What is the highest speed of EcoSport?
The highest speed of the Ford EcoSport varies by engine and market; most current petrol variants top out around 180–200 km/h (112–125 mph), with diesel models typically slower.
The exact top speed depends on engine choice, transmission, and regional tuning, and Ford does not publish a single universal figure. This article breaks down typical top speeds by configuration and explains factors that affect real-world performance.
Engine options and their approximate top speeds
Below are typical top-speed figures for common EcoSport configurations in major markets. Actual speeds depend on drivetrain, aerodynamics, tire size, and official tuning for a given market.
- 1.0-liter EcoBoost (three-cylinder) — about 190–200 km/h (118–125 mph) on most automatic or manual front-wheel-drive setups.
- 1.5-liter Ti-VCT petrol — about 180–190 km/h (112–118 mph), varying with transmission and trim.
- 1.5-liter TDCi diesel — about 170–180 km/h (106–112 mph), where diesel variants are offered.
Note: these numbers are indicative figures from common configurations; official numbers can vary by market and model year.
Testing conditions and market variations
Top speeds are typically measured with standard tires and no load, in controlled testing; real-world conditions such as elevation, vehicle weight, and tire choice can shift results significantly.
Regional differences in the EcoSport lineup
Some regions offer different engine options and tuning. For example, North American models have historically differed from European or Asia-Pacific versions, which in turn affects the top speed you might experience or see published for your specific car.
Summary
In short, the EcoSport’s highest speed isn’t a single universal figure. Across common configurations, petrol EcoSports commonly reach roughly 180–200 km/h (112–125 mph), with diesel versions typically slower. For precise numbers, check the official specifications for your market and model year—or consult your dealer for the exact top speed of your configuration.
