Why is the Ford EcoSport's engine overheating?

I bought my brand new Ford EcoSport just a month ago and I have noticed that the engine keeps overheating. I haven't driven it for long distances yet but even on short drives, the temperature gauge goes past the normal range. What could be causing this issue?

Based on your description, it seems like there could be an issue with the cooling system. It is best to take your car to a certified Ford technician as soon as possible to diagnose and fix the problem.

I had a similar issue with my EcoSport and it turned out to be a faulty thermostat. I suggest getting it checked and replaced if needed.
