Hyundai Kona vs Ford EcoSport - A Pint Sized Battle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2018
- The 2018 Hyundai Kona and 2018 Ford EcoSport are two of the most recent sub-compact crossovers to land in America but the two couldn't be more different. The Kona is an all-new design while the EcoSport is a tried-and-true design coming to us for the first time. The Kona drives like a lightly lifted hatchback while Fors channeled their inner Escape when designing their smallest go anywhere CUV. One has a standard turbo, the other makes a turbo optional, one has headlamps where you expect and the other does not. One has a hatch, the other has a 5th door. Which is right for you? Let's find out.

You can never say your shopping is complete without watching "Alex on Autos
" review! Thanks for sharing Sir!
I just drove my new Kona Limited with AWD, Dual Clutch trans, and 1,6T engine from Roseville CA in NorCal over Echo Summit (7382 el.) on I-50 to a hiking destination on Hwy 89 with three passengers plus myself. I had no trouble maintaining 60 mph and up to 75 mph for passing in the passing lanes. Very curvy steep road but the Kona handled great.
Hey! Roseville represent! (From citrus Heights) good to hear its performance is good.
916!
A very complete and informative presentation. Thumbs up for Alex on Autos
I have been driving the Kona 1.6 Turbo AWD for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. Looks good, amazing power, fun to drive, great in snow, loaded of tech and 0 problems. I just love it!
Thanks for doing this review as I was looking for exact car brand/model comparison. Great job!
Thanks Alex I really like this side by side comparison review. Bring out more in the future.
just got my Kona last week and im looooving it!!!
I youbto Butvthe Kona Ultimate 4 times. To no avail. My credit history is under to drain.
Just the video I've been looking for... for a little while now. THANKS for taking the time to make this video. I work at Ford as a technician, and I assume I'd get a good deal on the Ecosport, or an Escape for that matter. BUT, then I see the features list and photos of the Kona! :) Seems like a great vehicle!
My ‘21 Kona Limited AWD in red looks incredible. Bought it new with only 17 miles and still love to drive it today.
Great review. That swing rear door on Eco is a deal breaker for me
Cheers, Patrick
I have a 2008 Rav4 with the swing-out doors that I bought new and still own. No issues.
I am always amazed that people see the rear door of the Ecosport as something that will give you problems when parallel parking. We live in the Netherlands, a small country, but hardly ever parallel park. When living in the US, same thing, we never parallel parked our car's. As a matter of fact, since my spouse and I differ in length quite a bit, the way the Ecosport rear door opens is fantastic for us. Wish there would be more car's like it. Unfortunately they stopped making the Ecosport.........
my wife has the Ford. she found it much better especially with the gear box and i did to. She loves the Ecosport and will not change her mind and me to. This is also her second ecosport.
I had the Ecosport loaner for a week. When I looked next to the back of the front window, prior to changing lanes, the styling completely blocked my vision. No go.
I love the influence that the SUV/Crossover craze has had on very small cars. Using the increased vertical space has meant they are much more practical and I think it's helped with the styling too. I was very sceptical about the SUV style about 10 years ago, but I concur with several comments that state if we were to invent the car from scratch today, the sedan style would not be the preferred option. Think cars from 80 years ago: Tall, high ground clearance, big wheels and very upright. Roomy too for their lenght.
I pulled a Kona out of a intersection with my EcoSport back in January. Subcompact SUVs are a compromise not much sport or utility. However I think the Ecosport 2.0L has more utility. Higher clearance bigger engine and a little heavier. And a 2000 lb towing capacity.
Good video. Helped me make up my mind. These videos are a car salesman's best friend. Now to visit my Ford dealer. Again, thank you!
I like these comparison reviews.
I don't think I've ever disagreed with you Alex.. but I think the Kona looks better
Kona definitely looks better!
Nope
@@-dodup-5970
Kona looks significantly better lol
Mid January I pulled a Kona out of an intersection with my EcoSport. The Ford has more clearance and a bigger engine it's a more capable vehicle.
Alex, congrats on your thorough reviews, you really make it easy to make a wise decision.
