New Test drive Ford EcoSport
Someone might say that this SUV phenomenon in our market was
a noticeable delay, they say, the efforts of a nosy newfangled segment
automakers already densely stocked. Yes, and the EcoSport - the freshness of
the product is not immediate: 700 000 copies of his current, II generation has
been like 2 years running on the roads of Brazil, India, China, Vietnam and
Thailand.
To challenge the obvious stupid. Much more reasonable to
look at the newcomer as a soldier who has something to counter machines such as
Opel Mokka, Peugeot 2008, Nissan Juke and Terrano, Renault Duster, Suzuki New
SX4 and others of that ilk.
In contrast, a good half of these competitors, EcoSport
acquired Russian production registration (FordSollers plant in Naberezhnye
Chelny), partially localized on the set (on average 40% across the model range
of the brand) and structurally adapted for use in a domestic environment, which
in test mode ran 460,000 km on our roads widely discussed.

Importer declares that the car consists of about 200
galvanized parts and elements of the body, including the roof. Because of this,
the sale of the product promised no problems with rust for 12 years. Consumer
information is certainly important, but the dealers with whom I spoke, starting
at 1 place of interest in the EcoSport not put it outside and dignity. In other
words, the crossover takes primarily for the interesting and colorful design.
There is pointless to argue. Especially elegant looks
EcoSport in orange suit. Catchy color is the best way emphasizes Athletic
natrennirovannost, short overhangs, giving advantages in the assault adequate
obstacles, and, of course, the front part, which is read cutesy desire to
"come to the court."
For these funds, as you know, count on all-wheel drive
modification is not necessary - only FWD, only "mechanics" and,
again, with less in terms of engine - 1.6 liter aspirated 122 hp
Motor of discharge is not the most advanced, but it is inexpensive, including in
terms of operating costs (works on "92 th" gasoline), and managed to
establish itself under the hood Focus. The main thing - to him crossover rides
a little more interesting than the 2-liter 140-horsepower Duratek.
Paired with the 1.6-liter engine mounted "robot» DPS6,
and so, to adequately pass a sharp and abrupt turn after another, had to switch
to a manual control, which is not always convenient, because 2-sectional side
view of the key levers to wield not with his hands. Daylight mode «S», like,
and revving increases, however, the special advantage to it.
