2020 Ford Ecosport vs. Its Competition

2020 Ford Ecosport
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

The Chevrolet Trax competes with the Ecosport and outpaces it in nearly every way, but that’s not saying much: it’s dull and sluggish, but has a more modern design and technology.

Honda’s HR-V is pleasant enough to drive and represents better value than the Ford.

The Hyundai Kona is the best of this bunch, with distinctive styling, great features, and standout value, not to mention an electric version.

Jeep’s Renegade wins the personality and off-road ability battle with its Trailhawk model.

Mazda’s CX-3 is the sharpest to look at and great to drive but has a small back seat and puny cargo space.

Quick Specs
3.7
The 2020 Ford Ecosport is not particularly good value, not particularly efficient, and not particularly good.
5.3
The 2019 Honda HR-V makes a perfect in-town companion with its spacious, flexible interior and good ride quality.
6.2
The 2019 Hyundai Kona takes less of your money for more of its space; it’s a compact crossover SUV that shares our priorities, if not our sensibilities.
4.8
The 2019 Jeep Renegade’s new engine should help this likable crossover SUV use less fuel.
5.8
The 2019 Mazda CX-3 fails to launch in the crossover-SUV space race.
