Mahindra TUV300 vs Ford EcoSport - Comparison Review | MotorBeam

[@danendrabhat]

A person looking for mini SUV will have these requirements in his mind. 1) It should cover bad roads or village roads comfortably. 2) It should comfortably cruise on highway at around 80-110 km/h. 3) It should comfortably carry 5 people with their luggage. 4) Build quality should be tough enough to withstand Indian roads. Review here is not good. It is covering those aspects which SUV buyers are not looking for. I mean who is going to buy SUV for speed? Instead won't i go and buy polo GT or linea Tjet? I have Liva with me. When i went to see Eco Sport. it's a total disappointment. Back seat in Liva (Hatchback) can accommodate 3 people but the same 3 people can not seat comfortably in eco sport. What is the point in upgrading from hatchback to mini suv when i am getting space less than hatchback? On long journey with family this space matters and not the top speed. On the other hand TUV offers great space. It has great build quality.

[@studrawker]

Yes TUV300 reminds me same as great space and shape as i was used to take Tiffin Box in my school :p .. Beside Ford campaign Ecosport as Urban SUV and passed with 4 stars in Crashing Test *safety & accident.

[@danendrabhat]

studrawker Ford Figo got zero rating... So does that mean all ford vehicle will be unsafe? You might say Range Rover as tiffin box... but globally all SUV lovers love that vehicle.. Ecosport is just a hatchback with more ground clearance... it's nothing more than that... You can be happy with that vehicle as it gives you a chance to go over potholes without scrapping underbody... But SUV is meant to go where roads are not exists... so lot of stress on chasis will be there... take ecosport over there and you will find door misaligned... Now regarding crash... Just take a look at this and you will know how safe you are... www.team-bhp.com/forum/street-experiences/109249-pics-accidents-india-989.html

[@studrawker]

Man, where are you leading this conversation. Range Rover ? indeed out of this Segment and League. It has different market and truly amazing in Global SUV segments. I am sorry but i am not a Highway truck driver. My job is to pass over through daily roads with Heavy Traffic and numbers of red light inside the City. Cars so called SUV does not mean it has everything what we need for daily purpose. Yes, if you want compatible SUV for Indian highways/village/small town then Mahindra Xuv 500 is far better than Mahindra TUV300. About crashing, The Ford Figo did manage to pass the UN test. Beside i do not know which evidence were you trying to show, Please read what are they actually discussing about and then post any link. i have n numbers of pictures of crashing Mahindra SUVs as well but they are not matter of discussion here. You should practically check and Test yourself and then we will talk about features between TUV 300 and Ecosport.

[@tvssarma]

That' what who never drove the ecosport say.

[@danendrabhat]

You mentioned about shape of TUV.. so i just reminded that range rover also have same tiffin box look... I am also making a same point... for city/highway use ford ecosport is good... but don't call it as SUV... Accept the fact that it is not SUV... it's just a marketing gimmick for Indians... Indian Ford figo safety rating you will find in google, youtube... just search for it.. I have driven ford ecosport TUV, XUV, Safari and many more... and i know how they rides... There is no doubt that ecosport will outrun all other in 0-100 run... but then many hatchback can do that... Just take ecosport off the road with all these other vehicle then you will understand what difference they have in their engine and chassis... In India automobile company fit same engine to all their vehicle of different categories(shape) and people buy that... Avanger get engine of pulsar and company launch it as cruiser... nobody knows how cruiser engine feels so everybody just buy that because it LOOKS like cruiser... I know avenger owner who compare it with Harley or Thunderbird... by saying hey look at the Speed and refinement and blah blah blah... Ecosport is a good vehicle... it serves practical purpose of people in city... But is it a SUV?? If Avenger is a cruiser then Yes...

