2022 Ford EcoSport vs. 2022 Audi Q3

If you're looking for a powerful subcompact SUV with a stylish exterior and remarkable towing capacity, the 2022 Ford EcoSport is a fantastic choice. This one receives kudos for being very maneuverable.

A variety of features are included as standard with the 2022 Audi Q3. What more features of this automobile should you expect? Let's compare these two right now.

Design & Style

Since the Ford EcoSport weighs roughly 600 pounds less than the Audi Q3, it may be more effective, handle, and accelerate better.

The EcoSport is simpler to handle, maneuver, and park in confined areas than the Q3 since it is 1 foot, 3.3 inches shorter.

When the EcoSport's rear seat is folded, there is more room for cargo than when the Q3's rear seat is folded (50 vs. 48 cubic feet).

When less engine cooling is required, the EcoSport's front grille utilizes electronically controlled shutters to block airflow and reduce drag. This enhances highway fuel efficiency. Active grille shutters are not available on the Q3.

Technology & Safety

The EcoSport has a remote vehicle starting feature that allows the driver to start the car from inside their home. By doing this, the driver may easily warm up the engine before getting into the car. Additionally, the temperature control system will automatically warm or cool the inside. There is no remote starting mechanism available for the Q3.

You may use the EcoSport's accessible external PIN entry system to allow yourself in if you accidentally lock your keys inside or don't have them with you. The Q3 lacks an outside PIN entry system, and its additional Audi Connect CARE service cannot open the doors if there is no mobile phone signal or if the driver cannot get in touch with the service.

Power window, power lock, power mirror, and cruise control controls on the EcoSport are backlit, making them more visible and useful at night. The Q3's cruise control controls are dark, making them difficult to locate and use securely at night.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tests brand-new automobiles in front crashes at 35 mph. In this test, Ford EcoSport holds a Head Injury Criterion (HIC) of only 215 compared to Audi Q3’s HIC of 504, making drivers of Audi Q3 more likely to get a head injury arising from an impact.

Performance

The EcoSport achieves greater fuel economy than the Q3 45 TFSI 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder on the EPA test cycle (23 city/29 vs. 21 city/28 hwy).

The Ford EcoSport runs on standard unleaded gasoline to save fuel expenses and make fuel purchases simpler. For best efficiency, the Q3 needs a premium, which might cost 20 to 55 cents more per gallon.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Ford EcoSport receives the same scores for both external designs, but decisively wins in every other comparison area, especially safety. Do you still have any reservations regarding the capabilities of this subcompact SUV? In our view, you'll enjoy it just as much as others who have previously bought the drive.
