These engine options will allow consumers to find the ideal model for their lifestyle. The 2017 Mazda CX-3 features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Both Ford EcoSport engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine comes standard with all-wheel drive capability on the EcoSport!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/05\/20190511\/2018-Ford-EcoSport-A-14_o-1024x395.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/05\/20190511\/2018-Ford-EcoSport-A-14_o-1024x395.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/05\/20190511\/2018-Ford-EcoSport-A-14_o-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/05\/20190511\/2018-Ford-EcoSport-A-14_o-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/05\/20190511\/2018-Ford-EcoSport-A-14_o.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Technology differences between Mazda CX-3 and Ford EcoSport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The all-new 2018 Ford EcoSport is available with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/how-to-use-sync-3-apple-carplay\/\">Apple CarPlay<\/a> and Android Auto, allowing drivers to integrate their compatible smartphone with the infotainment system, providing access to apps native of their phone operating systems.
