2018 Ford Escape vs. 2018 Chevrolet Equinox

Drivers looking for a top of the line crossover SUV naturally turn to Ford and Chevy, and that leads to comparing 2018 Ford Escape vs. 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. We’ve crunched the numbers and considered the features and tech to help you find the right model.

We’re pleased to report that only the Ford Escape offers:

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

More Controlled Performance Than  the Equinox

Both the 2018 Ford Escape and the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox offer a four-cylinder engine as standard and an available turbocharged four-cylinder for added horsepower and torque.

That said, only the Ford Escape offers:

• Curve Control and Torque Vectoring Control
• AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control

The 2018 Chevy Equinox is noticeably longer than the 2018 Ford Escape, so expect tougher timers in tight Conroe parking lots or crowded roads across Spring or The Woodlands. Despite that added length, the Chevy Equinox interior somehow manages to deliver less front legroom than the Ford Escape and fail to match the Ford Escape’s cargo space.

Ford Escape Safety Rating Surpasses the Chevy Equinox

The Ford delivers a few standard features unavailable with the 2018 Chevy Equinox, including voice recognition and a CD player, but the main difference lies in terms of safety technology.

Only the Ford can provide:

• Enhanced Active Park Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control

Since the overall NHTSA Ford Escape safety rating comes in at 5-stars, the Ford should definitely be your SUV of choice if safety is of paramount concern.
