Ford EcoSport review (12/07/2014)

Ford — like many of its opponents — has, because of its global reach, the resources to react to swiftly changing consumer demands and that is how it has been able to come up with something like a mini-SUV in fairly short order.

Thus, the company came up with a mini-SUV it was already building and selling in Brazil and, having done a quick exercise !it came up with the all new Ford EcoSport for Europe.

The EcoSport was originally designed by Ford’s American Truck Vehicle Centre in 2003, but based on the Fiesta platform built in Cologne. It was targeted South and Central American markets. And remarkably successful it was too, selling as many as 700,000 units across Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico, among other markets.
