How far can a Ford EcoSport go on a full tank?
In the US market, a Ford EcoSport typically can cover about 340 to 380 miles on a full tank, depending on the engine and driving style. The common fuel-tank size is 13.6 gallons, and EPA fuel-economy figures vary by powertrain.
What determines the EcoSport's range
Range is determined by how much fuel the tank holds and how efficiently the engine converts fuel into distance. Two common EcoSport powertrains in the United States affect range differently: a smaller EcoBoost turbo engine, which is generally more fuel-efficient, and a larger naturally aspirated engine, which uses more fuel on average.
Engine options and EPA estimates
Below are typical official numbers for US-market EcoSport models in recent years, based on EPA estimates:
- Fuel tank capacity: 13.6 US gallons (about 51.5 liters).
- 1.0-liter EcoBoost I-3: 27 mpg city / 29 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined.
- 2.0-liter I-4: 23 mpg city / 29 mpg highway / 25 mpg combined.
Concluding: With a full 13.6-gallon tank, the EPA-estimated ranges are roughly 380 miles for the EcoBoost 1.0L (about 28 mpg combined) and about 340 miles for the 2.0L engine (about 25 mpg combined), assuming steady highway driving and ideal conditions.
Real-world factors and how to maximize range
Actual distance on a full tank varies with driving style, terrain, climate, and payload. Highway driving at steady speeds typically approaches EPA estimates, while city driving, cold weather, or carrying a heavy load will usually reduce range.
- Highway speeds around 60–65 mph tend to yield better mpg than frequent stop-and-go urban driving.
- Keeping tires inflated to the recommended pressure can improve fuel efficiency.
- Reducing aerodynamic drag—such as removing roof racks when not in use—can help on EcoBoost versions.
Concluding: For planning purposes, expect a realistic range near the lower end of the EPA estimates in city or mixed conditions, and closer to the higher end on long highway trips.
Summary
The Ford EcoSport’s range on a full tank depends on the engine and driving conditions. A 13.6-gallon tank combined with the 1.0L EcoBoost typically yields about 380 miles, while the 2.0L engine sits around 340 miles. Real-world mileage varies with driving style, terrain, and climate, so plan accordingly and consider factors like speed, load, and tire maintenance to maximize range.
