The 2020 Ford Ecosport is not particularly good value, not particularly efficient, and not particularly good.

Pros
City-friendly size
Spacious enough interior
Back seat head room
Upmarket stereo available

Cons
Sluggish acceleration
So-so fuel economy
Poor safety scores
Bargain-bin interior trim

The MG ZS EV offers a lot for the money in the electric car world, with good interior space, a big boot and plenty of standard equipment. The thing to remember, though, is that more expensive electric cars, such as the Nissan Leaf and Kia e-Niro, are generally better to drive and, thanks to better resale values, might not cost you that much more in the long run.

Pros
Lot of room for passengers
Big boot
Well equipped

Cos
Poor predicted resale values
Limited steering wheel adjustment
Not that comfortable or good to drive

By:

Cos

No companion app

By:

Practicality unaffected by EV conversion

CONS
Less range than key rivals
It’s not quite as cheap as we had hoped
Low-rent interior
Not exciting to drive
