Meeting the Ford #EcoSport for the First Time

Last Updated on 2017-05-11 by Linda

 A Labour of Life received an invitation from Ford Canada to attend a media preview of the new Ford EcoSport at the Ottawa-Gatineau International Auto Show. All opinions are our own.

The Ottawa-Gatineau International Auto Show is happening and Thursday Night Kent and I had the pleasure of attending a media preview event as guests of Ford Canada, celebrating their launch of the all-new Ford EcoSport. It is the sleekest, cutest SUV I ever did see.

“The all-new EcoSport is the compact SUV designed to be the perfect partner for a life full of surprising possibilities. It’s what you need when you need it. Trim outside, spacious inside, it’s nimble and ready for just about anything.”

I love the look of the new EcoSport, all the benefits of an SUV in a more compact size.  The prototype at the car show was the Titanium edition.  So sleek, I am very impressed with the look I just wish we could have gotten to sit inside. Ford is continuing its commitment to sustainability and using renewable materials in the production of their vehicles. “The small but mighty honeybee was the inspiration behind the design of the adjustable cargo floorboard in the all-new For EcoSport. The strong, but superlight cargo shelf weighs just six pounds, but can handle almost 700 pounds of heavy items. Constructed from all-natural paper and water-based glue, the eco-friendly honeycomb floorboard is just one example of how EcoSport was designed to help you Go Small and Live Big!”

Kent and I had a great evening with the Ford representatives at the Ottawa-Gatineau International Auto Show. The evening was filled with great food time, great friends and  learning about the EcoSport.

Thursday was opening night at the Car Show so not only did I get to discover the new EcoSport we also got to explore the entire Trade show,  Three floors of amazing cars to dream about.

At the end of the evening we received a special treat, Kent was one of the winners of tickets to a Sens Game in the Ford Suite.  Interested in getting a chance to join us or Ford in the Suite? Follow @theFordSuperFan for a chance to win tickets.

I have to give a special thanks to Ford Canada, and especially Melissa and Fernando, for a wonderful evening out celebrating the Ford EcoSport! Can’t wait to see that Baby roll off the assembly line here in Canada.
