Sadly this was the best sub compact SUV sold in the Indian market, till Ford India decided to wrap up operations completely 😭😭

I still enjoy mine after nearly 2 yrs, bit pricey and the fuel economy isn't great but its very snappy compared to other 1.0 turbos, very safe and excellent resale value.

I own this machine for 6 years, a Diesel 1.5 Liter in India. Still runs like new and I even did a Stage 1 remap and the engine is now a beast! Sad Ford left India.

brilliant diesel. go forever.

that seaside view is gorgeous, i would suggest featuring it in all your vids.

Grear review ! THIS design WILL NEVER get old ! Like you explain so well .. It is and looks brilliant - every day any day 👍👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Built in Craiova, Romania! I have a ST-Line myself! Great for around town

Such a great little car with all the features you need and best of all, it’e not CVT…

In the US, you can get 4WD and a 2.0 engine. It is a great car for a snowy winter. Mine is an 18 with the winter package and paddle shifters. Love it.

I spoke to local Ford dealer here because I had heard about the discontinuance of the EcoSport, and it is only those that are built in India. The Titanium and the rest that are built in Europe will still be produced.

Please review the Haval H6 GT for us... would love to know what you think of this car... and it's fuel consumption.

im looking at these now and cant decide as i had a cx3 and it was fantastic just silent but had a dpf fault so it went back, not sure if i should get ecosport, Captur or a focus. I would get a cx3 2.0L but i assume being a 2.0L it will drink petrol and cost more to insure ?? too much choice on the market,

I generally enjoy mine after 4 years and 95,000km. My only gripe is that ALL 4 door panels creak now and it's annoying as hell.

Trully i love this car & your British accent too! Mam... & i like your Presentation loud and Clear... i love you just the way you Are become better & better... Wish you luck tc!pls.

I dont understand why South Africa never brought the 2.0 liter petrol engine to South Africa that was made available in Russia! I have driven every one of the Ecosport models and i found them all to be lacking in power although i found the car itself to be one of the best on the market!.

The average type of person who chooses to buy an EcoSport is not usually the type of person trying to race on the freeway. Those who want powerful cars are all in Ford rangers or BMWs. Crossover owners are usually more sensible and family orientated people who's only concern for performance is that their car should be able to do 140kph on the freeway and be light on fuel.

Looks like New Zealand.

Ford has discontinued the Figo, Fiesta and the diesel ecosport. And apparently the other ecosport models are going to be discontinued next year.

Fuel economy is absolutely trash and not dependable car so went back to a old ford explorer love it never gonna trade it for anything.

The 2000s called and asked for their compact SUV back. I find it insulting that Ford keep dumping this EcoSport on our market, when other countries get the much nicer Ford Puma. It just feels to me like Ford are strangling the design as much as possible as their options in SA dwindle to basically just the Ranger. I'll stick with my Peugeot 2008 anyday thank you very much.

Ford sa needs a change in strategy. Translated they need their heads checked.

Outclassed and outdated sadly. Was good 6 years ago.

I will never buy a outdated design which has been on the road for many years. OK they have replaced the horrible, typical Ford, cheap 'spaceship design' dashboard and they have changed the front but the rest is the same.There are plenty of newer small SUV's on the market.

Not so great anymore. Does Ford even have any newer models rather than rehashed, updated 10 year olds? They've canned all their newer/newish cars. Figo, Fiesta, Focus, Kuga, ... 🤷‍♂️

This model has remained largely unchanged for nearly 10 years. The EcoSport is becoming increasingly outdated and outsmarted by other manufacturers in the segment. It was an amazing car when it first launched, but Ford has not kept up with the times on this model and it's seriously starting to show. There are simply too many other better options, as Juliet mentions in this video. It's a no from me on the EcoSport Active, I'm afraid.

Why Ford left India

It's so good there going to stop making it.

Colourful review😅

Quality low. Fuel economy not great. Not very reliable. Expensive. Honestly don't know how Ford still sell them in the numbers they do 🤔 Can only think its because many people don't do proper research or shop around and compare enough.

Not very reliable??? VERY RELIABLE… Built like a tank… very precise steering, compared to sonet or venue… drinks a lot of fuel but maintenance cost is low… Also, built like a tank, have witnessed 3 ecosport accidents in India, the passengers and drivers have always been safe… Lastly, feels like a big car but is actual very small- so great at turning radius and easy to park…

Eish... but the cruiser/Brezza have no turbo, and they are prone to that fuel injector issue. Then magnite has that thing with the locks 🔒, I was so annoyed test driving it. Couldn't imagine living with it. But I'd say the premium 3 is T-Cross, CX-3 and Creta, then the sub compacts is Venue, Ecosport, Brezza/Cruiser. Some of these have been discontinued so maybe we all just wait for the replacements. 😅

Then factor in the excellent dci engine and the fact that the Duster 4x4 can actually do some decent off-road work makes it a bargain.
