2022 Ford EcoSport vs. 2022 Toyota C-HR

The 2022 Ford EcoSport is a great option if you're seeking for a powerful subcompact SUV with a sleek design and exceptional towing capabilities. We commend this one for its excellent maneuverability.

What further features can you anticipate from the 2022 Toyota C-HR, which already comes with a number of amenities as standard? Now let's compare these two.

Design & Style

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 C-HR.

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. There is no outside PIN entry method available with the C-HR.

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

When the back seat is up, the EcoSport's cargo capacity is much more than the C- HR's (20.9 vs. 19.1 cubic feet). When the EcoSport's rear seat is folded, it boasts a much bigger cargo space than the C-HR does (50 vs. 37 cubic feet).

Technology & Safety

Knee airbags for the driver and front passenger are standard on the Ford EcoSport, and they are located low on the dashboard. These airbags assist in keeping the driver and front passenger in a better position for optimal protection during a collision by preventing them from slipping beneath their seatbelts or the primary frontal airbags. In the event of a severe frontal crash, knee airbags also assist in keeping the legs from impacting the dashboard, reducing the risk of knee and leg injuries. The front passenger side knee airbag on the C-HR is not available.

The EcoSport offers all-wheel drive to increase traction in bad weather, particularly in ice and snow. The C-HR is all-wheel drive incompatible.

New cars are put through rigorous testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in front accidents at 35 mph. In this test, Ford EcoSport scored better overall than Toyota C-HR for chest compression, neck injury risk, and neck stress, making Toyota C-HR drivers more likely to sustain physical harm as a result of an accident.

Performance

The basic model 2.0 DOHC 4-cylinder engine in the Ford EcoSport has a high power output of up to 166 horsepower. The BMW's base 2.0 DOHC 4-cylinder engine is somewhat underpowered, producing only up to 144 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

For both exterior designs, the 2022 Ford EcoSport obtains similar ratings to its competitor, but it triumphs handily in every other comparative category, notably safety. Do you still have any concerns about this subcompact SUV's capabilities? We think you'll appreciate it just as much as those who have already purchased the drive.
