Ford introduced the 2012 EcoSport as a B-segment crossover for global markets, starting with Brazil and ending with the North American continent in 2018.
While EcoSport's first-generation competed in the South American market, its successor flexed its muscles globally. Ford built it on top of the 2011 Fiesta platform but adapted the rest of the vehicle to look like an SUV.
Its tall front area sported a wide, octagonal grille with chromed accents. Above it, on the sides, the designers placed the narrow headlights and lower, in the bumper, the fog lamps. An unpainted apron surrounded the bumper's base, creating the image of an SUV. On its sides, the door mirrors mounted on tall stalks and the tall greenhouse enhanced the car's look like a more capable off-road inspired vehicle, while in the back, the car featured a side-mounted tailgate with the spare wheel attached to it.
Inside, the carmaker installed cheap materials and a bland-looking interior with various shades of gray and black. The dashboard looked better than the rest of the vehicle since it was inspired by the Fiesta, although with lower-quality materials. Thanks to the high-mounted seats, the EcoSport provided adequate room for four passengers, but it wasn't easy to put three adults in the back due to the car's narrow bodywork. Its trunk was smaller than on the Renault Captur or Nissan Juke, but the rear seat's seatback expanded it up to
Under the hood, the carmaker bragged about its inline-three engine, named EcoBoost. It was a turbocharged 1.0-liter powerplant that won the "Engine of the Year" award. A 1.5-liter turbo-diesel completed the range.
