2019 Ford EcoSport Titanium

The EcoSport is Ford's smallest SUV, a subcompact that slots below the Escape and competes with the Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR. It's nimble around town with a tight turning radius, making parking and city driving effortless. The ride is on the firm side, which helps handling but means you'll feel bumps on rough pavement. Inside, the cabin is functional but uses hard plastics, and the rear seat is snug for adults on longer trips. The Titanium adds leather seats, a sunroof, and keyless entry over the SE, but you give up the SES's sportier look and available AWD. Its 1.0L I3 makes 123 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, which feels adequate for city errands but struggles on the highway. The Titanium's standard Sync 3 infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a step up from the base system in lower trims.
