Compare the Chevy Equinox and the Ford Escape
In the ever-popular compact crossover SUV class, the Chevy Equinox stands out from the crowd with its sophisticated and sporty style, versatile accommodations, and generous features list. But how does it match up against one of its closest competitors, the Ford Escape?
Compare Features
We love the Equinox for its generous equipment list at the base trim level. The Equinox comes standard with keyless entry and ignition, LED daytime running lights, and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
The Escape offers these features, but they cost extra. None are included as standard equipment.
Compare Performance
For confident passing and merging maneuvers, the Chevy Equinox delivers better out-of-the-box acceleration than the Ford Escape. The standard turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine of the Equinox produces 203 pound-feet of torque, while the 1.5-liter three-cylinder of the Escape makes 190 pound-feet of torque.
The Equinox and Escape both offer available all-wheel-drive across the lineup.
Compare Safety Features
Both the Equinox and Escape prioritize safety, with several advanced driver-assistance technologies across the trim levels. The Equinox comes standard with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, IntelliBeam Automatic High Beams, and a Follow Distance Indicator.
The Ford Escape includes its own versions of these technologies, but it lacks a follow-distance indicator and pedestrian detection for the automatic emergency braking system.
