As tidus observed, it is underpowered. Dont expect underpowered vehicles to be fuel efficient in city driving. Long drives can be ok though. Tipid na sa rekta yan.

The "underpowered" 1.5 is doing 8-9 km/L in the city from feedback I've read here and in FCP.

I doubt that putting a 1.6 or 1.8 will be more efficient than that.

So hard to please everyone - yung iba magcocomplain ang laki ng displacement kaya lakas sa gas, yung iba magcocomplain ang liit ng makina kaya ang lakas sa gas. Ano ba talaga?

Underpowered vehicles are efficient for city driving, highway driving they tend to consume more or the same with higher displacement engines.

Yeah, hard to please consumers, they want powerful engines that consume less fuel.

Still waiting for the diesel variant if ever they decide to bring it here. Its such a good b-segment crossover.

City driving ranges from 10-12km/L
Highway 12-14 km/L

Lahat naman nang sasakyan lagi sinasabi underpower.. if you want power go for a nissan gtr. Kaya nga the urban crossever dba dun palang alam mona pang city sya talaga..

[tidus1203]

I think when we comment its underpowered it is relative.

Its certainly uneerpowered compared to say a Fiesta or a Jazz... Sana man lang the old 1.6 sa Fiesta would do...

I agree. Di naman sya underpowered kasi magaan naman body nya. But compared to fiesta syempre mas mabigat ang ecosport. So mas matipid sa fuel ang fiesta kesa sa ecosport. Pero mas matipid naman sa fuel ang ecosport compared to ford escape, mitsubishi asx and subaru xv. Nasa 2.0L engines or more na kasi sila eh.

Baguio or Timberland sa Montalban magandang test if the power is sufficient for its body weight.

Share ko lang ung previous post ko about the curb weight of ecosport.

Wow... I'm really glad I came here. Long-time member of Tsikot but inactive.

We bought an Ecosport 2 months ago and we were really happy with it. But then we started having difficulty in stop and go traffic. One time I even nearly threw up because the drive was so uneven. During gitgitan we would either accelerate very fast or really be thrown forward when braking because the transmission would suddenly downshift. I even brought it to Ford last week so they can tell me if there is something wrong with the car.

They were puzzled by it too. They said that the car should have adjusted to our driving styles by now. They also offered to recalibrate the software. Marami raw silang similar problem sa Fiesta dati and they solved it by upgrading the software.

After reading Ford's letter, I realize what's happening now. Frst, we did a lot of highway driving initially. So the car must have thought we did that a lot. Then, there are four of us driving the car. So, I think it keeps trying to adjust.

The good news is, in the past two days, we noticed that we have been having smoother drives. Maybe we're either learning to drive it better or it is adjusting to us.

No one told us there is a break-in period. I thought that concept had long gone with new cars. This whole "car adjusting to the driver" concept is crazy. It becomes a moving target. Car adjusts, you try to adjust, then someone else tries to drive the car, car adjusts again and so on... Patay.

Now, I'm wondering if I should have the software reset. Bale, back to zero.

What do you guys think?

medyo nakakatakot naman ito. why do we have to adjust to the car so often and the like. dapat pagsakay palang.. swabe na usually, lalo na if matic.

Yeah i think it should be the driver adjusting with the car, since the car is always constant the drivers are not.

Off topic.....If our country can sell Ecosport with 2.0L engine, would you buy it fo 1.2M or up? Cause for me I won't and would rather buy a full sized SUV. My point is, this car is built with great looks and features with an average size engine to meet the price that average people can afford in counties like PH (our country). And I dont think this car is under powered to haul with passengers UNLESS you're driving it to race! I read someone here said, if you're racing then go for the nissan gtr!

I was one of the first who booked the ecosport... If only the Titanium variant was available when they said it would arrive by end of March, I would be driving one of these. But was too excited for our first brand new car, so I bought the focus mk3 instead.

Goodluck!

Apparently people are looking for a sub-1M, spacious, fast, economical, cheap-to-run, flood-fording SUV.

I think most cars can meet up to 4 of those criteria, but anyone looking for something that satisfies all 6 is delusional.

^^^ Toyota Innova fits 5 of those criteria except for fast but you can always chip it.

[jirehroimendoza]

^^ Can the Innova ford 500mm or more deep water? 😱

Fast na rin kahit yung D4D. Kayang kaya naman 160kph, mabilis na yun. hehe. Delikado na kaya above 100kph.

IIRC yes kaya niya.

[dandang]

I do believe that ecosport has more than enough satisfied the basic criteria for a sub 1M vehicle (beauty, practical, power????) The only thing annoying as what fiber optic posted article said is the annoying transmission. Which i hope is just annoying and not a defect.
