Built in India

I Had a 2021 that the transaxle had to be replaced at 13,000 miles the overall performance was a lack of acceleration when pulling away from stoplights and merging onto highways

Great choice in car

2021 Ecosport SE has almost everything an owner would need. Great car, great features! Give it a slightly higher engine and it could be the best in its class among its competitors!

Ford Motor Company has a winning small SUV!

For the money, it’s a decent buy! I am averaging almost 30 mpg! It handles well! Acceleration is fair. Again, not a bad buy!!! Get one, asap!

Handles like a ford focus. Great value SUV.

I purchased this vehicle after I realized that I needed a reliable SUV with 4 wheel drive to survive 4 seasons living on the East Coast. I got the 2021 Ford Ecosport SE AWD version. It is equipped with everything I need. As a single woman with a small dog, it has enough room for a small dog carrier and can easily be adjusted on the interior to accommodate me if I need to sleep in it overnight. Although it does not have leather features, it does have perfect lighting, heated seats, a moonroof, and a large lit up screen that displays radio and sirius radio modes. Also, it easily picks up bluetooth signal from my Samsung galaxy smartphone and makes hands free calling possible as I am driving on the freeway. Very cool! The heating, A/C, and defrost system is exceptional and the ride overall is very smooth. However, on bumpy terrain it does not ride as well. The field of vision is excellent with all blind spots covered by excellent mirror system all around and it is equipped with a backup camera that alerts driver of any possible collisions before they occur. Also, the drivers dashboard display quickly alerts driver of slippery or icy road conditions so driver may choose to select the 'S' or 4WD option while traveling. The vehicle also has several USB ports as well as a cigarette lighter port which can also be used as a charger. Although the trunk space is smaller, it is adequate for grocery shopping and or to store a bug out bag. On top of the vehicle are railings appropriate to mount a sports rack for small boats, skiis, a pop- up canopy, or bicycles. The rear trunk door opens like a regular door to the side so it is easy not to accidentally bump your chin while placing items after shopping. The seats do not easily adjust horizontally although it is easy to move seats backwards and forwards. The rear seat can easily be adjusted flat so as to create more cabin room, especially if driver needs to sleep inside the vehicle even with a pet kennel. The vehicle does ride kinda high up and the wheels are a little bit small for vehicle design yet overall this model is very easy to navigate and is surprisingly nimble and able to get out of bad driving situations easily. It handles almost exactly like a ford focus. I give it 4 stars overall.

This car has everything I need.

This car met my needs of having the ability to fit my seated walker in the cargo area without collapsing the walker. My old car wouldn't allow that.

Easy to handle

It is solidly built, quite and drives smooth. The seats are comfortable and easy for adjusting to your need. It almost drives like a Ford Focus. You can get into and out of it easy.

Tested And Buying

Yesterday we took one out for a test ride during the day and again at night. Today we are buying one. The seats are comfortable and smoothly goes over the speed bumps in the neighborhood. It is perfect for what I need driving in town to church and the grocery store. The blue is just too much blue (too bright) and we're getting a white car. Love the black accents.

Best Car!

This car was perfect for what I was looking for in a vehicle. It drove so smoothly and has great gas mileage! It does not have all the bells and whistles some vehicles do, but is exactly what I need.
