Ford EcoSport Active

The new Ford EcoSport Active is a compact SUV that’s designed to take both the urban jungle and the great outdoors in its stride. With a rugged yet sporty aesthetic, it lends the model series a fresh look that appeals to those who want an extra helping of style with their crossover.

Exterior

The Active iteration of the EcoSport is recognisable as part of the model series thanks to its hexagonal grille and slanted headlights, which present an aggressive, no-nonsense look. Like its sister models, it sports an elevated ride height and sweeping roofline, but with a contrasting roof colour and plastic cladding around the wheel arches. New additions include faux skid plates at the front and rear for a more rugged appearance, alongside tinted windows and new alloy wheels, which lend an element of class.

Interior

Sleek utility is the theme for the EcoSport Active’s cabin, with a clean, uncluttered dash design and central console keeping the operation of controls simple. An 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system takes pride of place, and steering wheel mounted buttons mean you can select the next track or make a phone call without taking your hands off the wheel. As a family car, the EcoSport Active has plenty of space for five, with supportive seats ensuring all occupants stay comfy and relaxed no matter how long the journey. With a generous boot too, there’s room for sports bags, a buggy, suitcases – or whatever else you need for your trip.
