Ford Escape vs Nissan Rogue

When looking for your next family-friendly vehicle, we’re betting you’ve come across the Ford Escape and Nissan Rogue. Both are excellent choices for your Tunkhannock, Dallas, Harvey’s Lake, and Wilkes-Barre drives, whether you’re headed to work or your favorite weekend getaway spot.

To give you all the details on what the Escape and Rogue have to offer, our team at Tunkhannock Ford has put together this vehicle comparison. Keep reading to see which vehicle is right for you!

Escape vs Rogue: Interior Space and Comfort

One of the first things you might look for when choosing a family-friendly ride is just how much space you’ll have for your passengers. The kiddos won’t be complaining about the amount of legroom you’ll find in these rides–40.7 inches in the new Ford Escape, and 37.9 inches in the Nissan Rogue, to be exact.

With so much space for passengers, you’ll need some extra storage space for game gear or vacation luggage. With both vehicles, you’ll get at least 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, which is plenty of space to store whatever the kids might have in mind!

When it comes to the latest technology features, you’ll find them available in both the Escape and the Rogue. Connectivity options, such as Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto™, will keep your rides entertaining with your favorite smartphone apps and music right at your fingertips.

Power & Performance in the Rogue and Escape

Opting for a family-friendly ride doesn’t mean giving up on powerful engine options. When you opt for the Ford Escape, you’ll get not just one but four different engine options that will personalize your power preferences. These options include:

• A 1.5L EcoBoost^® Engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology
• A 2.0L EcoBoost^® Engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology
• A Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Engine
• A Plug-in 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Engine

Unfortunately, the Nissan Rogue only offers one engine option: a 2.5L 4-cylinder.

The Escape takes the lead when it comes to the latest technology features, too. You’ll get an EPA-estimated 27/33 MPG city/highway, while the Rogue follows slightly behind with an EPA-estimated 26/33 MPG city/highway.

Ford Escape and Nissan Rogue Safety Features

Safety in your family-friendly ride is most important–and if you could have a personal driving assistant with you on the road, that’s even better! Luckily, you’ll find plenty of safety features included in both the Ford Escape and the Nissan Rogue.

The Ford Escape offers Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology, which is a suite of driver-assist features that come standard on your Escape model. Such features include BLIS^® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Available Active Park Assist, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency braking and more.

Fortunately, the Nissan Rogue offers similar features, but you’ll have to upgrade for the standard options.
