2018 Ford Escape compared to the competition

When you are looking for your next SUV, you have to consider a ton of numbers and factors, but we can make that simple for you. Want to see the 2018 Ford Escape compared to the competition? You’ve come to the right place. With a series of videos, we’ll compare the Escape to the Jeep Cherokee, the Honda CR-V, the Nissan Rogue, and the Toyota RAV4. See just how impressive this Ford SUV is.

Ford Escape vs Nissan Rogue

When compared to the Escape or nearly any other crossover for that matter, the Nissan Rogue is simply underpowered. With considerably less horsepower, it also has less towing capacity. Combine that with other available technology features of the Escape and Ford’s reputation for reliability, and the Escape is the clear winner in this comparison.

Ford Escape vs Jeep Cherokee

Jeep is a brand that has been living off reputation alone for too long, and that is obvious when you compare the Cherokee against a real heavy-hitter like the Escape. With more cargo room, higher crash-test ratings, and better features, the Escape comes out on top. Did we mention that Jeep was ranked in the bottom 10 in terms of reliability by Consumer Reports?


Ford Escape vs Honda CR-V

Honda has a reputation of its own, and that reputation is not for power or capability, which are two things that people come to crossovers like the Escape for. The CR-V has less power, less towing capability, and they rely on continuously variable transmissions, which are notorious for reliability issues leading to costly repairs.

Ford Escape vs Toyota RAV4

Again, the Escape wins in terms of horsepower and towing, but that’s not all. The Escape has superior technology and features with things like active park assist and more. When it comes down to it though, don’t you want a vehicle that people keep coming back to? Ford has the highest SUV brand loyalty in the industry. This makes the Escape the smart choice for any SUV buyer.
