The interior gets a big floating touchscreen infotainment system that comes paired with a Bang & Olufsen Sound System. The seats, steering wheel and the gear lever are finished in leather and also get contrast red stitching.
Powering the Ford EcoSport ST-Line is a new EcoBlue 1.5-litre diesel engine that produces 125 horses and 300 Nm of torque. This oil-burner unit is matched to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Other features in the car include automatic climate control, cruise control with Adjustable Speed Limiter, rear-view camera and a blind-spot information system.
