Ecosport 1.0 Ecoboost vs Suzuki Vitara

[preno]

in terms of fuel efficiency, safety, and performance which is better?

I’m betting on the Ecosport ecoboost...

[Egan101]

Performance will favour the Ecosport as that 1.0L turbo engine is quite potent. Fuel efficiency may be more reliant on driving habits. The 1.0L turbo consumes gas like a normal 1.6L NA engine with my experience on the Fiesta.

fuel consumption is almost the same.

as per south african specs

6.2L/100 vs 6L/100 ...

eco is taller and has more ground clearance. you could load taller objects in the boot of the eco as this pic illustrates

quality probably goes to the vitara. the ford is infamous for the faulty DCT transmissions. as well as having very low quality rear door actuators (premature failure), and fan resistor coils which lead to overheated engines

btw the body sheet metal on the vitara seems thinner compared to eco

hindi na dct gamit sa new ecosport.. its a traditional torque converter

Anong engine ba ng Vitara nitutukoy u?

Under the skin, the Vitara gets a range of 1.0-liter and 1.4-liter turbocharged gas engines, which replace the existing 1.6-liter gas engine. In the United Kingdom, basic SZ4 and mid-range SZ-T variants will come as standard with the 1.0-liter engine, which produces 110 horsepower (82 kilowatts), while the top-spec SZ5 model will get the larger 1.4-liter unit with 140 hp (104 kW).

The new Ecosport comes with a traditional 6-speed AT tranny, unlike the previous gen which had a DCT. This is the same 6AT tranny on the current Focus Ecoboost.

In 4 years of ownership of my Fiesta Ecoboost, I have had no issues with its 1.0L turbo engine even with my spirited way of driving, no overheats or turbo failure. It requires though low viscosity fully synthetic oil (5w20 or 5w30) and fuel must be 95RON at the mininum.

In terms of performance, foreign sites say the new Ecosport Ecoboost is not that quick (10+ seconds from 0-100kmh) but they might say the same for most of our local vehicles here. Not as quick as the Fiesta Ecoboost but quicker than an Everest or as quick as other small crossovers with bigger engines.

I seriously doubt the Vitara can match that performance from its 1.6L NA engine unless it is much lighter than the Ecosport Ecoboost. Is there any indication of Suzuki bringing over their turbo engines to the local market? A Swift with a 1.6L turbo will be surely something fun to drive.

Asia models only get the 125hp/170Nm tune for the 1.0L turbo engine while Europe gets three tunes (100hp, 125hp, 140hp). A first stage remap kit can bring the figures up to 150hp/210Nm. I think the 6AT tranny is good up to 300Nm or even more if it is the same as the one used on the Escape 2.0L Ecoboost.

This thread is quite timely for me! I’m about to get the Vitara GL+ the papers are in the works and might get the unit by Oct. BUT as I read on the eco sports the higher ground clearance is a factor albeit by a few inches. the underwhelming interior of Vitara does not help. Interior of eco sports is classier. The 1.0 turbo also fits better in my budget.
I am not a technical guy but on that aspect Vitara seems a tad better.

Parts and service b ng ford ok ba?

Haha help me decide :-)

Well, it is something that needs improvement within our local scene. Hehehe

I own a titanium for a year now and have never encountered the dct problem. However, the bad reviews and scary stories are affecting me I may not buy another ford model again.

I own an Ecosport MT too, my advice is stay away from Ford due to horrible aftersales service and if maintenance in the long run is your priority specially if you're not residing in the NCR. Only Ford casa can fix your car which will cost you an arm and a leg.

Some dealers have horrible service, some are decent. Yung Toyota sa amin nalagyan ng mantsa yung leather seats ng Fortuner namin, di na matanggal. Wala man lang ginawa. Yung Honda, ayaw magpakita kung papano gawin yung PMS, duda ko di nila pinapalitan yung oil sa totoo... Yung mitsubishi, nabangga nila yung door ng lancer namin, yung empleyado nila ang nagmamaneho.

Anong napaayos mo sa ecosport mo?

PMS and warranty claim. Siguro dito lang sa area namin pangit ang service ng Ford. BTW, we also have Yota and Honda kaya nacompare ko lang ang experience namin at di lang ako ang nagsabi, halos lahat ng members sa Eco club dito samin yan ang reklamo.

Nag disclaimer na nga ako.

Never owned a Suzuki. (Interested in that new Jimny though)... Just heard from some people I know and what I read on the internet. I know, unreliable information.
