2018 Ford Escape vs. 2018 Chevrolet Equinox

Comparing 2018 Ford Escape vs. 2018 Chevrolet Equinox is a lot easier than it might seem. Though they’re both in the same class, only the Ford crossover can offer:

• Curve Control and Torque Vectoring Control
• Up to 68 Cubic Feet of Cargo Space
• Up to 43.1 Inches of Front Legroom
• 5-Star Overall NHTSA Safety Rating
• Available Adaptive Cruise Control

Ford vs. Chevy Crossover Performance

Both the Ford and the Chevy offer a standard four-cylinder engine and an available turbocharged four-cylinder, and yet the Ford still feels more responsive. That might be because it offers:

• Curve Control and Torque Vectoring Control: Uses anti-lock braking, throttle reduction, and torque transfer to improve cornering ability.
• AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control: Uses two gyroscopic sensors to monitor yaw and roll rates and detect and correct understeer, oversteer, or motion roll.

Ford Crossover vs. Chevy Crossover Dimensions

The Ford Escape is a crossover SUV that offers drivers the interior space of a full-size SUV. Whether you want to stretch out on your commute from Naperville to Aurora or pack plenty of luggage when you’re heading from Plainfield to O’Hare, the Ford is going to prove superior to the Chevy. At the same time, the Ford is a little shorter, making it easier to park and maneuver.

Ford Crossover vs. Chevy Crossover Safety

With the crossover SUV segment so popular among families, the Ford Escape’s exceptional safety ratings and technology should inspire greater confidence than the underequipped and severely outdated Chevrolet Equinox.
