2020 Ford Ecosport vs. Its Competition

2020 Ford Ecosport
Brian León Brian León Contributing Writer

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.
