The 2020 Ford EcoSport Compact SUV is an exciting model for drivers who want the style and performance of an SUV but the fuel efficiency of a car. It’s an affordable option available in a variety of trim levels. Here are some things to know about the 2020 Ford EcoSport Compact SUV.
Intelligent 4WD 
Intelligent 4WD is a great way to improve traction control. It comes standard with any EcoSport equipped with the 2.0L Ti-VCT engine. Intelligent 4WD monitors each wheel separately, looking for signs that it’s losing traction. If it senses a drop in traction, it will deliver more torque when it’s needed. This helps keep the tire firmly planted and with plenty of traction to keep your EcoSport driving smoothly.
FordPass Connect
FordPass Connect is another feature that makes the EcoSport Compact a great choice. This system connects the EcoSport to the FordPass app. That way, you can control specific features in the vehicle from your smartphone. This is particularly helpful when you need to start your car or check on it while you’re at work. FordPass makes it possible to stay connected to your EcoSport from anywhere.
Driver-Assist Systems
The 2020 EcoSport comes equipped with a range of driver-assist systems to help drivers stay safe on the road. The BLIS (Blindspot Information System) monitors blind spots for traffic and other obstacles so that it can warn you and help you avoid an accident. The Cross-Traffic Alert System looks behind your car at a wide-angle to warn you if cars are crossing behind the vehicle. Since backing out of parking spaces is a common risk for car accidents, this system makes driving much safer.
Alexa
If you use Alexa often at home, then you will enjoy having Alexa in your car as well. The Ford EcoSport can connect with Amazon Alexa to give you access to most of Alexa’s voice-activated functions. You can share your account with other devices so that you can seamlessly integrate your EcoSport with these devices. Plus, the Alexa feature integrates with the touch-screen controls to give you an additional way to get access.
Waze
Waze is a navigation app that is supported by its users. It also makes a great driving app since it collects traffic data in real-time, making it possible to avoid heavy traffic and other road problems. The EcoSport integrates seamlessly with the app via the available SYNC 3 AppLink. You can get a full-screen Waze interface on the vehicle’s touch screen as if it was a built-in navigation system. Since it connects to your smartphone, you’ll be able to seamlessly transition between the two as much as you need to for travel.
The 2020 Ford EcoSport Compact SUV is a highly desirable model with a variety of popular features available. In fact, many of the most in-demand safety technology features come as standard or optional features for the Ford EcoSport.