He didn't discuss towing capacity. The Kona can tow 2000 lbs but not with the the dual clutch transmission. Every ecosport can tow regardless of the engine option. Both engines of the ecosport use the same transmission as is used in the ford escape. The jeep renegade is the only other sub compact CUV with towing capacity but it too depends on the choice of engine and transmission options. The Kona is visually a little more attractive but I like the ecosport's looks just fine. The ecosport's acceleration is dismal but 0-40 is actually pretty good so it works really well in fast moving crowded city streets. If you're not planning on towing why spend the money on a subcompact CUV. if you are planning on towing, the ecosport is a serious competitor with less confusion. Every ecosport can tow and every ecosport is equipped with 4 wheel disc brakes standard on every trim level. Fuel economy, I drive at 70 and that gets me up to 30 mpg hwy. All the competitors may benefit similarly to the speed limit but the ecosport is a better choice than some people give it credit for.
Usually hate how these cars look but I really like the Kona styling. Especially compared to the Ecosport.
I have the 2016 Titanium eco sport and agree with you about the rear door , also hidden in the settings is traction control , tire pressure sensors and assisted hill start . Also with Ford you have 911 / 999 automatic assistance . I do miss no automatic folding mirror even on my full specd Titanium model.
The comment section made me chose Kona over the Ford. Delivery will be tmr, I’m excited.
were buying one. looks great .inside big enough .equipment good. price good.I love it!!
Enjoyed watching this comparison. I'd like to see the Honda HR-V versus the Toyota C-HR.
My sister was looking for something with 4wd and decent ground clearance for getting through snow and she came down to these two and bought a ecosport titanium and is picking it up Monday
I guess it's kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new series online ?
I Have a 2019 Ford EcoSport SE. We love it. Getting almost 32mpg.
I think the EPA gets it wrong with those small turbo engines in something like a small crossover. They're almost always under real world figures.
I generally like the designs of these small crossovers.... I had a Nissan Cube and loved it's practicality.
Love my Echosport! It’s 4wd and I am getting 27mpg. Very fun to drive. Lots of great features that are not always mentioned, like a heated steering wheel.
I have a ecosport ses your the only one who likes it me too and ambient light
I got an Ecosport too and i love mine too. I wanted a small car and i wanted the ground clearance that a reg. car does not have so i hopefully can get through the snow. I have nothing bad to say about this car so far anyway.
The ECOSPORT has INTELLIGENTS 4wd/2wd drive it will fell heavy but it will get you through the snow but the speed is sluggish
very objective review. thank you.☺
I've driven both vehicles in 2020-2021 in CA. & TX. Both are comfortable and sporty look. Yet, speed/fuel and safety I have to choose the Hyundai Kona. It's great in heavy traffic, quick stops, luggage space in trunk, tight space parking and inside/outside looks. Thanks for the great review on both type of Ecosports.
Usually hate how these cars look but I really like the Kona styling.
The Kona is not that nice looking tbh
Subjective,... I kinda like it too, tbh also. Snowing today, test driving a Limited one Monday...
Spent a year hating the Kona front end. Spent another year not minding the Kona front end. Then I fell in love with the Kona front end for 6 months and bought one (Kona Luxury AWD 2L 6 Auto) in may of 2020. FIVE year 100,000 Kilometer warranty. Wife said "now this feels like a "MY sized car". Took the car back to the dealer and wrote a check. The 2L 6 Auto (Luxury) was $4,400 less than the 1.6 Turbo, 7 speed Ultima. It's a grocery getter with power leather seats (and power lumbar) good in snow loaded with safety electronics AND it has Android Auto. Safe and happy wife makes a happy home and husband. Wanted that florescent lime colour but no luck (took a bright White one). For the record, I'm 77 years old and my wife is 63 years old and we live in a mountainous area of B.C. in Canada. I drive an Infinity FX AWD (white).
side opening door is good for old people, as hatch backs are difficult to close when old,
Kona wins by far. Really great car! My best friend has had one since launch and loves it.
Is the Kona cheap inside?
@@buildmorefarms1007 there is quite a lot of hard plastic, but you also got to look at the price you can buy it for. It's not as high quality as a Kia Soul on the inside.
I just drove an Ecosport Titanium with AWD from Denver to Lander, Wyoming and it was constantly struggling to maintain speed through the mountain highways. The fuel economy was also pretty terrible, and coupled with a relatively small tank, it made for a drive with more stops than I would have liked. All things considered, I really didn't enjoy the vehicle.
Flat roads all the way here..... Red lights on every freaking corner... Small gas tank, oh boy!! Going to get Titanium with upgrades.... Seems like people have huge different . needs for car use than me... Just might have to get away from a hurricane but other than that, I like what I am reading about the car and the negatives don't apply to me....
