"All-new Ford EcoSport delivers a clever and connected small car for our European customers," commented Nick Fitzgerald, EcoSport chief programme engineer.

The exterior of 2014 EcoSport boasts a short bonnet, raked front pillars, and a distinctive five-piece chrome front grille with angular headlamps and signature LED light strips.
The engine range includes a 1.0 liter EcoBoost engine (three times winner of International Engine of the Year) – 125HP (92 kW) and 200Nm (148 lb-ft) capable of returning 53.3 mpg UK (5.3 liters / 100 km) with 125 g/km CO2. There is also a 1.5 liter petrol engine with 112HP (82 kW) and a 1.5 liter diesel – 90HP (66 kW) returning up to 61.4 mpg UK (4.6 liters / 100 km) with CO2 of 120 g/km on combined cycle.
