Ford Ecosport vs KIA Sportage Comparison

Instead of going with the erstwhile conventional decision of going with a large hatchback as a first car, I deliberately experimented by making a decision of going with an entry level compact SUV in the form of Ford Ecosport. Ford has done a tremendous job in bringing a revolution with the Ecosport, as with this car, I was able to get a taste of what an SUV feels like at much affordable price. I have always heard a lot about Fords that they are generally fantastic to drive and provide great experience behind the steering wheel. And the Ecosport doesn’t fail on those expectations, and despite having a high ground clearance and relatively small wheelbase, it still feels planted on tarmac. However, the only negative aspect of this car is a cramped rear seat space, which makes the Ecosport a four seater, if you take in the comfort aspect.

The Kia Sportage caught my attention mainly for its looks. It feels much more premium than its price suggests. Once inside, the design is sleek, the seats are comfy, and the tech is easy to use. The engine is smooth enough for city and highway, though it’s not meant for heavy off-roading. The boot space is good for a small family’s needs, and the safety features like lane assist and parking sensors really add confidence. It’s economical to run too. If you’re after something stylish that doesn’t compromise on features, Sportage balances it all nicely.