@@pattyneubauer7125 same here. These internet experts fail to see the Ecosport has been out an is a proven model. Im getting Ecosport Titanium 2.0 AWD.
At 6'-275 and a guy who hits the weights regularly, I'm looking for something I'll fit in, give me great mileage and not break the bank. I saw an all black sporty car yesterday in Hollywood and it was a Kona. I really liked the way it looked and will probably go test drive one today.
Ps. You're pretty thorough and good at this. Thanks for the very detailed video.
I really like the format of the EcoSport, as it's such a close match to my beloved '98 Rav4, but it's really too bad that it doesn't come as a manual and it's not made in the states.
It’s weird as it’s only manual here in the UK, they stopped the automatic model.
I have the turbo Kona. Acceleration and handling are really nice. It also looks much better in gray or black than the green shown in this review.
I have a 2018 Eco Sport with the 2.0 an 4 wheel drive, I bought it used with just a little over a year ago ( 2022 ). I havent had a problem with the way the rear door opens so far. I've got power windows, heated seats an steering wheel, speed control, tilting steering wheel, a nice info mont, a moon roof, an 17" tires an wheels. I like the way it drives an handles we haven't got a lot of snow as of yet, but what we had last year the automatic 4wheel drive work well. Even though it runs good an is fast enough for most situations, it could use the turbo version of the 2.0 used in the escape ( why Ford didn't I have no idea ) as I think it would out run the Kona, as my 2014 4 wheel drive Titanium Escape was pretty quick. My Escape didn't have heated seats or steering wheel, nor a Sun roof an the radio an entertainment screen as well as the system didn't work as good as the one I now have in the ECO Sport. The back seat was a little more roomer in the Escape. The back headrests as well as the front fold down which make the head rests a little close to your head ( same as the Escape ). All in all I like the ECO Sport just fine I can keep up with the traffic on the interstate an manuver quite well, if forgot to mention that my ECO Sport has the blind spot side view mirrors which alert you when a car is in your blind spot which my Escape didn't have. So far I would rate my ECO Sport just as good as these other small cross overs an would even been better than some if had turbo charge that I believe was over 200 hp. The only thing I can't figure out is why didn't come out with more accessories for it like a little more off road package ( I know it's not a real off roader an most people wouldn't take it to k crawling or anything like that, but for mild off roading. It could stand to have a tow hitch since it has a fairly good towing capacity, I read where it was tops in towing capacity for it's type of vehicle. I'm sorry but these reviewers don't spend enough time with the cars they have to really get to feel it out. I have read both good an bad reviews on the ECO Sport which is fine, but I think it gets a bum rap. Now maybe if I own it longer an might feel the same way. But I've driven it on highways an Interstate with 75 mile an hour speed limit an have had it close to 100 mph an it did fine. This is my review of the 2018 Ford ECO Sport.
I love the Kona - I am a hatchback type. I wonder how it will drive in the snow and ice?
I bought a 2020 Ecosport titanium AWD and I like it so far! I traded my 16 Lincoln MKX Reserve, it’s definitely a big change but my trade in paid off the rest I owed on the Lincoln and half of the 28,500 ecosport minus the tax and tag. I don’t commute anymore and didn’t need a large vehicle, I fill up once, at most twice a month.
How can one go from a nice luxury crossover to a sub compact economy crossover? Why would one in the first place? Not being rude, just wondering the reasoning.
@@OhPhuckYou $
@@bongodave13 It sounds like he didn't owe much on the Lincoln. It would've been less expensive to keep the Lincoln if the trade in value was enough to pay his principal and pay off half of the EcoSport.
Eco sport have great back visibility window
I have a lower-end 2.0L Kona. Love it except the transmission in normal mode. I pray I never get into an emergency situation where I have to zip away fast. Whenever I'm in dense traffic, I always switch to sport mode, where there's a notable difference, but still not as quick and smooth as I would like.
I also have the 2.0L, but in Luxury trim. Locked AWD in the snow with snowtires is quicker then anything else under the sky and Kona 2.0L encourages you to leave it in locked mode all day long. For city use, passing at under 3000rpm is ample and feel quicker then every other 2.0L NA engine... However, for aggressive driving, it quickly runs out of power at higher rpms. Sports button on 2.0L is garbage and should be deleted since it makes the car less drivable.
The EcoSport looks too much like an '80's minivan to me.
