now,like me ,if you want an automatic.they only do it as a 1.5 with less power and economy.daaaaaaaaaaaaa.am i missing something here or are ford that stupid.BRING OUT THE 1.0L AS AN AUTOMATIC ALSO.many people want that.

[@sirjongtv]

NIÑO

[@BatuKMan1]

The interior seems worse (materials and build) than the Fiesta, plus it' ugly. Honda HRV or Mazda CX-3 look and feel much better, one gets more value for money than this Ford.

[@marc_der_bar2041]

This is not the Facelift

[@navteh534]

Ford's are losing it !

[@jesusb1559]

Pésimos carro. Muy muy malas

[@rationalBel]

let somebody please take this ugly, poor quality car back to where it belongs, south america. And that cheap, tacky antenna above the windscreen doesn't belong in 2015 Ford. I can live with a dacia duster, but this is a bridge to far.

[@XQUADRA1]

dont like the outside dont like even more the inside it looks so ugly and it copy paste from fiesta

[@sokmenkan2160]

Bad bad bad.unfortunately ford quality is getting worst, they wasted Focus first, made a lower quality car, now they are continue to produce basic and low quality bad cars

[@MrAlgerian38]

I think Ford is one the best mark on the world.

[@MrAlgerian38]

+MrAlgerian38 *of the best

[@raajaramashettyuppala9058]

too preachy & mumblings

[@martinzone8153]

This car is an outdated joke...

[@escapology7]

Martin Zone your display is an outdated joke

[@YusukeShirogane]

All Ford cars is ugly imo.

[@martyr3498]

Not a black explorer tho

[@gdmoto4176]

search for Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Ford Everest Titanium you may change your mind asian market is better @ design TBH
