Ford EcoSport 2018 not only has eye-catching design, spacious interior and impressive performance but also possesses many outstanding safety and convenience features. With Sync 3 infotainment system, 6 airbags and many other safety technologies,
Smart and convenient
A car with good hardware but not optimized software will hardly bring the best experience. Because of always facing a series of unpredictable situations when participating in traffic, the driver needs to interact with the car in a simple and minimally distracting way. However, not all car manufacturers provide a driver interaction interface that is streamlined and intuitive enough.
Understanding that, Ford has developed the Sync infotainment system to meet the real needs of customers. The first Sync system was rated by Popular Mechanics magazine as one of the 10 most useful car utilities in 2007. Not resting on its laurels, Ford listened to 22,000 customer opinions and continuously upgraded and improved to make Sync smarter and more useful.
The 2018 EcoSport is equipped with the latest Sync 3 infotainment system. This is considered the smartest and most modern interface on a popular SUV. Sync 3 makes the 2018 Ford EcoSport more friendly to passengers thanks to the ability to adjust by voice and a series of smart connections, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. When connecting your iPhone to the Ford EcoSport via Apple CarPlay, the driver can activate the Siri Eyes Free feature to send SMS messages, send emails or query useful information with just voice.
To communicate with the Ford EcoSport by voice, the driver simply presses the button on the steering wheel to activate this mode. Sync 3 can recognize over 10,000 voice commands, including changing FM frequencies, changing the current song, calling a number in the contact list, querying map locations and many more complex commands. With Sync 3, the driver does not need to take their eyes off the road ahead, or even take their hands off the steering wheel to perform the above operations.
The Sync 3 system comes with a new 8-inch touchscreen with higher resolution, displaying control features in a simpler and more familiar way for passengers in the car. This screen has a luxurious and sophisticated floating design on the dashboard. It uses capacitive touch technology instead of resistive touch as before, thanks to which the touchscreen has the same sensitivity as modern smartphones and tablets.
The screen on the Ford EcoSport 2018 also has a smoother zoom operation, making it more convenient to interact with the navigation map. In addition, the screen also has 2 separate day/night interfaces and is capable of automatically selecting high-contrast fonts when used during the day and reducing light intensity when driving at night.
Another smart technology is the Auto Start/Stop feature. This technology first appeared on the Ford EcoSport (high-end version). When the driver stops at a red light, the computer will temporarily stop the engine to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. The driver only needs to slightly press the accelerator pedal and the engine will restart immediately. This feature can help save fuel, reduce noise and reduce emissions to the environment when the car has to stop idling.
Superior safety
Ford EcoSport 2018 is not only smart but also possesses many superior safety features compared to competitors in the same segment. These include 6 SRS airbags, including curtain airbags for both rows of seats, side airbags for the driver and front passenger. When you need to slow down in an emergency, the ABS anti-lock braking system and the EBD electronic brake force distribution system will prevent wheel lock and skidding, helping the driver easily control unexpected situations on the road.
When cornering, the Traction Control System and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) also help maintain the EcoSport's balance and minimize oversteer/understeer. Another important safety feature is Advance Trac with Roll Stability Control. The system uses the ABS system's sensors to monitor the vehicle's stability 150 times per second. If it detects that the vehicle is losing balance, the system will apply the brakes to the necessary wheels to stabilize the vehicle and keep it on the desired trajectory. If Advance Trac senses that the rear wheels are at risk of slipping, the system will apply the brakes and adjust engine power to prevent wheel slippage.
In situations of parking or turning in narrow roads, the rear camera and rear sensors at the rear of the car will help the driver feel more confident. In addition, the Hill Start Assist (HLA) feature also makes stopping at red lights on steep roads much easier and safer.
Powerful, youthful, with many smart and safe features, the 2018 Ford EcoSport is the optimal choice in the urban SUV segment. The 2018 Ford EcoSport has 5 versions, 8 exterior paint colors and a suggested retail price from 545 million VND.
