Compare the Ford EcoSportto the Honda HR-V and Nissan Kicks

When you're on the hunt for an SUV that doesn't take up too much space, we think the Ford EcoSport might be just what you're looking for. With peppy engine performance, a roomy interior for your passengers and cargo, and a sporty design that doesn't quit, the Ford EcoSport makes your daily commute the easiest part of your day.

However, the EcoSport isn't the only option for drivers looking in the subcompact crossover market. Competitors like the Chevy Trax and Nissan Kicks are available options, and it can become challenging to narrow the selection down to your ideal SUV. Below you'll find our comparisons of the two rivals to the Ford EcoSport. You'll see how the Ford SUV stacks up against competition from Nissan and Chevy. Let us know if you have any questions or would like to know more about the Ford EcoSport!

Ford EcoSport vs. Chevy Trax

The Ford EcoSport comes standard with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the Chevy Trax makes do with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that outputs 155 horsepower and 177 pound-feet. While the Trax might offer more torque, the Ford EcoSport is quicker to accelerate with its 166 horsepower. To assist with your drive, the EcoSport equips intelligent all-wheel drive standard for its lineup. If you want all-wheel drive in the Chevy Trax, you'll have to pay more to equip the optional feature.

With the Ford SUV, you'll have more features available than you'll find in the new Chevy Trax. The Ford EcoSport lineup offers a heated steering wheel, keyless-entry keypad, power moonroof with sunshade, windshield wiper de-icer, and rain-sensing wipers throughout the lineup. You won't find any of these features available in the Chevy Trax. Options like heated front seats and intelligent access with a push-button start are standard on the EcoSport SE trim but only available as part of a package for the Trax lineup. Suffice it to say, the Ford EcoSport comes with better features across the trim configurations.

Ford EcoSport vs. Nissan Kicks

If there's one thing you had to pick from the Ford lineup that the vehicles do well, it's probably performance over rival options. This trend continues with the Ford EcoSport over the Nissan Kicks. The EcoSport's standard 2.0-liter engine offers 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque, while the Nissan Kicks comes standard with a powertrain that only manages 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. The Ford SUV also comes standard with all-wheel drive - you won't find an AWD system anywhere in the Nissan SUV lineup.

Spacious subcompact SUVs might not be something you consider, but the Nissan Kicks and Ford EcoSport SUVs are some of the roomiest options in their class. However, the Ford EcoSport is the more spacious option in this comparison. The EcoSport SUV offers a maximum of 50 cubic feet, significantly more than the Nissan Kicks' 32.3 cubic feet of cargo space. For your passengers, the Ford EcoSport offers cozy seating materials and comfy seating arrangements, with plenty of headroom and legroom for your adult passengers. The Nissan Kicks can't match the seating space offered in the Ford EcoSport lineup.
