Ford's newest utility returns for 2019 with the addition of the sporty SES Black Appearance Package.

On EcoSport SES with Diamond White, Moondust Silver or Lightning Blue exterior paint, a blackpainted roof and black hood decal are standard. With all other exterior colors, the roof and hood decal are body-color. Also on the 2019 EcoSport SES, the interior orange accent changes to Ano Gray.

The 2019 Ford EcoSport continues to offer available technology features that subcompact utility buyers want. These include in-vehicle Wi-Fi, SYNC 3 with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, plus compatibility with Ford+Alexa and Waze navigation, multiple USB charge ports and an 8-inch floating touch screen.

Equipped with either the award-winning, 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost or 2.0-liter four-cylinder, EcoSport provides power and control. Drivers opting for the 2.0-liter engine get Ford's Intelligent 4WD standard. Both come with six-speed automatic transmissions.

As many as 30 stowage pockets, bins, hooks make efficient use of every interior inch. A cargo management system at the rear features a movable floor board and fold-away second-row seats to provide a flat area for moving furniture and other larger items.

Drivers also have the ability to start, lock, unlock and locate their vehicle from almost anywhere using available SYNC Connect with FordPass. The mobile app lets owners view vehicle information, such as the fuel level and odometer reading, when not in the vehicle. EcoSport features two fast-charging USB ports to ensure owners' devices are always juiced. Plus, there's a 12-volt power outlet.

Available options include: Cargo Management Package, Interior Protection Package, SE Convenience Package and SES Black Appearance Package.
