Business Car Manager verdict
There’s definitely some fun to be had driving the EcoSport down twisty roads, and we do like the 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo engine, but in many ways this car can’t live up to the competition.
The interior lags behind the Peugeot 2008 and Citroen Cactus, and so do the running costs. As a result, either of those French cars will work out as cheaper company cars for you and your business. So while it may be a good car, it’s not a particularly good company car.
