Is the 2021 Ford Ecosport Trend Still The Best Value Budget Crossover? Drive and Full Review!

  • The 2021 Ford Ecosport has long been a popular choice for those looking for a budget crossover. It used to be the only available option in the small crossover segment, and it successfully took market share away from the Toyota Vios and the Mitsubishi Mirage. Other Japanese carmakers came out with small MPVs to combat the Ford Ecosport, like the Honda BRV, the Suzuki Ertiga, and the Toyota Rush. However, the 2021 Ford Ecosport Trend still proved to be classier in looks and style. Nowadays, there are a lot of new contenders in the budget crossover segment, spearheaded by the Geely Coolray, the Chery Tiggo 5x and the Tiggo 2, and the GAC GS3, to name a few. Even Korean giants like Kia and Hyundai took notice, since they now have the Hyundai Venue and the Kia Stonic. In this Filipino car review, we take an in depth look at the base model Ford Ecosport Trend, and see if it can still bring the fight to the competition.

    Side Mirrors: Close to the edge of the side mirrors is a light visible line. This marks where the wide angle mirror starts. That’s why there’s no need for you to add those circular wide angle mirrors.

    Good video Rey.... you almost said more bad things than good about this ar which is refreshing because you need to aspire to be objective when reviewing the cars. Since you mention discounted Trend manual transmission you could've instead reviewed that Manual Model. It would be nice to see you doing few reviews of manual models. I suggest you start with Suzuki Ciaz GL m/t..... you would be pleasently surprised as you were with VW Lavida some time ago!

There something strange also I had Crozes control in my trend which strange why they don't had it in Philippine.

    Have a feeling Ford doesn’t want to call it “Eco “ sport because the doesn’t want people think it’s great on gas as I myself owns one and it isn’t the best but it’s ok on gas. So hence that why in my option they want it to be called “Echo” sport
