Our pick would be the SES trim. The SES trim, at a difference of $6000 from the base S trim (AWD) offers a lot of worthy upgrades such as a bigger 8-inch touchscreen display, partial leather upholstery, silver-painted roof rack side rails, and a number of driver-assistance features. However, look for the 2021 Honda HR-V for better practicality and the 2021 Mazda CX-3 for premium interiors. 

"Far from quick, the Ecosport’s better around town at city speeds".- The Car Connection

The 2021 Ford EcoSport's powertrain remains unchanged. The standard powertrain comes in the form of a petite 1.0L EcoBoost 3-cylinder engine that belts out 123 horsepower @ 6000 rpm and a peak torque of 125 lb-ft. @ 3500 rpm. This powertrain feels deficient in terms of grunt. 

The second powertrain option in the 2021 Ford EcoSport is a 2.0L 4-pot that’s good for a much better 166 hp and a peak torque of 149 lb.-ft. Transmission duties for both engines are performed by a 6-speed automatic transmission. The transmission setup routes all the power to the front wheels of the EcoSport unless you choose the optional AWD drivetrain. 

The Ford Ecosport, in its base avatar, with a 1.0L 3-cylinder engine, takes 11.4 seconds in order to sprint from 0-60 mph. Swap this 1.0L engine with the more powerful 2.0L 4-pot and the Ecosport can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 10.4 seconds. With this engine, the Ecosport clocks the quarter of a mile lap in 16.5 seconds.

With a 0-60 acceleration time of 8.2 seconds, the Mazda CX-3 is the hyperactive one here. The Ford EcoSport, with its 2L engine, ranks second, followed by the Mazda CX-3 that tucks 148 ponies. The Chevrolet Trax ranks last here with 138 ponies available on tap. Speaking of the power figures, the 2021 Honda HR-V takes the lead here pushing out 170 horsepower.
