Ford EcoSport:

The Ford EcoSport is a sub-4 metre SUV that boasts of refreshing looks. On its front, the imposing, high-mounted front hexagonal grille coupled with great aerodynamics is amazing to look at. At its rear, it has a wrapped-around windshield. Its spare-wheel is mounted on the tailgate. With an impressive 200 mm ground clearance, the EcoSport dares to undertake all potholes and speed breakers. From inside, it looks a bit like the Fiesta. Though Ford is known for its solid interiors but these are just average in the EcoSport. Yet it is spacious. Its front seats are good on comfort, but the rear ones lag on it.

Mahindra Quanto (Discontinued):

On the other hand, Mahindra Quanto is a traditional multi-utility vehicle. Precisely it is the compressed version of the Xylo. Its boxy looks might not be fascinating to the onlooker but where it gains maximum marks is the space. It also has its spare wheel mounted on the tailgate. Following the same 2769mm wheelbase of Xylo, the Quanto has a spacious cabin. Though it is a seven seater, the seats are too upright to offer any comfort.

The EcoSport is efficient when you are driving in the city, but it starts doing huff and puff when you get on the highways or in the hills. But this must not a setback as Ford has always claimed it an urban SUV which is meant for city driving. Its ‘Pull Drift Compensation’ technology adjusts according to the steering wheel to changing road conditions and prevents the driver from letting the car to drift. Its suspension enables to take the corners easily without compromising on the ride quality.
