2022 Ford EcoSport vs. 2022 Lexus NX

The 2022 Ford EcoSport and the 2022 Lexus NX are two of the most popular compact crossovers. While both offer a lot of room for passengers, cargo, and even your prized pooch, they have some essential differences that could make one more appealing. Let’s look at those differences so you can decide which is best for you!

Design & Style

  • Exterior Design

The 2022 Ford EcoSport looks fairly similar to the 2022 Lexus NX. Both are a little taller and wider than their predecessors, with a presence that’s more substantial. The EcoSport still has its signature smiley-face grille, but it’s flanked by character lines extending from headlights down the hood into a bulging fender line. The rear end is also more powerful, with an angle-back C-pillar and dual exhaust outlets.

  • Interior Design

The interior of the 2022 Ford EcoSport and 2022 Lexus NX are similar in design, and both feature a pleasant experience for passengers. The 2022 Ford EcoSport's cabin is unique and has a large space for passengers. It also features a more modern look than other models in its class, which makes it stand out from other SUVs on the road today.

The 2022 Lexus NX has an impressive interior design similar to many luxury vehicles today. There's plenty of space inside this SUV, but it needs some modern touches like those found in the 2022 Ford EcoSport, so it doesn't match up with this vehicle when it comes to style or comfort inside these two SUVs (although both cars are comfortable)

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Ford EcoSport is available with a host of driver-assist technologies, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. The NX also comes equipped with these features as standard equipment. However, the EcoSport does offer more advanced safety tech than its Japanese rival: blind spot monitoring, a front collision warning system with pedestrian detection, and backup camera are all optional extras on the Lexus.

Performance

The 2022 Ford EcoSport and the 2022 Lexus NX offer a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The two models have different horsepower ratings, but they're close enough that you can't tell much of a difference in real-world driving. The 2022 Ford EcoSport's engine produces 203 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, while the 2022 Lexus NX's engine produces 205 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque.

The Bottom Line

Overall, the 2022 Ford EcoSport comes out on top. It has a higher score than the Lexus NX Sedan in five categories and matches or beats the Lexus in many others. The EcoSport is also cheaper to own and operate, even when you consider its higher fuel economy rating and more extended warranty coverage period.
