We at Fred Beans Ford of West Chester have put together this detailed review to give you a taste of what this vehicle has in store for you. Let's get started by taking a peek under the hood!

2020 Ford EcoSport: Performance Specifications

The 2020 Ford EcoSport is powered by a standard 1.0L EcoBoost® engine, front-wheel drive (FWD), and 6-Speed SelectShift® Automatic Transmission. This impressive trio delivers a respectable 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque.

This standard engine also comes equipped with Auto Start-Stop Technology, which turns the engine off when you're stopped to conserve fuel. Thanks to this feature, the EcoSport has an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency rating of 27 city/29 highway MPG.

You also have the available 2.0L Ti-VCT 4-cylinder engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology to choose. This engine is available in all four trim levels and reaches an impressive 166 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque.

If FWD isn't enough strength and control for you, you'll also have the choice of the available Intelligent 4WD System. This intelligent system is designed to give you a boost of extra traction in situations where you need it.

Additionally, the standard Trailer Tow Prep Wiring Package, contributes to the impressive towing capacity of this compact SUV. It has a maximum towing capacity of 1,400 pounds with the 1.0L EcoBoost® engine and 2,000 pounds available with the 2.0L Ti-VCT engine.

Ford EcoSport: Expansive Passenger & Cargo Space

As a crossover, the 2020 Ford EcoSport offers plenty of wiggle room for all five passengers in addition to more than enough room for all your cargo. You'll have these interior dimensions to stretch out in:                                                                                    

Even if you have all five seats in use, you'll have a remarkable 20.9 cubic feet of cargo space to take advantage of behind the rear seat. However, if you need more space, the 60/40 fold-flat rear seatbacks will make this easy. Fold one, two, or three of the rear seats down to utilize every inch of the EcoSport model's total cargo capacity of 50 cubic feet.

Whether you're loading up the vehicle with groceries or luggage, the available Cargo Management System package is sure to make it a breeze.

2020 EcoSport: Impressive Safety Features

The Ford EcoSport has a lot by way of safety. With standard Ford Co-Pilot360™, you'll get access to things like Hill Start Assist and a Rear View Camera on all trim levels. High level trims will also have available features like:

• Reverse Sensing System
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Rain-Sensing Wipers

These systems are designed to make every drive easier and safer. And with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether Anchors for CHildren) System, you'll also be able to help keep the little ones safe with ease.

The standard Emergency Brake Assist System can give you a little extra bit of confidence every time you hit the road. And in the event you should get into a spot of trouble, the SOS Post-Crash Alert System™ will help take care of you.

The convenience of the standard Remote Keyless Entry system and available Remote Start System will be your favorite features when your hands are full, and you can still get into your car with ease.

Ford EcoSport: Infotainment

The 2020 Ford EcoSport isn't just efficient and spacious. This crossover is smart, too, with a variety of advanced technology features to offer. Check out the available SYNC® 3 infotainment system to access an 8-inch touchscreen, voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.

You'll also have the impressive standard FordPass Connect™ with Wi-Fi Hotspot, so you can stay connected no matter where you go.

To give everyone something to enjoy, the 2020 EcoSport comes available with several audio systems, so you can find the best sound for you. The standard 6-speaker audio system will give you solid audio quality on the base level trim.

If you want a little more, you might be interested in the available 7-speaker system. But if that still isn't enough, you're sure to really love the available B&O™ Sound System by Bang & Olufsen with 10 speakers. With crystal clear quality and enough speakers so that everyone can feel like they have a front row seat, this sound system will give you a whole new audio experience.

EcoSport: Interior Comfort

While enjoying the incredible sound quality from any of the Ford audio systems, it's nice to know that you can stretch out and relax with this comfortable interior.

For the driver, check out the available Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel with Cruise and Audio Controls and Leather-Wrapped Shift Knob. If that isn't enough luxury for you, you might also want to get the available Heated Steering Wheel, so you can say goodbye to all those chilly-hand mornings.

In fact, the available Electronic Automatic Temperature Control system will keep everyone in your SUV at a comfortable temperature, so you can take full advantage of the other available amenities in the Ford EcoSport.

The driver and front passenger can appreciate the standard Cloth-Trimmed Front Bucket Seats, but you might really be thankful for the available Leather-Trimmed with Perforation Heated Front Bucket Seats. This driver's seat, available on higher trim levels, will also be 6-way power adjustable, so you can get comfortable with minimal effort.
