  • The available engine and technology on the Ford Escape make it the more fuel-efficient option, earning the EPA-estimated 27 mpg on the streets of Havertown and 33 on the highway.  That edges out the Equinox, who earns just 26 in the city and 31 on the highways.
  • Once inside the Ford Escape, you can tell the designers took great care to consider your comfort.  High-quality materials make it feel more upscale than the price would indicate, even on the lower trim levels.  The Chevy Equinox is peppered with hard plastic elements throughout its cabin.  These materials aren't consistent with what you would expect to find, when considering the price.
  • Safety is a priority for both the Equinox and Escape.  Each earned an Overall Five Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.  But only the Ford Escape comes equipped with the Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology, with Driver Drowsiness Monitoring, Evasive Steering Assist and a host of other standard features.
