Here are five features that make the 2020 Ford EcoSport a great SUV for teen drivers.
1. Advanced Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The 2020 Ford EcoSport has an array of options available to help keep your teen driver safe while on the road. You’ll find an SOS Post-Crash alert system, head restraints, a rearview camera, and an emergency brake assist system. Also included is a Safety Canopy System with side-curtain air bags, three-point safety belts, and front and second-row side air bags. Front seat passengers will be protected by additional knee air bags. Available features include the blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert. Rest easy knowing that your teen is being protected.
2. Fuel-Efficient Engine Options
There are two available engine options on the 2020 EcoSport. Standard is a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that gets up to 123 horsepower and 29 mpg highway. There’s also the 2.0-liter Ti-VCT engine and delivers up to 166 horsepower and the same fuel economy rating. Both are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission for a smooth, comfortable ride and automatic start-stop technology.
3. Stay Connected With Advanced Technology
The EcoSport SES offers advanced technology options your teen driver is sure to love. It comes with the SYNC 3 system with a large 8-inch touch-screen display and a voice-activated navigation system.
