Safety

Both the 2018 Ford Escape and 2018 Equinox are safety-conscious, family SUVs. Each are equipped with modern safety features, but the Escape offers several more high-tech measures than the Equinox. These features include:

• Reverse Sensing System
• BLIS® w/ Cross-Traffic Alert
• Rear Collision Warning
• Active Parking Assist w/ Parallel Park Assist, Reverse Perpendicular Parking and Forward & Side Sensing Systems

Interior/Cargo

With 34.3 cu.-ft. of cargo space behind the rear seat and a long list of interior configurations, the 2018 Escape certainly beats out the Equinox in terms of both interior form and function. The following features come standard on the Escape SE, but can't be found on the Equinox LS:

• 8-way Power Driver Seat
• Driver and Passenger Heated Seats
• Automatic Dual-Zone Temperature Control
• Premium Cloth Upholstery
• Leather-Wrapped Shift Knob
• 67.8 cu.-ft. Maximum Cargo Space

Technology

Both the Escape and the Equinox offer tech features you've come to expect from a modern vehicle, but the Escape goes above and beyond. Available features like a 10-speaker Sony® audio system and an 8-in. LCD touchscreen give the Escape an upper hand over the Equinox. Standard tech features for the Escape SE include:

• SiriusXM® Satellite Radio
• SYNC© Advanced Voice Recognition Infotainment System
• AppLink Smart Device Integration
• SecuriCode™ keyless-entry keypad
