Ford Escape vs. the competition
2018 Ford Escape
2018 Honda CR-V
Ford Escape vs. Honda CR-V
The Ford Escape can be a little more fun to drive than the Honda CR-V if it's equipped with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (though it's only available on the top-level Titanium trim). We also prefer its infotainment interface. The CR-V earns higher marks for its upscale interior design and superior utility. The CR-V ends up with a higher Edmunds overall star rating of 4 stars.
Ford Escape vs. Chevrolet Equinox
The Equinox's advantages relate mainly to its newer design — Chevy fully redesigned the Equinox for the 2018 model year. It offers a smoother ride than the Escape and a fuel-efficient diesel engine option. Overall, the Equinox is a nicer vehicle, but you'll typically pay less to get an Escape.
Ford Escape vs. Nissan Rogue
The Nissan Rogue is one of the few vehicles in this class to offer a third-row seat. That will be an advantage if you occasionally need to carry extra passengers, especially if they're small. The Rogue has more cargo space, too. But it is kind of a snooze to drive. We prefer the Escape's driving acumen, especially when equipped with the optional turbo 2.0-liter engine (Titanium model only).
