Our team at Lucas Chevy has created this 2020 Chevy Equinox vs. Ford Escape comparison, so you can see which SUV will better fit into your lifestyle. Let’s see who comes out on top!
Peace of mind is paramount when you're traveling with loved ones in-tow. That's why both the 2020 Chevy Equinox and the Ford Escape come with a wide array of standard safety features. They share the following technologies:
Teen Driver is one unique feature that you'll only find on the Chevy Equinox. It makes this SUV ideal for families with an up-and-coming driver. When your teen's key fob is in use, this system automatically limits certain vehicle features and activates equipped safety features.
When you find yourself in a crowded parking lot, both SUVs come with technologies that will give you the confidence to find the perfect spot. They both come standard with a rear-view camera, but only the Equinox offers a Surround Vision camera. It will give you an overhead view of your SUV, so you can maneuver into the tightest spots.
There's seating for five in both the 2020 Equinox and the Escape. Everyone can relax in the available leather-trimmed upholstery and both SUVs give you 40 inches of front headroom to stretch out into. They can also be equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control to keep everyone at the ideal temperature.
Whether you're packing up for a road trip or a weekend down at the shore, both SUVs have plenty of cargo space to fill up. They also make it easier to load up when your hands are full. They can be equipped with a Hands-Free Gesture liftgate that opens with a kick of your foot under the rear bumper.
Both SUVs come with intuitive infotainment systems that will help you stay connected on the go, but the Equinox will make it a little easier. It comes standard with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, so you can keep up with your favorite smartphone apps. The same features are only available on the higher Ford Escape trim levels.
The 2020 Chevy Equinox and the Ford Escape both offer 1.5L and 2.0L gas powertrains. If you're looking for more power, you'll want to opt for the 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine of the Equinox. It boasts 252 horsepower, which beats out the 250-horsepower, 2.0L EcoBoost® of the Escape.
All-wheel drive is available with both vehicles. It sends the most power to the wheels with the best grip, so you can enjoy sure-footed control on slick streets.
Automatic Stop/Start is an engine technology that helps boost fuel economy, and it's standard on both SUVs. When idling at a red light or in stop-and-go traffic, it will automatically shut down the engine to save fuel and cut emissions. It will fire right back up when you take your foot off the brake.
If your family adventures through Lumberton, Burlington, and Delran, New Jersey, call for an SUV with unique safety features and more standard connectivity, the 2020 Chevy Equinox is for you.
