How does the 2022 Chevrolet Trax compare to the 2022 Ford EcoSport?

This brings us to the fundamental point of EcoSport that will be significant to drivers on a limited budget. The EcoSport SE 4WD model raises the trim level just one, adding options such a power sunroof, automatic climate control, and heated front seats. The power moonroof with sunshade and automated climate control are not even options for Trax customers.

This leads us to the underlying point about EcoSport that will be important to your budget-minded customers. Just one trim level above base, the EcoSport SE 4WD model adds uplevel content, such as the power moonroof, automatic climate control and heated front seats. Trax buyers can’t get those features — power moonroof with sunshade and automatic climate control aren’t even available.

Rear Parking Sensors are another convenience that EcoSport offers in SE trim, along with other features that Trax either does not offer or only offers in LT grade. A 2022 Trax LT AWD with comparable equipment costs $25,015 MSRP. The MSRP for the EcoSport SE 4WD is $25,460.

Long story short, the EcoSport provides features for less giving you the best value in the compact SUV group of vehicles on the road today.

How does the 2022 Honda HR-V compare to the 2022 Ford EcoSport?

The Honda HR-V was all new in 2016 and has not been more than refreshed since then. This may explain options like rain-sensing wipers and rear parking sensors are not even offered on the Honda HR-V.

The HR-V promotes the idea that it offers a balance between style, adaptability, and technology. The second-row "Magic Seat" in the HRV enables owners to fold the seat cushions up for storage on a flat floor. The EcoSport also includes flip-up/fold-down seats in the second row, so there isn't much magic about it.

Compared to the HR-V engine, the 2.0L GDI I-4 EcoSport engine produces 22 more lb.-ft. of torque and 25 more horsepower. Alongside EcoSport offers Intelligent 4WD as standard equipment. While AWD is an option available for the HR-V it is not standard equipment.

In comparison to the HR-V AWD EX model, the EcoSport SE 4WD offers uplevel features at a cheaper price. The Honda HR-V AWD EX starts at $26,120 MSRP, whereas the SE 4WD model is only one step above the entry-level S 4WD variant.

You may not expect a vehicle as well-equipped as the EcoSport SE 4WD at this pricing. Many of these features are also present in the HR-V, although at a higher starting price.
