TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Ford EcoSport wants for safety and styling that match even the lowered standards set by its price.

The 2019 Mazda CX-3 fails to launch in the crossover-SUV space race.

Available all-wheel drive
Decent fuel economy

Great, simple exterior shape

TCC Dislikes

Finicky infotainment system
