Ford EcoSport
The American manufacturer is finally entering the subcompact SUV segment in Canada with the EcoSport, which is already sold elsewhere in the world. Four trim levels are offered, and under the hood, we find a turbocharged, 1.0-litre three cylinder that produces 123 horsepower or, along with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre, four cylinder with 167 horsepower. Among the available features are heated front seats, a HARMAN sound system and a SYNC 3 infotainment system.