[@futureworld2264]

[@immanuel2617]

Ecosport is the best.. Please drive and speak

[@siangetz8808]

I can understand most of the people's complaints in the comments section below, but seriously anyone who thinks the TUV is an off-road vehicle is mistaken. It is not. If you want a real off-roader, buy the Hexa or the XUV. Having driven both, I can safely say that the EcoSport is safer, and drives better. I found the highway stability to be better, and the steering feel and feedback is much better. The features on offer on the updated EcoSport pretty much makes it eclipse the TUV in terms of features. Also, the interior fit and finish is way better than the TUV. The reality is nobody is going to take the TUV off-road, they have the bolero for people who can't afford the XUV or the Scorpio, so the only thing that matters is the driving dynamics and the safety on offer, both of which are better in the EcoSport.

[@Safeer2.0]

I've driven both these cars. Personally I would rate TUV over the EcoSport. Below are my observations: Comparing these two, the visibility, head room and commanding seating position of TUV is excellent. EcoSport has better seats and quality of interior is better. Still seat cushioning and support can be improved according to your taste from any good upholstery shop. EcoSport has more punch in driving but TUV isn't that bad either, just a step behind. Second row is a practical 3 seater unlike ecopsort which appears cramped for three grown adults. Last two seats in TUV is ideal for kids and for emergency accommodation. Not suitable for long drives for taller adults. It's still a plus for TUV, as EcoSport really misses that extra space utilisation in times of need. Coming to the exterior it's obviously a personal choice. I love raw boxy designs and not a fan of fancy styling. I think modifying the front with round headlights and reworking the grill could give a much better appeal, like the suzuki jimny.

[@eriktenhag2022]

I dont get tuv fans bashing the ecosport, saying it will not fare well on rural roads It's not like the tuv has 4wd or even awd If i wanted a tough reliable suv that can tackle rough roads, i would take the duster anyday Extraordinary ride quality and awd for that tough conditions

[@bhartiye_]

review is biased....tuv300 is better than ecosport

[@ArunMuralidhar]

@motorbeam agree to most of your views. as a blind car to car comparison it is fair. but both were built with different market in mind. ecosport, has the finish and refinement a city car would need. it would say it is a small C-RV (honda really named it city recreational vehicle) but in India called an SUV or soft roader. but once the car to car comparison is replaced by purpose, both Ecosport and TUV falls short by your own standards. ecosport is happy in city traffic and some country side. TUV instead is happy in full country side and some city use. the review sounded more like picking up the positives of ecosport and not looking at the positives of tuv. I dont see both as real offroaders without 4w drive. but TUV has the rear wheel advantage. The landscape you showed, in and around mumbai, ecosport is fine. But take it to more undulating landscapes like flat rocks of karjat or even soft sugar fields of pune, you will find TUV doing much much better I found TUV more airy and comfortable. As i am used to Mahindra (imagine the horror of migrating from honda to mahindra), the rattle n stuff isnt much an issue. In towns and country sides, Mahindra excels with its heavy and tough body. the ecosport exterior literally falls apart on hitting a small rock. Moreover, cost of ownership should be considered, atleast over the next 3 yrs, when doing reviews Its indeed sad that TUV attempted to cramp in 7 but then that too helps in rest of India. I wish it had a more high end punch too but then in the purpose area that TUV is looking at, low end matters. Maybe Mahindra should shrink the XUV 500 and that will be the one which can beat the Duster. (one non mahindra that can really remain in countryside for ever)

[@MotorBeam]

+Arun Muralidhar you have a point but trust us, no one buys these cars to go off the road, if you want to, there are other options like the Thar, Safari and Duster AWD. XUV500 is a front-wheel drive so a mini XUV will be a monocoque, losing out on the rear-wheel drive ruggedness.

