The 2022 Ford EcoSport does it all, delivering everything from a thrifty city commute to an off-road romp down your favorite trail. Ford’s extra-small crossover SUV is also known for its high-tech safety and spacious, comfortable cabin. And the EcoSport still has more to offer! Let’s take a closer look.
Why choose the 2022 Ford EcoSport?
This extra-small crossover gives you a sporty, stylish ride. And it performs double duty as a city-friendly commuter (thanks to its small dimensions) and adventure-friendly cruiser (with its trail-ready all-wheel drive). The EcoSport also comes at a great price, starting at $22,040, and offering a wide range of interior comfort features and options.
