Small in Size but Big in Personality – See What Sets the Ford EcoSport Apart from the Competition

Shopping for a small SUV in the Winneconne, WI area can lead you to a vast array of options. But at Klein Ford, we think you'd be hard-pressed to find any small SUV that offers the same high level of materials and style that the Ford EcoSport comes with standard.

A five-passenger, four-door model, the Ford EcoSport is the smallest SUV that we carry. It has a lot to offer, but we understand if there are other, similarly sized options that are competing for your attention. To illustrate what sets it apart from those other SUVs, we've compared it side by side with a new subcompact from the Hyundai line, the Venue. Read on to learn more about how these two models compare and more about how the Ford EcoSport leaves the Venue in the dust.

Ford EcoSport Subcompact SUV vs. Hyundai Venue SUV

While both the EcoSport and the new Hyundai Venue offer an easy-to-drive size and a compact frame that make them a breeze to park in tiny spots or crowded lots, the Ford model outshines the competition in several key areas. From power to interior space, we've got your inside scoop on why the Ford EcoSport should be at the top of your must-see list.

Power and Performance

With a more-powerful engine under the hood and a higher performance output, the Ford EcoSport offers a better ride for Shawano, WI drivers than the Hyundai Venue. Every trim level in the EcoSport lineup produces 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque from a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Venue produces a standard 121 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque from its sole powerplant, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine.

All-Wheel Drive

From New London, WI to Winneconne, WI, drivers trust all-wheel drive on their vehicles for when weather or road conditions are wet and slippery. With the Ford EcoSport, all-wheel drive is a standard feature, as well as the added traction and the peace of mind that come with it. Comparatively, the Hyundai Venue has standard front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive isn't even available as an optional add-on for drivers who are looking for it.

Cargo Space

Hauling groceries home or hitting the links with a full bag of clubs are both easy tasks with the Ford EcoSport by your side. Although small in stature, our impressive SUV has up to 20.9 cubic feet of cargo space available behind the back row of seats. Plus, the second row folds to allow for even greater amounts of cargo. The Hyundai Venue, on the other hand, is a smaller model with less cargo space than the Ford offers. It also has a folding rear seat, but even with the backseat folded it doesn't offer the same amount of space.

Passenger Space

Once again, the Ford EcoSport may be small, but it is surprisingly spacious and accommodating on the inside. With greater amounts of headroom and legroom than the Hyundai Venue, our subcompact is comfortable for drivers and passengers alike, regardless of whether they're sitting in the front or the backseat.
