TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Chevy Trax crossover has a low price for a tall ride height–and not much else.

The 2020 Ford Ecosport is not particularly good value, not particularly efficient, and not particularly good.

TCC Likes

Reasonable base price
Roomier inside than it looks
Optional AWD

City-friendly size
Spacious enough interior
Back seat head room

TCC Dislikes

Lackluster to drive
Short on safety gear
Base LS model is truly plain

Sluggish acceleration
So-so fuel economy
Poor safety scores
