Chevrolet Equinox vs. Ford Escape
A Comparison: The new Chevrolet Equinox vs. the Ford Escape
There are a number of outstanding choices in the very competitive compact SUV category including the new new Chevy Equinox and the Ford Escape. Both vehicles have a lot of appeal and both are well worth considering. So it's significant that the Chevy Equinox is not only Chevrolet's most popular SUV but it also sells 40% more vehicles than the Ford Escape. That might make you wonder what advantages the Equinox offers over the Escape to attain such a high level of popularity. Here's a comparison of these two compact crossovers and why you'll want to get a new Chevy Equinox at Graham Chevrolet Cadillac in Mansfield, OH.
A comparison of power and performance
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox in our new inventory is equipped with an efficient turbocharged 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. While the Ford Escape offers multiple powertrain versions, including hybrid options, the pure combustion-driven performance of the Equinox delivers a high level of reliability without the extra complexity of hybrid systems.
A comparison of safety features
Chevrolet doesn't take shortcuts when it comes to your family's safety as you drive around Wooster, OH. That's why the 2025 Equinox is equipped with the Chevy Safety Assist Suite. It includes reassuring safety features like automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane-keeping assist, a lane-departure warning system and a following-distance indicator, all as standard features. These safety features don't require any additional expense but are integrated into every new Chevy Equinox.
The 2025 Ford Escape does have a viable safety system called Ford CoPilot®360 but many of its more advanced features are available only at higher trim levels and require you to spend more money. Meanwhile, the Chevy Equinox gives your Ashland, OH family a comprehensive safety system without making you pay more for essential features. The Equinox does offer optional features like HD Surround Vision and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking to enhance your situational awareness.
A Comparison of Exteriors
The design of the new 2025 Chevy Equinox puts a high priority on style with a distinctive grille and unique paint colors like Mosaic Black Metallic and Radiant Red Tintcoat. The Ford Escape offers exterior colors like Rapid Red and Space Silver Metallic. The new Equinox comes with enhancements that help it stand out like the available two-tone roof in the RS trim and the rugged appearance of the ACTIV model that's highlighted by a uniquely-tuned suspension and all-terrain tires. The design enhancements in the Equinox are elevated by convenience features like an optional hands-free power liftgate that make a solid case for Shelby, OH buyers to choose the Equinox over the Escape.
A comparison of interiors
The cabin of the the new 2025 Equinox is focused on comfort and technology. It comes with a large 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment screen that's angled towards the driver, making it easier to use. The Equinox also has wireless Apple CarPlay®and Android Auto™, giving you integrated connection to your favorite apps. The Ford Escape has a larger 13.2-inch touch screen but it doesn't have the same driver-focused ergonomics you'll get in the Equinox. In addition, the Equinox provides Bucyrus, OH passengers with comfortable seat designs with options like Evotex and suede microfiber seating surfaces in the ACTIV trim level.
A comparison of mechanics and engineering
Both compact crossovers are built with solid engineering but the 2025 Equinox gives you advantages in terms of dependability and capability. The Equinox provides an outstanding driving experience that's supported by a strong chassis that can handle a variety of terrain surfaces, especially in the adventure-focused ACTIV model. The Ford Escape offers all-wheel drive but it doesn't match the balance of handling and comfort in the Equinox.
