Sales of the EcoSport have risen by 56 per cent so far this year, with the sporty Ford Performance-inspired ST-Line model the most popular. The EcoSport ST-Line is equipped with body-styling kit and 17-inch alloy wheels. More than a quarter of all Ford EcoSports sold are chosen in Blue Lightning paint finish.

Technology features available on the EcoSport include all-wheel drive, SYNC 3 connectivity, cruise control with adjustable speed limiter, and rear view camera.
