Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford EcoSport offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mazda CX-30, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford EcoSport will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-30.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford EcoSport as you will with the Mazda CX-30, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford EcoSport will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mazda CX-30.

Dimensions
The Ford EcoSport is a little narrower than the Mazda CX-30, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Ford EcoSport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mazda CX-30.

Handling
The Ford EcoSport has the same turning radius as the Mazda CX-30, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Ford EcoSport has a little less horsepower than the Mazda CX-30.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Ford EcoSport doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mazda CX-30.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford EcoSport and the Mazda CX-30. The Ford EcoSport has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mazda CX-30.
