TCC’s Bottom Line

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

The 2020 Hyundai Venue is a subcompact crossover with big ideas.

TCC Likes

City-friendly size
Spacious enough interior
Back seat head room

Spunky looks
Flexible cargo space
Hatchback practicality

TCC Dislikes

Sluggish acceleration
So-so fuel economy
Poor safety scores

Is it too small?
That grille, though
