Why the 2023 Ford Escape's Powertrain Outshines the Competition

The 2023 Ford Escape boasts an impressive lineup of powertrain options, including a hybrid and plug-in hybrid variant, in addition to its standard turbocharged engines. But that's not all - with the available intelligent all-wheel drive system, the Escape is ready to tackle any terrain, providing optimal traction and stability in all driving conditions. In comparison, the 2023 Chevy Equinox falls short with only one engine option and a traditional all-wheel drive system.

The Escape's variety of powertrain choices and advanced drive modes, coupled with its capable all-wheel drive system, make it the clear choice for drivers seeking a dynamic and versatile SUV experience. Also, while Equinox is powered by a single 1.5L powertrain, Escape offers two gas powertrains - 1.5L EcoBoost and 2.0L EcoBoost - as well as a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle hybrid and a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle plug-in hybrid. That's a breadth of powertrain options simply unavailable on Equinox.

Escape Has an Edge in Driver-Assist Features

The 2023 Ford Escape sets a new standard for technological innovation and safety in its class. With Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced safety features, drivers can enjoy peace of mind with features like blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic emergency braking. In addition, the Escape offers Ford's Sync 4 infotainment system, providing seamless smartphone integration, voice-activated commands, and a high-resolution touchscreen display.

The Equinox, on the other hand, offers a similar suite of safety features, but falls short in terms of technological advancements. The Escape's advanced safety and tech features make it a top choice for those seeking a modern and safe driving experience. Still driving assist features you can find on the Escape: Evasive Steering Assist, standard Auto Brake Hold, Intersection Assist, and Rear-Cross Traffic Braking.

Why the 2023 Ford Escape's Cutting-Edge Technology Surpasses the Equinox

When drivers want a high level of technology, Escape offers available features that Equinox cannot match:

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control provides Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering Assist and Speed Sign Recognition. Adaptive Cruise Control in Equinox only adjusts speed to maintain following distance.

B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen®, while Equinox offers Bose® premium sound system. For those keeping score, the B&O system features 10 speakers, including subwoofer, while Bose has 7 speakers.

SecuriCode invisible keypad uses a 5-digit code that allows owners to lock and unlock the driver's door, passenger doors or access the liftgate - all without using a key. Nothing similar is available on Equinox.
