he 2019 Ford EcoSport 1.5Ti-VCT Ambiente is a budget-friendly compact SUV with a pliant ride and practical cabin, but its 1.5L engine is underpowered and can feel sluggish, especially with the automatic transmission. While the Ambiente trim is basic, featuring an older infotainment system and lacking features like cruise control found in higher trims, it offers standard safety equipment and a usable boot space. Buyers should be aware of the potentially high fuel consumption and consider competitors that are more generously equipped and modern.
Pros:
Practicality: The EcoSport offers a spacious cabin and a larger-than-average boot for its class.
Ride Quality: It provides a reasonably comfortable and pliant ride, aided by high-profile tires and a crossover-inspired elevated ride height.
Crossover Styling: Its chunky, SUV-like styling and higher ride height appeal to those seeking an off-road aesthetic.
Safety: Standard safety equipment is a strong point for this model, even for its age.
Cons:
Underpowered Engine: The 1.5L naturally-aspirated engine feels underpowered and can strain under hard acceleration, making it less responsive than the 1.0L turbo versions.
Basic Interior & Tech: The Ambiente trim has a basic infotainment system and lacks features like a leather-wrapped steering wheel found in more expensive trims.
Aging Design: Some interior aspects and overall design elements show their age, with newer rivals offering more modern features and a more luxurious feel.
Fuel Consumption: While fuel economy can be a strong point on paper, real-world testing suggests it can be relatively high, especially for the automatic version.