... interesting comparison ... EcoSport rules in Southamerica ... the Kona unavailiable here (Colombia) .... we only have the back tire style and none have the disc brake system in the back wheels but drum system .... very cool "banner" showing lettering for features ... great job ... congrats ...
Alex please make short 5 min versions of your videos.
I laughed at all those Ford vs Hyundai ads while I am watching this video.
The next model year Kona needs the 8 speed (if possible). The EchoSporty also has a massive 2nd row seat liftover.
Why does it "need" another gear? More gears isn't automatically better. Unless it improves acceleration or fuel economy there is no point.
Oddly enough, in Minnesota I see a lot of Konas and barely any Ecosports. Regardless, the driving dynamics and the engine options alone are enough to not even consider the Ecosport.
vvvVFANGSVvvv your point is
Osoji I'm Minnesotan and I've seen both but since their other pretty new I'm not staying them as often yet. I would go with Kona for 2.0L and warranty alone. my preference. but I do have a ford f150 so oh well
Skip the door, would do the hatch. I’m very interested in the Kona EV.
Just like the Fiesta, the EcoSport is _MUCH_ more narrow than one realizes and more narrow than most cars offered in the U.S. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but something to note. It was clearly designed for Europe and Asian markets.
i just bought a kona se. after watching thia video i am glad i went with the kona instead of the ecosport. i am traditionally a ford driver from way back
Alex, do you know if the skyactiv x mazda 3 will come with a manual transmission option?
Ford Ecosport is nice. I own a titanium one.
Are there aftermarket turbo kits for the naturally aspirated 2.0 liter engine ? Boost the HP & torque by 40 or 50 ?
A problem with The EcoSport rear door is, if you're over 6' tall
when bending down to retrieve something out of the back, then you bang your head on the curved top of the door.
Kona looks WAY better, is more powerful, more fuel efficient, better warrantied. The Kona is stylish and interesting to look at. The proportioning of the EcoSport stance looks comically awkward and cartoonish. Like a little SUV in a Pixar film.
In your opinion, not mine.
Fred Moller Obviously it was their opinion. Redundant. Nobody asked for yours, btw.
The Fat Vegan What's wrong with the other person stating their opinion? I like the Ford Ecosport better BUT if somebody likes the Kona better, so what? Everybody is different, stop being a dick🤡
do you think the Kona fuel economy is benefiting from being a close cousin to the Niro? Therefor possibly designed with a more aerodynamic mindset
I wonder how tall Alex is. Makes a difference in judging head and leg room.
Thank you
I prefer the Kona's hatchback style. And I love how compact and zippy it is.
I will gladly choose the Ford Ecosport for my family! We've always had Ford trucks & SUVs an they are awesome. Great tech & unbeatable dependability plus we happier buying an American brand. We need a 3rd vehicle an Ecosport 2.0 AWD looks great.
The Ford was built in India. It was designed by Ford , of Brazil. I'm glad you like your car. Enjoy it. Best to you.
@@heathstjohn6775 As an Indian, I must say that I feel the Ecosport built here is to same standards as it is built elsewhere.
In fact, to give you an idea about the amount of advancement we have made of late in norms, some models built here are exported to South Africa but unlike the South African market, our regulations require certain safety equipment as standard regardless of the variant such as rear parking sensors and frontal airbags and crash compliant structures with a speed warning at 50mph and above.
Just thought to share some info.
@@bommareddybrijendrareddy9301 Thanks very much. I posted what I did to advise the person who thought it was built in the US that it wasn't , but in India. No imputation of lower standards was to be drawn from it , as it was only a geographical correction. I'm sorry to see South African safety standards are lower than yours ; they should aspire to them. Thanks.
@@heathstjohn6775 Nothing taken pal! Please, you needn't apologize. I wasn't sure of what was implied so I just thought to share some info.😊✌
I too believe in what global NCAP is doing and support their cause. They are the ones who are working very hard to educate and enlighten all of the global markets around the world to have similar standards of factory vehicle build and quality along with necessary safety requirements as default irrespective of where and to which market conditions a vehicle is for.

In my personal opinion, We Indians are a bit like Canadians when it comes to being humble, sober, extremely friendly and are respected around the world.
Thank you for sharing your views. Helps us all.
We all are humans at the end of the day, helping each other makes us more happy!
