Understand What’s Different About the Ford Ecosport Storm 2020
The Ford car debuted with exclusive attributes for the version. Right away, the 4×4 SUV draws attention with the version identification on the front grille, on the sides, and on the spare tire cover.

The black stickers (found in various parts of the car) may seem unusual at first glance, but they reinforce its personality. It’s worth noting that the Ford Ecosport Storm 2020 is more robust.
Ford slightly increased the dimensions to make it larger. The model measures 4,357 mm in length, 1,785 mm in width, 1,693 mm in height, and 2,521 mm in wheelbase.
Performance and Consumption of Ford’s SUV
The engine used in the 4×4 SUV is the 2.0 Direct Flex with 176 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission featuring a torque converter. The Ford car has a maximum speed of 180 km/h. The SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11 seconds.
According to the numbers released by Inmetro in the Brazilian Labeling Program (PBE), the consumption figures for the Ford Ecosport Storm 2020 with the 2.0 Direct Flex engine producing 176 horsepower and six-speed automatic transmission are as follows:
Consumption is 6.0 km/l in the city and 8.0 km/l on the highway with ethanol, and 8.5 km/l in the city and 11.4 km/l on the highway with gasoline. Inside, the Ford SUV pleases with good materials, exclusive details, and connectivity.
Overall, the interior finish is of high quality; the panel is made of plastic, however, the 4×4 Ford SUV features some leather-like elements, such as on the door. The seats and steering wheel are covered in leather.
What to Notice When Buying the Ford Ecosport Storm 2020
Despite delivering great numbers, performance, and cutting-edge technologies, the Ford car has some chronic issues.
The 2.0 engine has low tolerance for adulterated fuel, which almost always results in a drop in fuel line pressure. Issues during acceleration indicate problems with the high-pressure pump, but it could also be with the low-pressure pump.
The transmission requires fluid replacement every 240,000 km, but even so, hydraulic pressure loss may occur due to filter saturation. However, it will be far from being as problematic as the Powershift dual-clutch transmission used until this facelift.
For the 4×4 SUV, it is worthwhile to check the condition of the central bearing of the drive shaft and if the oil in the rear differential has been replaced. The lack of an oil pan protector makes it easier to identify damage incurred during off-road routes.
Autonomia de 583km é fake. No máximo 300km.
