In this video, we take a look around the Ford EcoSport, which is a compact SUV that’s built on the popular Ford Fiesta platform. It offers more practicality than a Fiesta, and is well-suited to motorists living in the countryside thanks to its raised ride height. Yet, it retains a large portion of the fun driving characteristics associated with a Fiesta.
