2018 Ford EcoSport S

The EcoSport is Ford's smallest SUV, a subcompact that competes with the Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR. It's nimble in the city, with a tight turning radius that makes parking and squeezing through traffic easy. The cabin is straightforward and functional, with a tall seating position that gives you a good view of the road. Cargo space is modest, but the rear seats fold flat to open up room for larger items when you need it. Its 1.0L I3 makes 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic that shifts smoothly around town; expect 28 mpg combined from this drivetrain.
