The first-generation model was developed and built in Brazil by Ford Brazil since 2003, at the Camaçari plant. The second-generation model was launched in 2012, which was assembled in factories in India, Thailand, Russia and Romania.{{cite news|title=Ecosport: SUV Ford made in Romania|url=https://www.auto-bild.ro/teste/drive-test/ecosport-suv-ford-fabricat-romania-141054.html|access-date=27 August 2018|newspaper=Auto Bild|date=7 May 2018}} The vehicle entered the European market in 2014 and the North American market in 2018. It was sold in both until its discontinuation after the 2022 model year. Throughout its existence, the EcoSport shared its platform with the Fiesta.

The first generation EcoSport was designed by Ford Brazil Development Center under the program code BV226, and the codename "Amazon Project". It is based on the European Fiesta and Fusion MPV, sharing the same Ford B3 platform.

The EcoSport became one of Ford's best-seller models in Brazil, consistently appearing on the twenty best selling vehicles. It was also popular in Argentina, Venezuela, and Mexico. Its main competitors were the Fiat Palio Adventure and Volkswagen CrossFox. In 2011, cumulative sales reached 700,000.{{cite web|title=Ford Ecosport Reaches Production Milestone of 700,000 Units in Camaçari|url=http://corporate.ford.com/news-center/press-releases-detail/pr-700000-ecosports-produced-in-brazil-20111215|work=Ford press release|access-date=7 January 2012|archive-date=20 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120090844/http://corporate.ford.com/news-center/press-releases-detail/pr-700000-ecosports-produced-in-brazil-20111215|url-status=dead}}

=Versions and engines=

The EcoSport was available with five straight-four engines:

  • Zetec-Rocam 1.0 L gasoline 8v supercharged, {{cvt|95|PS|kW|order=flip}} (discontinued in 2006)
  • Zetec-Rocam 1.6 8v gasoline/ethanol, {{cvt|111|PS|kW|order=flip}}
  • Duratec 2.0 L gasoline 16v {{cvt|145|PS|kW|order=flip}}
  • Duratorq 1.4 L TDCi Diesel, {{cvt|68|PS|kW|order=flip}} (export only)

All models have front-wheel drive with manual transmission as standard. The 2.0 L model can also receive a four speed automatic transmission (FWD only) or four-wheel drive (manual six speed only). In the latter case, an electronically controlled system automatically engages the rear axle when front wheel spin is detected, and also lets the driver manually engage the rear axle from the dashboard.

=Restyling=

File:Ford EcoSport.jpg

At the end of 2007, a mid-cycle restyling was introduced, which renewed completely the front to bring it closer to then current Ford pickups, as well as the contemporary Brazilian restyling of the Ford Fiesta. Also updated were the rear lights, both bumpers, and the interior with a new dashboard using better quality materials.{{clear|left}}

=Mexico=

The Ford EcoSport arrived in Mexico in late 2003 as a 2004 model. The reception by the public was impressive and continued until 2006. For the model year of 2007, sales of the small SUV began slipping and it stopped being a hot seller. Compared to 15,000 units sold in 2004, only 10,000 units of the model year of 2007 were sold. This trend continued to worsen for the refreshed model year of 2008 due in part to a price increase.

Only 6,345 units of the model year 2008 were sold, and the model year 2009 sales through July 2009 were a mere 2,135 units. Due to decreasing sales, and heightened competition from the Ford Escape, Ford announced that a shortened 2010 model year would be the last sold in Mexico.

Ford showed the production variant of the Ford EcoSport in China, planning to begin sales in March 2013. In addition to China, the vehicle was also made at Ford India's Chennai plant, for domestic sale and export initially to the European, and by 2018, the North American, markets. Ford's Rayong plant in Thailand produced the EcoSport for Southeast Asian markets.{{cite web|title=Ford Ecosport|url=http://overdrive.in/car-variants/ford-ecosport-2013/|access-date=26 March 2014}}

As of August 2015, Ford's Indian plant had already sold 200,000 EcoSports; 112,000 of which were sold in India while the rest were exported to South Africa, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and Europe.{{cite web|url=http://www.motorscribes.com/Articles/200000-ford-ecosports-in-two-years-impressive-indeed|title=200,000 Ford EcoSports in two years – impressive indeed! |author=Muntaser Mirkar |date=5 August 2015 |work=Motorscribes}} In November 2016, Ford announced plans to supply the EcoSport from India to the United States.{{cite news |last1=Isidore |first1=Chris |title=Ford will be the first automaker to import cars from India to the U.S. |url=https://money.cnn.com/2016/11/16/news/companies/ford-cars-import-india/index.html |access-date=11 September 2021 |work=CNNMoney |date=16 November 2016}}

In 2018, Ford ended passenger cars production in Thailand, effectively ending EcoSport production. Ford continues to build pickup trucks and its SUV derivative in the country.{{Cite web|date=2018-04-12|title=New Ford Focus Mk4 won't be made, sold in Thailand|url=https://paultan.org/2018/04/12/new-ford-focus-mk4-wont-be-made-sold-in-thailand/|access-date=2020-05-23|website=Paul Tan's Automotive News|language=en-US}} In 2019, Ford Sollers closed their factory in Naberezhnye, Chelny (Russia) ending production of EcoSport in Russia.{{Cite web|url=https://mag.auto.ru/article/fordvnabchelnah/|title=В России прекратилась сборка моделей Ford Fiesta, Ecosport и Mondeo - читайте в разделе Новости в Журнале Авто.ру|website=Авто.ру}} In 2020, the EcoSport was discontinued from Ford's Australia and New Zealand lineup, with the European-market Ford Puma serving as its replacement.

