TCC’s Bottom Line

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

The 2020 Honda HR-V oozes with practicality, though gas mileage and safety equipment have room to improve.

City-friendly size
Spacious enough interior
Back seat head room

Brilliant interior flexibility
Good value even at top trim
Tidy interior

TCC Dislikes

Sluggish acceleration
So-so fuel economy
Poor safety scores

Slow acceleration
A few too many details
Emergency braking only on EX and above