[@ArunMuralidhar]

MotorBeam thanks for the reply. never expected one. true that ecosports /dusters never leave the road other to park. mahindra but has customers who are primarily utility oriented. I m not saying full dunes or mud n slush. But like out here, its Bolero and thar di that does the job. rubber estates n stuff. But i am also disappointed about their attempt to do 7 seats and i think that is one reason why the height had to be increased for leg room

[@TheVishal1996]

tuv serves you 187nm of torque from as low as 1100rpm,in an suv u need pulling power(torque) and not horse power entirely, moreover tuv is a rear wheel drive and a ladder on frame chassis which makes it a proper suv unlike ecosport which i would call a crossover,no one is going to drive it in a drag race,known thing is that mhawk engines are gems like in the scorpio and xuv500

[@narendrairengbam112]

Pros of ecosports = 1. Better handling (less body roll) 2. High end performance (top speed) Pros of TUV300 = 1. Tough body, 2. Tall SUV stance, 3. Spacious cabin 4. Better interior with dual tone color and well fit and finish consoles. 5. Low end torque (punchy engine at low speed) 6. 7 seater 7. Better ride quality (great suspension) 8. Better road presence. People buy compact suv like creta duster for their SUVish looks, no one cares about the off roading capability. The looks is what matter for people looking for suv type vehicle. Looking for a compact SUV and buying ecosport doesn't make any sense. Creta, terrano, duster, tuv300 should be the lost price wise and they are comparable. Its the looks and presence that matter.

[@MotorBeam]

And that's why the EcoSport is selling well.

[@VinodDhavle]

M surprised calling Ecosport as SUV, it is premium hatchback. It is smaller than WaganR. Adding spare wheel on back door does not make SUV

+Vinod Dhavle it's an SUV and a 4-wheel drive version is also sold abroad.

Vishal, ladder frame only adds to the weight and isn't needed for an urban SUV. The TUV might have good low-end performance but lacks highway punch.

[@RedLoveShow]

+MotorBeam What is the top speed you were ever able to achieve in an Indian highway? 140 max not more than that. And i think this car can do 140 at a relaxed pace. You are not buying a Race car dude you are buying a SUV no one buys a Bus thinking it's a plane. -_-

But there is a huge turbo lag on the lower gears and the suspension is very stiff. As for the TUV I think it's a great looking car really tough.

[@adityaraman9484]

both these vehicles are in an entirely different league. the final decision should have been left with the viewers and not made judgemental. this isn't good attitude. the new launched TUV mHawk100 does have more power and torque so its definitely going to be closer to the Ecosport in terms of performance. but then slug of a couple of seconds to a more spacious, airy and roomier cabin alongwith the road presence and sturdy built is a trade off everyone can live with. And anyways while travelling with family you should drive saFEly and keep the adrenaline rush under control, for that reason, i think the TUV makes a better sense. If you really wanna quench you adrenaline thirst, look to the punto Abarth, its one hell of a machine too...!!!

[@incorrect2550]

These Guys have Biased opinion about Indian companies....No doubt they are lobbying for these American cars. While Buying a Car there are many other things to be looked. 1) Mahindra has much better service network then Ford and spare parts are economical too. 2) TUV Cost a Lakh Rupees less then Ford. 3) Technology-wise TUV is better and it has a refreshing design compared to typical looks of a Ford. 4) Breaking, acceleration parameters are not justified because it depends on User handling and his capabilities.May be the video was biased towards TUV parameters. To Sum Up, One cannot trust these guys reviews. Few days back someone Dumped TATA Zest for Suzuki Swift DEzire just because Suzki has better service network then TATA.

[@MotorBeam]

+sanjay singh looks like you haven't driven the EcoSport. Same person was driving both the cars so there is no difference in the capabilities of the user that the EcoSport will fare better and the TUV won't.

[@JasminderSinghRR]

dear m team.. i would like to share from yourself after sales problems of vehicles like tuv mahindra or from ford eco sport... which brand has more problems..

[@azharmuhammad3884]

The new variant of TUV 300 MHAWK100 motor is now quicker then the ecosport 😀 It looks more aggressive itz more stronger Itz good in offloading then the Ecosport. Will buy a TUV very soon 😊

[@sauravverma]

7 SEATS, MAHINDRA wins !!

[@MotorBeam]

With your logic, Tempo Traveller is the best.

