First appearing on sale back in 2003, the Ford EcoSport is a fun subcompact SUV that captured people’s hearts all over the world – which is why it is now Ford’s flagship small SUV. To keep things fresh, the company is always changing and improving certain aspects of this car, and now we have a brand new 2022 Ford EcoSport that brings a whole load of amazing modern features with it.

Ford CoPilot 360

If you ever dreamed of a car that drives itself, then your dream is now a reality with the new EcoSport’s Ford CoPilot 360 technology. Using cameras mounted all around the outside of your car, this system will alter the car’s speed as necessary to align it with the car in front of you, keeping your distance while maintaining the same speed to avoid a collision.

If a collision appears imminent, the car will activate emergency brakes to help you stop, and if your vehicle begins to wander out of its lane then sensors under the car will alert you to this, and even realign itself between the white lines.

Blind-Spot Information and Cross-Traffic Alert

Do you hate backing out of parking spaces? Fear no longer, as with the Cross-Traffic Alert system included as standard on all models of the Ford EcoSport, you will be alerted to any vehicles coming down the road as you are backing up. Not only that, but this system also keeps an eye on vehicles that are in your blind spot, alerting you to any potential dangers and informing you when it is not safe to change lanes.

Hill Start Assist

Hill starts are notoriously difficult, and even the most experienced drivers may find themselves rolling backward into the car behind them when starting the engine on a steep slope. This is why the new Ford EcoSport comes with hill start assist as standard, and this advanced system will allow you up to two seconds to get your foot firmly onto the accelerator after you have lifted off the brake, providing extra safety even in wet or slippery conditions.

Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive

Whether you’re cruising along a country road or taking your car into the wilderness, everyone can benefit from the Ford EcoSport’s standard intelligent AWD system. This smart technology sends power and torque to the wheels that need it most, meaning more control at high speeds on the road, and more traction when heading off-road.

Being on the market for nearly 20 years, Ford has had plenty of time to alter and improve the Ford EcoSport, which is why this new model is such an amazing car to own. The myriad of modern features that come as standard with this car is astounding, and the price is very reasonable, too.
