2017 Ford Ecosport Trend Diesel ownership review

Pros

1. Looks- The Ecosport looks great and the front fascia gives it a sophisticated and an elegant look. The sleek headlamps further enhance the looks.

2. Ground Clearance- The high ground clearance makes it a highly practical and useful product. The owner also reports that he used the vehicle on bad roads and there have been no issues so far in terms of ground clearance.

3. 1.5-L TDCi Engine- The diesel engine powering the Ecosport is not just powerful and reliable but in addition to this has a strong low-end which makes it a great vehicle for city driving.

4. AC Performance- Even when the Ecosport does not have a rear AC vent, the overall performance from the AC is great and the cabin gets cooled in no time.

5. Practical Cabin- The space inside the cabin is commendable and there have are a number of storage spaces inside the cabin.

Cons

1. Rear Seat Space: Space at the rear is at a premium. Rivals in the segment definitely offer better cabin.

2. Missing Essentials: A number of features and equipment is missing from the Ecosport. The Trend variant for instance misses out a lockable spare wheel nut.

3. Doors of the vehicle can be opened from inside despite locking the vehicle. This can be dangerous as small kids in the family often tend to pull the door handles.
