We take the 2018 Ford Ecosport Crossover Offroading (Full Review)

[@boats274]

Just bought a 2018 Ford Eco Sport SE last week and I have to say that so far, so good! I'm loving it. I wasn't looking for an off road vehicle though. I just think it is sensible for me. I'm a 54 yo woman who wanted something that wasn't overpowering for me to climb into (I'm 5'3"), but did not want a car. I'm not one who drives around a bunch of friends however (for which this would be too small). I have 2 small grandchildren (from time to time) and a pug, so this is a perfect fit for us. We enjoy the heck out of it! It does great on the hwy and in the city, has some great safety features, and gets me from point A to B. That's all that is important to me. :-)

[@babayaga1489]

I bought a 2018 Ford Ecosport here in India and believe me it's a beast. It's the same looks except that Ford has retained the spare wheel mounted on its tail which for me gives an advantage of a more sportier look than its rivals. Mine's a 1.5 ltr Dragon series petrol engine.Its the best fun to drive car in the market.

[@claudeervin5518]

This is my second favorite SUV/crossover after the Expedition. After seeing the EcoSport in person, it grew on me. If I was to get one, I would opt with the spare tire.

[@KAT-rz7wf]

For Americans ,used to cars like suburban, Tahoe , escalade, a small 4seater car like EcoSport may be a insult to their V8 egos. But there are countries where fuel is expensive and people don't have similar buying power, for them this is a funky cute car which does get the job done..

[@BeesonsCars]

kevin alex this gets pretty terrible mpg though. It can’t even crack 28 highway mpg. The escape gets much better fuel economy with more powerful engines.

[@cowtipper123456]

Had an Ecojunk... sport for a rental once, it was a horrible car all around! Cruising 55-60 mph for a few hundred miles we averaged 23-25 mpg. Absolutely horrible fuel economy.

[@BeesonsCars]

Nathan Hunt my mom has a Ford Escape 2.5 (2014) and it’s a great little car around town, but sucks on the highway/interstate. We took it on a 400 mile road trip mostly on the interstate at an average of like 84 mph and we got 24.5 mpg. We did the same trip a few months earlier in my Merc S550 with a 5.5 V8 and got 25 mpg (hand calculated on both). These cars only get good gas mileage under 70 or so. Which if you’re traveling on the interstate is quite dangerous. I was just shocked my big 4700 pound V8 sedan got better mileage than the light four cylinder crossover.

[@Milan4038]

Nathan Hunt take the 1.0 ecoboost then. I averaged 55mpg on the highway in belgium with 75mph. And it feels even faster then the 2.0

[@KAT-rz7wf]

In India we have the 1.5ltr dragon series petrol. Gets around 12km/ litre.

[@jomarilangamon8455]

This model though doesnt use ford fiesta engine anymore

[@eclypse3d]

But its for a market for someone who wants a smaller SUV but larger than a Focus that has AWD capabilities. If fits the bill, I wish however that they had it in a 2.0 Ecoboost powered version. That would make it one of the must buy compacts in my book. 240-260HP is what it needs its only like 300 lbs lighter than my mustang and I have .3 more liters but I have over 160 more horsepower and something like 200 more torque.

[@BHUFF]

I bought one over the trax ,I’am a chevy guy, but this has 2000 pnds trailering enough for my fishing boat and awd is nice on those slippery ramps, power is more than adequate with the 2.0, besides if I want speed I have a LS powered miata.

[@anarchyeric6537]

I own a base model, 1.0 ecoboost non 4x4. and I absolutely love it. for only 120 hp its pretty peppy and still gets great mpg. I would have loved to get a base model 2.0 with 4x4 but its a significant price jump. and then adding the trim packages on top of that is just not the way to go in a car like this. if you can afford it, get the 2.0 base model over the 1.0. Simply based on the fact that it is AWD... If you cant make the 4k price jump, you will be so happy with your purchase of a base model 1.0 ecoboost non 4x4. the only difference platinum has over the SE or SEL is mood lights and leather. you get the same sync 3 and back up cam as the platinum. plus with ford discounts the entry lvl price for this goes from 18k to 16k and will only go down as long as they are available this year. GO GET ONE!!!! maybe even TWO!

I test drove one of these. The SES trim has paddle shifters. The only complaint(s) it's a little underpowered for merging onto the highway and there's no manual transmission option. Otherwise, you get great tech stuff and lots of equipment. The heated steering wheel is great in New Hampshire. I was glad to see this video because I really didn't think it had any off roading capabilities. It's back on the short list. Thank you for doing this review.

[@michaelmaddy278]

I question some of Fords decisions, no turbo for the 2.0, why didn’t they put a little more aggressive tires on it, or a little more performance an appearance packages as options. I think it looks just as good or better than other cars people compare it to.

[@juslangley]

If I have to see one more crossover...

[@bongodave13]

I just bought an '18 SES. All the SES models had AWD and sport suspension. I'm guessing it's a little stiffer than other models, but I haven't driven another model to compare them. First, it's fun to drive and handles well for what it is. Second, it has a standard torque converter, not a CVT, which is why it can tow 2000 lbs. Third, it's not fast, but the power is adequate. It could use more torque. It's a shame they didn't put the 1.5 3-cylinder Ecoboost in it, but that would make it more expensive, and quicker than the base Escape, and that's a no-no. The 2.0 Duratec has been around for years and it's proven reliable. This engine at 166 hp is the most powerful version that Ford produced. Good enough. As long as I can get gasoline, I'll keep it. It's just what I need for a winter car. It even has the winter package. That'll be nice.

[@Jasonrcsd]

wasn't the 1.5 Ecoboost engine a POS? If I recall correctly there is a TSB on it and the only fix is to replace the small block.

I think it's pretty cool. I wish we'd get a diesel version and a real off road package. I'm sure the typical one sells for close to 20K in the real world. I bought a 2018 Fusion Hybrid last year. It gets 43-48 MPG and paid 22K on the road. It stickered at 27K. The new Focus comes in a Hybrid . Maybe they'll do this as a Hybrid or all electric.

Man I just loved your review about this car. I have bought one here in Brazil about 8 months ago when it was launched and since there there was only happines. I'm not a fanboy about the brand or something like it and I already had a lot of cars in my life and this one is impressive. In Brazil the starting version is the SE 1.5 3 cylinder 4x2 front wheel drive with 5 gears manual transmission and mine is this one but with and automatic 6 speed gearbox and the car works amazingly. One thing here that is really a con is the rear suspension designed for the lunar brazilian roads, we do not have independent one except for the top version that costs 1/4 more of the price (here we have two versions called Titanium 4x2 2.0 and 1.5 and Storm 2.0 AWD).
