“It's safe, gets great gas mileage, FORD is reputable and dependable. For an older person it's easy to get in and out of. The rear door entrance is way easier than the hatchback style. Great for an elderly single person.”
2022 Ford EcoSport: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Ford EcoSport is that every trim has the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. Otherwise, it is largely unchanged, and 2022 is its final U.S. model year.
About the 2022 Ford EcoSport
U.S.-market first generation (2018-2022), final year.
Ford positions the EcoSport as a small, easy-to-park SUV built around versatility. The brochure emphasizes flexible cargo space, a side-hinged rear gate, upright seating, and simple everyday connectivity, while 2022 adds standard 4WD across the line. In practice, the EcoSport’s identity is a city-friendly crossover with useful cargo flexibility and year-round traction, aimed at drivers who want SUV ride height and Ford branding in one of the brand’s smallest packages.
The 2022 EcoSport ranges from the straightforward S to the more comfortable SE, which adds heated front seats, a moonroof, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SES pairs black exterior details with a sport-tuned suspension, while the Titanium focuses on comfort and technology with navigation, blind-spot monitoring, and a 10-speaker B&O audio system.

Every trim now uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The lower-output engine and front-wheel-drive configurations from 2021 do not carry over.

(86 reviews)
“If you're looking for a smaller SUV with decent gas mileage, I would recommend this car. It has a good look. It's easy to park and fun to drive.”
“This vehicle is great for a single person who likes to get out and travel a bit. It's the perfect size for 2-3 people, but gets too full at 4 adults. Room for suitcases is fine if you're just 2 people as well. It's a fun vehicle.”
