The�2019 Ford EcoSport SE�is a�subcompact SUV designed for urban driving, known for its small footprint and high seating position. While it offers a modern tech suite with Ford's�SYNC 3�system, it is frequently criticized for its underpowered base engine and a side-swinging rear gate that can be difficult to use in tight parking spaces.
?? Key Specifications
The SE trim typically comes with front-wheel drive (FWD) but offers an optional all-wheel drive (AWD) upgrade that also changes the engine.
Standard Engine (FWD):�1.0L 3-cylinder Turbocharged (EcoBoost) |�123 HP
Optional Engine (AWD):�2.0L 4-cylinder |�166 HP
Transmission:�6-speed automatic
Fuel Economy:
FWD:�27 City / 29 Hwy / 28 Combined MPG
AWD:�23 City / 29 Hwy / 25 Combined MPG
Towing Capacity:�1,400 lbs (FWD) or 2,000 lbs (AWD)
??? Interior & Technology
The SE trim is a significant step up from the base 'S' model, adding several creature comforts:
Infotainment:�6.5-inch or optional 8-inch touchscreen with�Apple CarPlay�and�Android Auto
Comfort:�Power moonroof, heated front seats, and automatic climate control
Convenience:�Proximity keyless entry with push-button start and rear parking sensors
Cargo:�20.9 cu. ft. behind the rear seats, expanding to 50 cu. ft. when folded
Note:�The rear hatch�swings open to the side�rather than lifting up.
?? Important Considerations
Reliability Recall:�There is a major recall (23S64) for the 1.0L EcoBoost engine regarding�oil pump drive belt failure, which can lead to sudden engine seizure.
Ride Quality:�Reviewers often describe the ride as 'choppy' or 'jittery' on rough pavement due to its short wheelbase.
Safety Tech:�While it has a rearview camera and rear sensors, it lacks modern driver assists like automatic emergency braking or lane-keep assist found in many rivals
