However, the introduction of the 2018 Ford EcoSport, the smallest SUV from the assembly lines of the American automaker proves that great things also come in small packages. The EcoSport is set to appear in the LA Auto Show 2016 which is happening in a few days but its cover has already been lifted officially.
