One year after the introduction of a new entry-level derivative to the EcoSport range, Ford South Africa has introduced a more dynamic EcoSport Black edition for its compact crossover. The new trim adds a number of sporty styling cues to the exterior.
With a price tag of R336 900, the EcoSport Black is given more of a visual presence by means of a black finish for the grille, front skid plate, roof and integrated roof rails. Black bonnet and door decals, inspired by the EcoSport Storm, together with a set of blacked-out 16-inch alloy wheels and spare wheel cover completes the bold design.
The EcoSport Black is based on the Ambiente 1,5 Auto which means it sources power from the 1,5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine pushing 91 kW and 151 N.m of torque to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
Standard features include manual air-conditioning, all-round electric windows, a 4,2-inch infotainment screen connected to two USB ports and six-speakers. The Black also features six airbags, deal ISOfix on the rear seats, and electronic stability and traction control.
