Ford’s EcoSport provides a practical solution to everyday driving that is better for the environment while still providing an enjoyable driving experience. While most environmentally friendly cars can be less impressive in performance, the EcoSport can be fun to drive for a number of reasons. If you are looking for a way to help the environment and enjoy your daily commute, here are four technologies that will make driving the 2018 Ford EcoSport more enjoyable. 
- Sport-Tuned Suspension
A good sport-tuned suspension can make any car feel more like a race car. The key is in the suspension dampening, which allows the suspension to control how fast and extensively it responds to stimulus. A sport-tuned suspension also promotes better performance by giving you better control over the road in different situations. The Ford EcoSport comes with a sport-tuned suspension, which makes it feel smooth but in touch with the road as you drive.
- Waze
Waze is a popular navigation app that gives you better control over your commute. Waze is crowd-sourced, meaning that community members provide real-life traffic updates in the app. That way, you can always see what is going on down your route with a high degree of accuracy. Commuting to work and back each day through traffic can take the fun out of driving. Waze can help fix that by giving you up-to-date traffic reports and helping you find alternative ways of getting to where you want to go. A Waze integration comes with the available SYNC 3 AppLink.
- Alexa
The Ford EcoSport is also compatible with Amazon’s Alexa. Once you connect your smart device using the Ford+Alexa app, you can control Alexa much the same way you do at home. That means the voice commands that Alexa knows become available, making it easy for you to have a personal assistant anywhere. Alexa also can interact with your smart house Alexa components even if you are not home. Alexa’s voice commands also help make driving much safer since you can voice activate most of the Ford EcoSport’s features through Alexa.
- Swing Gate
While it is not as flashy as the other options on this list, the new swing gate makes a substantial difference in how useful your Ford EcoSport is. Rather than lifting over your head, the tailgate of the Ford EcoSport swings to the side. Overhead tailgates can be difficult to use, but one that swings open is much easier to handle. By using the swing gate, loading and unloading the Ford EcoSport is much easier and more enjoyable.
The Ford EcoSport can be an interesting way to enjoy driving while helping the environment thanks to the numerous technology components that make it easier to use. If you want to know more about it, you should stop by Power Ford to see it in person. A deeper look at the features as well as a test drive with a knowledgeable Ford expert can help you see why the Ford EcoSport is a great option for your driving needs.
