It was about time that Ford slipped itself in the subcompact SUV segment in North America, where its rivals are currently having a ball with hefty sales numbers. As standard, the 2018 EcoSport will get a front-wheel drivetrain and a turbocharged, 1.0-litre three cylinder engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. On the options list will be AWD and a naturally aspirated, 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine.