Good day!😊
@@bommareddybrijendrareddy9301 Hello. Indeed. Where I work, (I'm a Londoner), the politest ones, when they come my way, are Indians, mostly; I even get head-bows, sometimes. The English ? Well, there's something, in our working-class, you know, distinctly aggressive: good when you need to win a war, but the manners are sadly lacking.
Thanks for the information.
God bless you.
Need an updated version of this.
Looks like ecosport now has a 4wd option for 2021.
It always had that option in NA.
The differences here mostly stem from a vehicle originally designed for a South Asian and South American market versus a more up to date clean sheet design aimed at the North American and European markets. The Ford is better suited to the flexible hauling demands of vehicles in developing nations. Anyone who has seen overloaded mopeds and event bicycles in South Asian countries can understand those needs. Taller and squarer cargo capacity make the EcoSport more flexible for carrying families and even commercial delivery duties. The greater ground clearance is useful in environments where rough (often gravel) roads are the rule. By the same token, overall performance (both power and handling) is less of a priority in the overcrowded urban environments of South Asia and other developing nation markets.
In contrast, the Kona amounts to a sort of "super hatch" better suited to suburban Costco runs and US/European highways where getting up to speed on an on-ramp is a common challenge and the biggest cargo challenge is hauling the the kids' hockey gear. It's not a "hot hatch," of course. But it is a hatch on steroids. Alex' reference to the Buick Enclave is telling. It amounts to a more luxurious version of the same sort of vehicle.
Overall, the EcoSport strikes me as an interim placeholder for a clean sheet design of a Ford Fiesta "super hatch." Hyundai has already designed that vehicle.
I've watched tons of these utility vehicle reviews and NONE go into ANY detail on roof racks. It seems like these suvs both have the capacity for that. Plenty of folks, like myself, enjoy biking and kayaking and need a vehicle that can carry the types of things that can't fit into the interior. So why isn't that being addressed here? And what about towing capacity?
I have the 2016 Ecosport. I would still choose the Ecosport over the Kona because the materials used in Ecosport are better and high quality. Also the cabin is very quiet like you barely hear anything outside once the doors/windows are closed. Plus, I also love the height clearance and the comfortable ride it gives.
I just bought 2020 st line eco sport for anyone watching this vid now and it is a very nice car
Hope to have this car Huundai Kona2019
I parallel park hardly ever and I personally like the Ecosport better.
james villamor He never said the Hyundai Kona is bad though...
What makes any of those beter...is a meter of personal taste and wey of using the features they ofer.
No one is beter in general
One is beter for some...and other, to some other
Wish you all ... a safe drive....👍🙂🙂👋
I would only buy the Ford EcoSport as I have a Ford Dealer in town, I would have to drive 75 miles to a Hyundai dealer.
The EcoSport is one of the reasons that Ford is going to trucks.
However, we own a Fusion SE Hybrid and it's been a really good vehicle for the four years we've owned it.
Well, only 4 years....I used to own a Fusion 2.0T and was disappointed so I got rid off it.
Tous Shong two different customers and experiences so stfu
Might even be two different cars. The earlier Fusion wouldn't have been a car I was interested in.
Alex, where can I send you an email for a question about some specific SUV? need your input as I will start buying one in a few weeks... thank you!
Alex tends to be fairly responsive on his Facebook page, so I would recommend asking there. However, you should first check his full review for the SUV in question to make sure he hasn't already addressed your question.
@@Pikminiman are u his personal spokes person? Can I possibly make an appointment to meet him?
I am not.
I don’t think I have heard “square”so many times
Ford is going to give you a better deal on the Kona overall? 17:44
Kona is far superior, Ecosoprt is horrible. Pretty much all cons mentioned only apply to the Kona 1.6 Turbo. Just get the 2.0 base Kona instead, it's still much quicker than the Ford, has the same type of transmission and costs less. I don't see a single reason to buy an Ecosport over a Kona 2.0. And for people who want more power the Kona 1.6 Turbo is the only option out of those two.
Alex is a great reviewer, but this time he seemed influenced by his preference of the looks of the Ford (and I am sure most poeple would prefer the Kona looks wise).
No. The twin clutch tyranny comes only with the 1.6 turbo from what I know.
Ur opinion sir. Hyundai & KIA..same Co..are considered a subpar automaker (by most). Uve been convinced they on par w/American & Japanese competitors. Not so. Enjoy but watch the oil burning issues & crash test inferiority. Fire issues too.. beware.
