The Ford EcoSport May Be Coming to the U.S

The Ford EcoSport is a small crossover in the style of an SUV or hatchback, based off the popular subcompact Ford Fiesta. Produced as part of the ‘One Ford’ strategy of creating vehicles with global appeal, the economical and hardy EcoSport is currently sold in multiple markets worldwide, including India, Brazil, Asia, and Europe. It not available in the U.S. right now, but that may be changing.

The popularity of small crossover vehicles has exploded recently, both in the Kansas City area and in the broader United States. This may have convinced executives at Ford that the time is right to introduce the EcoSport to North America. Numerous EcoSport models have been spotted taking test drives near the Ford Motor Company headquarters. This may mean Ford fans could see an American-marketed EcoSport model as early as fall of 2017.

Engines currently offered in the Ford EcoSport include:

• 5L I4 gasoline
• 5L I4 diesel
• 0L EcoBoost I3

The Ford EcoSport will likely compete in the same segment as models like the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V, and Jeep Renegade.