[@sauravverma]

I didn't expect a trolled reply from such big channel, anyways.I will give you answer for that,Bcz I understand you didn't think twice before writing. Yes Tempo Traveller is good, but that is not a car & not practical at all.Car is a status symbol which tampo traveller is not. Everyone has different use of all the products they buy. Even tampo is very good if it ever fulfills the need of status symbol or premiumness. In the other countries people don't buy basic car for status symbol but for the practical use & now they also get premiumness from some manufacturers like GM. That is the only reason why mini trucks are the most sold vehicle in the USA & yes that is too a kind of Tempo traveller but with carriage for transferring home & normal needs. In India most of the people have bigger families, that makes 7 seaters more popular than such streched up Hatchbacks !! If you would ever understand that people have different use & point of view, you will never reply in such rude & trolled reply.EVER. Be polite Be good !!

[@sauravverma]

Mb if u are replying like this to your viewer gonna never watch ur channel.....scrap u r...

[@vishwanathd8455]

Nice review.. I have driven both the cars and here is my opinion. Both the cars are best in their own characteristics it's up to you which one serves your purpose.For urban ford ecosport is the best and for rural there is no doubt TUV is the king among two. I have tested both the cars driving offroad at my hometown which is rural part of Karnataka and hilly region. Trust me you will find it easier to climb on bad roads in TUV without much effort because of its lower end torque and it really handles better than ecosport. There is a feel of suv inside the TUV when you drive offroad. Though you can't expect the offroad capabilities like bolero it still do the justice for "compact SUV" when you drive offroad. On the road it cant beat eco sport in performance

[@MotorBeam]

+vishwanath dvs this review was from an urban standpoint.

[@dhdo5530]

Butt hurt mahindra fans saying that compare them offroad... Does the TUV have low range,4x4 or lockable diffs? Only Mahindra niggles and rural fan base.

[@Torque_India]

tuv 300 seems more like a product for rural or tier 2 ,tier 3 cities & ecosport is truly an urban (tier 1 cities )cruiser , though both are sub 4m utility vehicles ,they are aimed at 2 different set of customers. liked the way the shoot out is Carried out! though it had some problem in hearing the anchor at times.

[@mihir855]

I think the review is quite fair. Please dont forget that Mahindra is asking to pay 8-11 lacs rs for their 3 cylinder TUV 300. I think that it might be first so called SUV with 3 cylinder engine. If you are blaming these vehicles thats because they dont offer SUV- like features, then i suggest to go for Toyota Fortuner , Ford Everest , ETC.Paying a budget price and expecting features of 25 lc is definitely not going to happen. Keep it Up..NICE REVIEW :)

[@MotorBeam]

+Mihir K thanks for the kind words!

[@wanderingsoul5381]

I am trekker and was looking for off road car which I searched and for comparison I checked your video before getting doubt clear, I have Sat in both the car and the shaky and bumpy which u described in tuv is completely wrong, it is best for off road and also on d highway, mahindra is known to make robust cars for off roads and you missed a very important specs of off road also in comparison apart from the 6 airbags (for the top variant model) ecosport is very congested car compared to tuv, it was indeed a one sided review supporting Ford ecosport...there shud be neutral reviews for any product to be promoted.. Experts may put your thoughts and comments.. Thank you!!

[@visualtreathd1535]

The way I see it, i would rather buy an alto 800, than go for the eco sport. even a alto can take more abuse than the eco sport without even breaking a sweat.

[@manju2301]

the choice is between an overgrown cramped overpriced car vs TUV which makes a lot of sense.

[@MotorBeam]

+Saanvi M and in what way is the EcoSport overgrown?

[@RedLoveShow]

+MotorBeam every way. The styling was done in Australia for the front end and do you know what they say about this car? It's an attempt of giving an SUV out of fords Aspire. But TUV might have some refinement issues but it's a big bold car that provides very good riding comfort on out road.

[@MotorBeam]

+Red Love Show TUV's design is copied from Jeep and Land Rover vehicles.

[@RedLoveShow]

MotorBeam What about TATA Safari Storme. I understand that TUV is not the best but it certainly isn't the worse.

