Learn How the 2017 Ford Escape Out-Performs its Domestic Rival

If you're tired with having to search the greater Chicago area for a worthwhile SUV that isn't afraid to prove its worth to any competitors, you can't go wrong with choosing an all-new Ford Escape. If you're a first-time owner or are familiar with the Escape, this latest iteration continues to build upon the foundations that have catapulted this crossover SUV to such impressive success. Our staff at Fox Ford Lincoln has come to learn a lot about how the Escape stacks up to other models, including the Chevrolet Equinox, and the amount of success that it achieves makes it an outstanding option for both new drivers and families.

Ford Escape vs Chevrolet Equinox:

• Any driver's first impression lies with the starting price, and while the Ford Escape just barely edges out the Chevrolet Equinox in MSRP across every trim level, it also adds more features than the Equinox does. The Escape SE trim comes in a paltry $410 cheaper than the Equinox's equivalent LS trim, but the former adds keyless entry, powered driver's seat, an upgraded engine and satellite radio; the Equinox only adds satellite radio.
• In spite of the Chevrolet Equinox's available V6 engine offering more horsepower than the Escape's 240-horsepower, 2.0-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder powertrain, Ford is still able to offer a satisfying drive that expert reviewers believe performs better than the Equinox.
• A big way that our customers build trust and confidence in their vehicle is through its safety capabilities, which the Escape has no problem catering to. With a 5-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and good to great scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Escape is capable of being a top-choice IIHS Top Safety Pick. On the other hand, the Equinox offers a less consistent safety performance, thanks to a mix of 4- and 5-star scores from the NHTSA
• While taller passengers will appreciate the extra head and shoulder room of the Equinox, drivers and passengers alike will love the comfortable edge that the Escape has on its rival. With plenty of space to relax or use for any needs you may have, including an extra 5.3 cubic feet of cargo volume, the Escape is better prepared for any and all utilities you may need covered by your SUV.
