Cargo Space

Simply Stated - Tell Your Customers

  • While it's larger than the previous generation, Equinox still doesn't offer as much cargo space as Escape
  • Compared to Equinox, Escape provides enough extra cargo space for four paper grocery bags

Competitive Chatter - What They're Saying

Chevy promotes the Equinox as having all the room you need with: 

  • 63.5 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the 1st row (rear seats folded flat)
  • 29.9 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the 2nd row 

Ford Facts

When you still need more room than Equinox promises, Escape delivers with:

  • More cargo space - 68.0 cu. ft., or 4.5 cu. ft. more than Equinox - enough extra room for four paper grocery bags

Parking-assist Technologies

Simply Stated - Tell Your Customers

  • Enhanced active park assist*(1) on Escape can sense an adequately sized parallel or reverse perpendicular parking spot and steers Escape into that space with minimal driver input
  • The Surround Vision camera system on Equinox helps with parking, but the driver must do all of the work

Competitive Chatter - What They're Saying

  • Surround Vision gives you a virtual bird's-eye view of your vehicle on the available 8" diagonal color touchscreen to help with parking and backing up 
  • The system is made up of four cameras - the standard rear vision camera, a forward-looking camera in the front grille and one under each side mirror

Ford Facts

  • Escape offers enhanced active park assist*

The system doesn't require constant monitoring of an in-vehicle screen like the Equinox camera-based system

  • All the driver needs to do is control the gear shifter, gas and brake pedals
  • Once an adequately sized parking space is found, the system steers Escape into the space

Drive Systems