[@manju2301]

+MotorBeam there is one in our family, it's quite cramped and rides like an entry level hatch. paying close to 12 big ones for that ford is plain stupid.

[@abhisheksinghthakur5]

what about AMT performances nice review @motorbeam

[@MotorBeam]

+Abhishek Singh thanks. AMT is yet to be driven.

[@samuelgeorge5540]

[@yzfr15ful]

the video didn't talk about off road capabilities something which tuv excels in... also in the roll ons tuv was faster till 2800..2900 rpm in any gear due to and lost only in the final 3k range which shows its great low ..mid range... shud have covered these points for a better judgment... still very nice review.. i am just trying to be a critic.. :)

[@MotorBeam]

+shashank kumar haha. These cars are not meant to go off-road, they are for on-road driving. The TUV's low range is good but around 3000 RPM, it really lacks punch.

[@sssethi5148]

+MotorBeam ....tuv...is quite an off roader ....

[@navjotsingh9795]

+MotorBeam Actually TUV is meant to be an off roader.

[@pulkittyagi1990]

+MotorBeam while you are right that few people will take them off road but large amount of TUV will be sold in B and c towns and off road capabilities will matter there .

TUV is not a sports car. PATHETIC COMPARISON. Ecosports is nothing in front of tuv. TUV is not known for its speed..duh! Its known for its TOUGHNESS. TUV : TOUGH Utility Vehicle. TUV is the BOSS.

[@MotorBeam]

+Mohd Tabish of course, if you say so, TUV is better than the Land Rover Defender too.

[@MohdTabish916]

+MotorBeam You are biased.

[@praneethchandra1699]

+MotorBeam So is Ford Ecosport, too? haha

[@MohdTabish916]

Praneeth Chandra Guys, please stop being biased and read this with a healthy mind. When we compare TUV and EcoSport in Toughness, TUV is the winnner. When we compare TUV and EcoSport in SPEED, ECOSPORT is the winnner. You cant compare a BATTLE TANK (TUV) with a RACE CAR (ECO-SPORT). Both are completely different from each other.

[@MohdTabish916]

Praneeth Chandra TUV is made of toughened high-strength steel body shell for all-round impact protection. It's built strong like a TANK and looks like one too.

[@studyzone7514]

Why don't you compare TUV300 with Bolero since both comes in the same price range? I'm confused to choose between the two.

[@MotorBeam]

The TUV300 is a better choice, any day.

[@studyzone7514]

coz of the added safety features? But, by life and durability? TUV300's engines is around 20kgs less than that of the Quanto and hence would impact on life of engine.

[@utkarshjoshi7137]

More wise and value for money would be a honda sedan or hatchback.Safety and petrol engine, as you have driven a petrol car.Ecosport is a very nice crossover but i think it a little overrated and a bit pricy car for what it offers.value for money would Absolutely a Honda and if you are going for diesel then Tuv300 is a very better choice, a very driver friendly car and ansolute value for money, very roughed and tough.

[@sajipillai5070]

This review is biased I think EcoSport is an overpriced fat car not an SUV. I check for the Auto transmission and it is price 13 lacs on road in Chennai. Does not make sense the same goes for other compact SUV's like Duster etc. I would rather pay another lac and buy a XUV 500 or Scorpio with more power 2.2 then some big car with small engine 1.5/1.6 same goes for Creta 18 lac for automatic Hyundai must be joking for that cost to get a 5 seater 1.6 engine

+saji pillai bigger engine doesn't always mean better performance.

The autoshift NOT AUTOMATIC is not good for slopes. It is powerful, but has an issue of rolling even if the vehicle is in gear. Eg: If you are steadily going up a slope, in between the clutch goes of and the car would roll backwards. The same happens in reverse gear. Wouldnt recommend the autoshift for roads with slope. The manual one should be good

[@againstevil5101]

Most guys here are throwing their personal opinion at people. Design and looks are a personal matter, while these guys are judging on behalf of everyone else and calling the Eco Sport as better looking, while to me, it looks like a cross breed shit, an exaggerated hatchback, with weird shape.
