Today, the tech features of the vehicle you drive impact your ability to stay connected and keep passengers entertained when you’re behind the wheel. Technology has come a long way, especially in the automotive industry. Delve into four of the most appealing standard and optional tech-focused features in the 2020 Ford EcoSport.
1. FordPass Connect
Every 2020 Ford EcoSport comes equipped with FordPass Connect, a powerful way to remain connected to the vehicle remotely. FordPass Connect also features functionality that can create a Wi-Fi hotspot in the cabin, a benefit which is always appealing to those who want to remain connected while on the road. Stream your favorite playlists or provide internet access to your passengers so that they can browse the web all from the comfort of the vehicle.
FordPass Connect also allows you to lock and unlock the doors from anywhere, remotely start the engine and engage the climate control system, and receive vehicle health alerts on your mobile device. If a light illuminates on the dashboard, simply open the app to find out what the indicator light means and what steps to take to resolve the issue. Other tools include vehicle location services; vehicle status updates such as fuel level, approximate mileage, and when your next vehicle servicing is due; and access to online appointment scheduling and roadside assistance.
2. Impressive Infotainment System
Ford’s SYNC infotainment system comes standard on the 2020 Ford EcoSport. This user-friendly system is accessible via the standard 4.2-inch central display screen. The upper three trim levels upgrade to the more advanced SYNC 3 version of the system, along with an 8-inch touch screen display. The standard audio system is a six-speaker unit, while an optional Bang & Olufsen Play premium audio system is available as an upgrade and takes your in-vehicle audio experience to the next level.
3. Smartphone Integration
With the Ford SYNC 3 infotainment system, you’ll have access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. When you plug in your compatible smartphone, you can enable the infotainment system in the vehicle to become a display and controller for the device. Smartphone integration is a safer and smarter way to use a cellphone in the vehicle, which takes your focus away from a tiny screen and allows you to use in-vehicle controls, such as voice controls or shift knobs. You can also listen to your text messages and respond to them, all without taking your eyes off the road.
4. High-End Safety Equipment
Across the board, all trim levels of the 2020 Ford EcoSport include high-end safety features designed to protect you and your passengers. These elements are bundled into a package that Ford refers to as its Co-Pilot360 technology. They include a rearview camera, an emergency brake assist system, an SOS post-crash alert system, and Ford’s MyKey teen driver settings. Additional options include rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and navigation.
