Is the Ford EcoSport considered a compact SUV?

I’ve had a mid-size SUV for a while, and I don’t need the space or gas bills, so I’m looking to downsize to something smaller. Is the Ford EcoSport classified as a compact SUV or a subcompact?

Downsizing your vehicle is a great way to
save money on car expenses
. The Ford EcoSport is a subcompact SUV and Ford’s most affordable SUV. It’s smaller than the Ford Escape and just a few inches longer than the Ford Fiesta Hatchback.
Although the name suggests it’s small, the EcoSport actually has a fair bit of cargo and passenger space for a vehicle of its size. It was updated in 2021 and boasted a refreshed interior, additional features on specific trim levels, and standard all-wheel drive.
If you’re looking for space without moving to a larger SUV, here are some specs to consider:
Total passenger volume (cubic feet): 91.1 Front Head Room (inches): 39.6 Front Leg Room (inches): 42.9 Front Shoulder Room (inches): 53.3 Front Hip Room (inches): 51.6 Second Row Head Room (inches): 37.5 Second Row Leg Room (inches): 36.7 Second Row Shoulder Room (inches): 51.3 Second Row Hip Room (inches): 50.9 Cargo Space/Area Behind Front Row (cubic feet): 50 Cargo Space/Area Behind Second Row (cubic feet): 20.9
Downsizing to the EcoSport is an excellent option for anyone looking to reduce car expenses without compromising a ton of space, but ensure you protect it with a quality
car insurance
policy.
