There are so many adventures to be had throughout Cincinnati, Newport, and Covington, which is why you and your family need a fuel-efficient SUV. You may already know that the Ford EcoSport has what it takes to make your next drive exciting, but can it keep the fun going?
To help you answer that question, our team here at Fuller Ford Cincinnati has created this guide to the Ford EcoSport MPG. We'll also look at how it manages to get such great fuel economy and what you can do with it!
| 27 MPG City | 29 MPG Highway |
The standard 1.0L EcoBoost® engine of the EcoSport can crank out up to 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. It's coupled with the 6-Speed SelectShift® Automatic transmission. The S, SE, and Titanium trim levels are outfitted with this configuration. Therefore, they get an EPA-estimated 27 MPG city and 29 MPG highway.
| 23 MPG City | 29 MPG Highway |
The SES trim, however, gets an EPA-estimated 23 MPG city and 29 MPG highway. It's equipped with the available 2.0L Ti-VCT I-4 engine, which cranks out up to 166 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque.
Auto Start-Stop Technology is featured with both engine options. It can shut down the engine automatically when it's not needed. This feature helps reduce the time you spend idling, lowers fuel consumption, and reduces emissions.
Now you know the Ford EcoSport gas mileage, the next step is packing it up for your next journey. For that, you'll need to know how much you can bring along.
There's seating for up to five passengers, and they'll be able to sit back and relax in the available leather-trimmed seats. Plus, you'll be able to combat the cold with the available heated front seats and steering wheel. Best of all, with the SYNC® 3 technology, you'll be able to stay connected while you travel.
When it comes to packing in all of your gear, once you fold down the standard 60/40 split rear seatbacks, you'll open up 50 cubic feet of storage space. Adding to that, the available Cargo Management Package will add a number of unique storage solutions, such as a rear load floor and a shelf.

Seeing as fuel economy can vary based on your driving habits, there are a few simple things you can do that will help you maximize your Ford EcoSport MPG. For starters, you'll want to go easy on the pedal. While getting up to speed quickly may be a lot of fun, it causes your engine to fight more drag, which will burn fuel at a faster rate.
You should also check to make sure your gas cap creates an airtight seal. Its rubber seal can degrade over time, allowing more oxygen into your gas tank and cause your Ford EcoSport to burn more fuel.
One of the easiest ways to improve your fuel economy is to keep your tires properly inflated. This will help maintain the low rolling resistance of your tires, ensuring you get the most out of your fuel-efficient SUV.
Now that you have a better idea of how far you can go with the gas mileage of the Ford EcoSport, it's time to take it to the streets of Cincinnati, Newport, and Covington. See how many gas stations you can pass by!