On 11 January 2021, Ford announced to shutter three production plants in Brazil as part of cost-saving measures. As a result, production of the EcoSport in Brazil was ceased at immediate effect, with the car discontinued in Brazil, alongside the Ka (Figo) and Troller T4.{{Cite web|last=Bushey|first=Claire|date=12 January 2021|title=Ford to cease manufacturing in Brazil after more than a century|url=https://www.ft.com/content/f3117f93-7519-46b5-86ae-5a1cfcf1b9ac|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=13 January 2021|website=Financial Times}}

Engines available include the 1.0-litre EcoBoost developed at Ford's Dunton Technical Center in the UK. It is a turbocharged, cast aluminium block three cylinder made in a {{cvt|74|kW}} and {{cvt|88|to|92|kW}} version, with the latter delivering a peak torque of {{cvt|170|Nm}} from 1,300–4,500 rpm and {{cvt|200|Nm}} on overboost. The use of aluminium for the engine block instead of cast-iron improved engine warm-up time by 50 percent.

The three-cylinder engine design causes inherent vibrations, which are countered by a deliberately unbalanced flywheel, which has less friction than balance shafts.

The exhaust manifold is cast into the cylinder head, reducing engine warm up time. The engine block's height and width dimensions are comparable to an A4 size sheet of paper. This EcoSport version was available in China, Europe, India, the United States, but not Brazil. The Brazilian EcoSport has a 1.6 litre petrol engine, which produces {{cvt|113|bhp}} and {{cvt|115|lb.ft}} torque.

The Russian EcoSport comes with two different engines: a 1.6-litre, which produces 122 bhp (90 kW) and 148 Nm, and a 2.0-litre, which produces 140 bhp (90 kW) and 186 Nm. The 2.0-litre version of EcoSport comes as AWD with manual transmission, while the 1.6-litre is 2WD only but available with six speed manual or PowerShift automotive transmissions.

Along with the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine, the Chinese and the Indian market also get a 1.5-litre Ti-VCT petrol engine, which produces {{cvt|108|bhp||abbr=}} and 140 Nm (103 lb.ft). The EcoSport also has a 1.5-litre TDCi BS6 diesel engine that outputs {{cvt|98|bhp||abbr=}} power at 3,750 rpm and {{cvt|215|Nm||abbr=}} of torque at 1,750-2,500 rpm.[https://www.india.ford.com/content/dam/Ford/website-assets/ap/in/nameplate/ecosport/brochure/Brochure-Ford-Ecosport-2020.pdf] Ford India 12 March 2020

The EcoSport was due to receive a facelift for the Indian market, but was cancelled suddenly as the Sanand plant will be closing in the fourth quarter of 2021 along with the Chennai plant in the second half of 2022. As a result of that, a stop production of the EcoSport was issued through Ford of India. Additionally, all models that were due to be exported to Argentina, Mexico, Canada, and the US have all been cancelled as well, however, the EcoSport will still be sold in Europe and will be built at facility in Romania.{{cite news |title=Facelifted Ford EcoSport Launch Cancelled Following Ford India's Announcement Of Ceasing Production {{!}} CarDekho.com |url=https://www.cardekho.com/india-car-news/ford-indiarsquos-latest-announcement-leads-to-the-cancellation-of-the-facelifted-ecosport-27755.htm |access-date=11 September 2021 |work=CarDekho |date=10 September 2021 |language=en}}{{Cite web|url=https://autoesporte.globo.com/mercado/noticia/2021/09/ford-fecha-fabricas-na-india-e-encerra-vendas-do-ecosport-em-argentina-mexico-e-estados-unidos.ghtml|title=Ford fecha fábricas na Índia e encerra vendas do EcoSport em Argentina, México e Estados Unidos|website=autoesporte|date=9 September 2021 }}{{cite news |title=Dead, In The US: Ford EcoSport {{!}} Jalopnik.com |url=https://jalopnik.com/dead-in-the-us-ford-ecosport-1847652066 |access-date=11 September 2021 |work=Jalopnik |date=10 September 2021 |language=en}}{{cite web |website=Motorpasión México |last1=García |first1=Gerardo |title=Ford dejará de producir autos en India: esto pasará con Figo y EcoSport en México |url=https://www.motorpasion.com.mx/industria/ford-cierra-fabricas-india-figo-ecosport |access-date=14 September 2021 |language=es-MX |date=14 September 2021}} Its Indian production restarted on 24 September 2021 for 2 years.{{cite web |last1=Calaza |first1=Hernando |title=Ford Ecosport reinicia la producción en India para exportación |url=https://noticias.autocosmos.com.mx/2021/09/24/ford-ecosport-reinicia-la-produccion-en-india-para-exportacion |website=Autocosmos México |access-date=29 September 2021 |language=es-MX |date=24 September 2021}}
