Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda HR-V than in the Ford EcoSport, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Ford EcoSport offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda HR-V, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Honda HR-V requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Ford EcoSport, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Ford EcoSport or the Honda HR-V, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Ford EcoSport is much slimmer than the Honda HR-V, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Ford EcoSport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Honda HR-V.

Handling
The Ford EcoSport has a smaller turning radius than the Honda HR-V, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Ford EcoSport has a little more horsepower than the Honda HR-V.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford EcoSport transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Honda HR-V.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford EcoSport and the Honda HR-V. The Ford EcoSport has less cargo space than the Honda HR-V, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
