2023 Ford EcoSport vs. 2023 Nissan Juke

The Ford EcoSport is a great little car that's packed with features. It's also the perfect size for city driving, but taking it off-road can be a little disappointing. On the other hand, the Nissan Juke has been engineered to handle rough terrain and rugged roads. So which of these cars is better as an everyday commuter vehicle? Let's take a closer look:

Design & Style

Exterior Design

The 2023 Ford EcoSport features a sleek, modern design with sharp lines and LED headlights. The large grille is surrounded by chrome accents that add an element of elegance to this compact SUV. In comparison, the 2023 Nissan Juke has a more athletic appearance with its sloped roofline and muscular fender flares that give it an athletic look not found in other vehicles in its class. Both cars come standard with 18-inch alloy wheels; however, you can upgrade to 19-inch or 20-inch wheels if desired.

Interior Design

The interior of the 2023 Ford EcoSport is simple and clean. The layout is intuitive, with controls easy to reach and understand. There are two main displays: one in front of the driver and one between them and their passenger. Both are touchscreen displays that can be used for navigation, entertainment, or even climate control (if you're willing to get out of your seat). The center console has storage compartments for small items such as pens or phones-but not much else-and there are cup holders for both passengers side by side at the back edge of each door panel when they're closed; however, these aren't large enough if you want more than just water bottles inside them.

Technology & Safety

When it comes to technology, the 2023 Ford EcoSport has you covered. It offers features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that allow you to connect your smartphone with the car's infotainment system. You can also access Alexa from the steering wheel, making it easier than ever for drivers who want hands-free access to their favorite music services or podcasts while on the road. The Nissan Juke doesn't offer any similar functionality--it doesn't even come with built-in speakers!

There are some significant safety advantages as well. Both vehicles have been crash tested by NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), but only one earned five stars overall in this tests-and, that was the Ford EcoSport!

Performance

The 2023 Ford EcoSport is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque. The standard transmission is a six-speed automatic, but an optional six-speed manual can also be had.

The 2023 Nissan Juke comes with a 1.6-liter turbocharged I4 engine making 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque at its disposal; it also features front-wheel drive and a CVT automatic transmission as standard equipment.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a small SUV that's fun to drive and can haul your gear, the 2023 Ford EcoSport is the clear winner. It has better performance, more power than you'll get in the Nissan Juke, and a more spacious interior and more comfortable ride. The EcoSport also comes with many additional features standard-including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility-while its competitor only offers them as options at an extra cost.
