2021 HR-V Backup Camera

If you’ve recently decided that a subcompact SUV is the right type of vehicle for your lifestyle, then there’s a strong possibility that the 2021 Honda HR-V is on your shortlist of contenders. Boasting a spacious cabin, reliable safety features, and efficient capabilities, this ride is ready to take the world by storm! To help you feel confident about making it yours, Honda of Chantilly is here to explain how it compares to the 2021 Ford EcoSport.

Safety

We’ll begin by determining whether the 2021 HR-V or 2021 EcoSport is the safer set of wheels. Although they do share several similar systems, you’ll soon find that the former includes a few features that you won’t find on the Ford. For instance, the Honda’s standard Multi-Angle Rearview Camera1 is available with dynamic guidelines, which help you see which direction your SUV is moving in to prevent any mishaps. Meanwhile, once you’re out on the interstate, you’ll continue to be supported by innovations like the optional Road Departure Mitigation System2. When this detects that you’re at risk of veering over the lines and off the pavement, it applies both braking power and steering torque to ensure that you stay on course. Clearly, the HR-V has your back in a number of scenarios.

Comfort & Space

When perusing the market for a small SUV, it pays to go with a model that doesn’t lack sufficient cabin space. Thankfully, if you end up choosing the 2021 Honda HR-V, you likely won’t have to deal with a cramped, uncomfortable ride! First, consider treating yourself to the optional 8-way power driver’s seat for enhanced customization behind the wheel. If you end up with the 2021 Ford EcoSport, you’ll only have a 6-way power chair as an available upgrade. To make matters worse, guests in the back row of this model might feel cramped in its 36.7 inches of legroom, especially in comparison to the Honda’s 39.3 inches of second-row legroom. Finally, the HR-V even has more space for items, offering 58.8 cubic ft. of maximum storage volume3 compared to the EcoSport’s 50.0 cubic ft. of total cargo area4.

Performance

Of course, we couldn’t forget to line up the Honda HR-V and Ford EcoSport to determine which offers more exceptional capabilities out on Lee Highway. In the case of the former, your morning drives will be powered by a 1.8L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine that delivers 141-hp5 and 127 lb.-ft. of torque6 without complaint. Meanwhile, the Ford and its standard 1.0L EcoBoost® powertrain might not feel as vibrant, due to its somewhat less thrilling 123-hp and 125 lb.-ft. of torque. However, despite the fact that the Honda is more robust, it’s also the more efficient of the two, achieving 28/34 MPG city/hwy7 with 2WD. To compare, the EcoSport doesn’t quite measure up with its fuel economy rating of 27/29 MPG city/hwy8 when similarly equipped.

Honda of Chantilly is certain you’ll agree with us that the HR-V is the better SUV between the 2021 Honda HR-V vs 2021 Ford EcoSport near Fairfax, VA. So, if you’re ready to experience its virtues for yourself, drop by our location for a test drive at your earliest convenience!

1. Always visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up; the rearview camera display does not provide complete information about all conditions and objects at the rear of your vehicle.

2. Road Departure Mitigation only alerts drivers when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in use and can apply mild steering torque to assist driver in maintaining proper lane position and/or brake pressure to slow the vehicle's departure from a detected lane. RDM may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and road condition. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.

3. Based on SAE J1100 cargo volume measurement standard plus, where applicable, floor space between seating rows and seats in their forward-most and upright position.

4. Cargo and cargo capacity limited by weight and weight distribution.  

5. 141 @ 6500 rpm (SAE net).

6. 127 lb-ft @ 4300 rpm (SAE net)
