Choose the Power and Performance You Need
When choosing your next SUV there are many different factors to consider such as fuel economy and towing capacity, so a comparison of the powertrains on the Ford EcoSport and Ford Escape are a great place to start.
The EcoSport is armed with a 1.0-liter EcoBoost® Engine that boasts Auto Start-Stop Technology to seamlessly shut off your engine when idling in traffic or at a stop light. The result is an EPA-estimated 27 MPG city and 29 MPG highway, allowing you to enjoy a road trip with minimal gas station stops.1
If you're looking for a vehicle to haul your lightweight travel trailer, opt for the Escape. Its 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine can take on hauls up to 3,500 pounds, ideal for bringing your jet skis to the shore for the weekend. Though you may have to leave your small fishing boat behind with the EcoSport since it can only tackle tows up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Interior Comforts and Cargo Room
When it comes to interior accommodations, the EcoSport and Escape are fairly evenly matched with available moonroofs that open to let in some much-needed sunlight during the day. At night, illuminate your cabin with the soft glow of ambient lighting. This available amenity provides an enhanced view of key features in your SUV while also setting the tone for your drive home.
Despite these similarities, the Ford Escape has a larger stance than the EcoSport, resulting in more interior cargo space. When all the seats are upright, you'll have access to 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space perfect for groceries and shopping bags. If more room is needed, fold the rear seat down to open up to 65.4 cubic feet of space. On the other hand, the Ford EcoSport maxes out at 50 cubic feet so it might not be able to fit bulkier items if needed.
Explore the Road with Added Confidence
The Ford EcoSport and Ford Escape create assured and secure drives with an available Blind Spot Information System® with Cross-Traffic Alert. It warns when a vehicle is approaching you side blind zones on the highway or when backing out of a busy parking space, allowing you to travers the unpredictable road with confidence.
If you're looking to take safety to the next level, get behind the wheel of the Escape with available Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping System, and Auto High-Beam Headlamps. These features work to keep you alerted to the road, helping you avoid obstacles and potential collisions.
