The Ford EcoSport may be one of Ford Philippines’ best-selling models. Yet this doesn’t mean the Blue Oval brand is resting on its laurels. On the contrary, it has just given the four-year old model a much-needed refresh.
The changes to the 2018 Ford EcoSport begin up front with bigger headlights and LED daytime running lights. These flank a larger grille and are complemented by a restyled bumper with new foglight housings. Out back, the spare tire carrier also gets some tweaks as does the rear bumper. Things are finished off by a new set of alloy rims.
As with the exterior, the cabin likewise receives a few updates. These come in the form of a new center console and center stack with revised HVAC controls and a tablet-style infotainment system sitting atop the dash. This houses the new SYNC3 infotainment system that now features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and more connectivity options for mobile devices.
Apart from these upgrades, the EcoSport also gets new seats and available leather upholstery. Higher-spec variants come with goodies like power sunroof, automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights and auto-dimming rearview mirror, just to name a few.
