Ford EcoSport SUV coming

Ford has confirmed that its small EcoSport SUV will be launched in Europe within the next 18 months.

Developed in South America and based on Ford’s global B-segment platform, the chunky-looking EcoSport has been designed to combine practicality with fuel efficiency. The exact engine line-up is yet to be confirmed, though, but expect it to include the 1.0 litre, three-cylinder EcoBoost petrol motor.