U seem be selling the Hyundai. Most of us are real buyers & comments dont influence buying decisions. It's opinions!! What's ur dog in the race??
I originally thought I'd prefer the Kona but the Kona's interior felt way cheaper than the ecosport. I get the on paper comparison, but the Kona just didn't feel great on the interior
Love my Ecosport!
Here in Toronto, city roads are worst then rural. Also 3' for street parking can make all the difference. Turbo power for city driving is poor.
Update. I bought the 2021 Kona to replace my 2008 Rav4. Luxury trim has leather seats and a responsive 2.0L which doesn't need to be revved to merge onto the highway. Also, Hyundai's NA engine can be driven smartly to get better than normal city millage.
The back door, I DO NOT LIKE on the Eco Sport.... BUT, at my age, I do not want a faster car, I want one that I can get from point A to point B and feel SAFE... Living in FL, with so many trucks on hwy 27, I want to sit up higher... Besides, to hard for me to get in and out of a low car with my back problems... I have a 2005 Mercury Mariner which I love... As you can see, it is under 36,000 miles!! No, I do not drive much.... No traveling... It's never been out of state.... Gas mileage sucks so anything better will be great... I do not rear camera, or blind spot warnings and now that is a must with arthritis in my neck this past year.... So many great buys right now at a dealer that I won't mention as they only have 5, 2018 with under 20,000 mi. !!! I figure this will be my last car at age 70.... Besides, we have been FORD PEOPLE for so long! My Dad was even named after Edsel Ford!! Yes, he got the Edsel when it came out and traded in a year..... He never kept a car longer than 3 yrs and after he retired from the FORD CENTRAL OFFICE building in Dearborn< MI and moved to FL, seems he was buying a new Ford Every Year just for the heck of it.... He really hated the Bronco!! Loved the review!! Get job....
How much the startin price for each one
wait till the hatch struts leak out fluid and the door comes down and bangs you on the head
I don't get why they feel the need to put a sun roof on a 20k vehicle, it'll weight you down and in the long run, you'll have spend more money on maintaining.
Hiếu Tô...why even put a roof at all? Save money and pack an umbrella. Prolly get better mpg too.
LMAO the size categories
You got to love the word Delta I know that I do “Delta”
Do you still like it? 🤣🤣🤣
Either door or hatch is fine, but give me my separate glass back.
I love ford ecosport is good
Parked next to a Kona just yesterday (first one I've seen in person) and it was a handsome car. It was dark grey so all that plastic cladding on the sides blended in better so it wasn't so obvious.
How does the 1.0L turbo engine gets you worse fuel economy than the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with higher HP?
It's too small, and has to work too hard.
In my world, the Kona wins! Remember what F-O-R-D means...
BTW still using the GH5 for your productions, if so what color mode are you using...it looks quite good!
denault3985 I learned that H-Y-U-N-D-A-I "Hope You Understand Nothing's Driveable And Inexpensive"
I love these car acronyms 😂
Hatch is better. They just need the hatch to open more for taller people.
It's really boggling to think my Corolla XSE is longer than every vehicle on the size scale in this video. I realize it is a different segment, but it's weird to think sedans are still more spacious than these.
I prefer the door, but I’m 6’6”.
I personally find the proportions of the Kona to look rather tasteful, honestly more tasteful than the EcoSport... The EcoSport seems to be too narrow and too upright for my liking.
Nevertheless, great Comparison Review! I totally need to do another side-by-side review. Keep it up, Alex!
If you had the SES Ecosport, the Hyundai would not hang with it . Just saying.
Theres no way I’m going Hyundai/Kia. I wanted a vehicle that would last so i got the Ford.
ThRs funny lol
17:47 Said the FORD will give you a better deal on the KONA
🤔
Ford ecosport is actually good! Got 2020 4wd. Fun car . Hated it at first but its awesome
I much prefer the look of the Kona. Ford looks old
The Apparent and Engine of Kona totally beat the Ecosport!
I am weighing all the small SUVs .. I think I would have picked the EcoSport , but the swing door is a deal breaker .. just absolutely hate it .. no sale.
Also, YAY for lower mounted headlights that do not blind drivers oncoming or in front of you, unlike lights on almost every pick up. On the downside, what is with all the ugly plastic cladding? I kno many are doing this but i find it supremely unattractive
Yall can stop talking abut the ecosport i own one
Edward lindsay Just got a 19 titanium 2.0 had a 13 escape and didn’t need the size anymore
