Nominally, the Ford EcoSport is just a compact crossover in the B-SUV segment, of which there are a lot on the market. However, the history of the current Ford EcoSport model is so confusing that it's time to shoot a detective movie. In the 2007 ford sport early 2000s, the Ford Fusion emerged: a small crossover SUV based on the Ford Fiesta, compact, inexpensive, ideal for Europe. Such a car was wanted not only in Europe, but also in other regions - for example, in Latin America. On the basis of the Ford Fusion, Brazil developed its own crossover, which was called the Ford EcoSport: this is how the first generation of the model was born in 2003. Moreover, the car was noticeably different from its progenitor: it was a little larger, received all-wheel drive, and a spare wheel on the rear door became a distinguishing feature. But we never really knew this Ford EcoSport model, since the usual European compact Ford Fusion crossover was actively sold in Ukraine at that time.
The next major moment in history came in 2012 with the introduction of the second-generation Ford EcoSport. Initially aimed at the so-called. "emerging markets", this car was designed in Brazil and debuted in India. By that time, the aging Ford Fusion crossover was already leaving the European range, the company needed a new car in the B-SUV segment. They tried to hastily adapt the Ford EcoSport crossover to Europe, but everything turned out strange: he didn’t drive well, the interior was assembled from hard plastic, the tailgate was still “decorated” with a spare wheel, and even assembly in India - in a word, an obvious “inconsistency” with the well-trained breed of European Ford cars. The company soon tried to equalize the situation: for example, the Ford EcoSport S debuted without a rear wheel, but with a retuned suspension and improved soundproofing. But this had little effect on the perception of the car as a whole. However, then (by the 2017 model year) another update happened - and this time, a larger one: new headlights and a bumper, a new interior, a traditional “automatic” instead of a PowerShift preselective, the transfer of production of European versions to Romania, an expanded range of options for a liter turbo motor. Although, by the way, outside the European market there are even 2-liter "aspirated" and four-wheel drive. Finally, in the fall of 2020, the release of the Ford EcoSport Active, a crossover version of the B-SUV crossover, was announced. It looks like the Ford EcoSport has already become synonymous with the word "upgrade" for Ford...
Such a long digression into history is necessary in order to understand what we are dealing with: the first generation Ford EcoSport appeared in 2003, the second debuted in 2012, followed by a global restyling that significantly changed and improved the car. However, a long series of updates has led to the fact that today in the Ford range there are two models of the B-SUV segment at once - the elderly Ford EcoSport crossover, as well as the more recent Ford Puma, which is positioned as more sporty and youthful. Although the test Ford EcoSport is also not simple: it is presented in the ST-Line version, which is distinguished by various “sport” accents. In addition, the Titanium version will be briefly reviewed.
Here you can not do without the background that was described in the section above. Because in general the Ford EcoSport "just rides". But in relation to himself of the past 5-7 years ago, he took a huge step forward. If in the past there was a roll and nothing else in driving performance, now there is a hint of comfort: the suspension has a good energy intensity, the springs and shock absorbers quietly deal with fairly large irregularities. Plus, a light steering wheel and a fairly clear execution of com
