Performance
The differences between the EcoSport and the Escape begin with the experience they deliver behind the wheel. The EcoSport is only available with gas-powered engines. These include a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine and a 2.0-liter Ti-VCT engine. These are connected to an automatic transmission and have auto on-off technology. Most of the EcoSport trims are equipped with front-wheel drive, and intelligent all-wheel drive is standard or available in the higher trim levels. In comparison, the 2020 Ford Escape is available in both gas-powered and hybrid engines. Its gas engines include a 1.5-liter EcoBoost and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost. Both of these are linked to an automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive disconnect is available.
Appearance
The 2020 Ford Escape is more extensive than the EcoSport throughout the exterior dimensions. While the overall exterior design of these models is unique, they do have some shared traits. The 2020 EcoSport has practical ground clearance with thick lower-body cladding from end to end. It shows off a geometric grille with a pattern that varies by trim. The halogen headlights sit over triangular ports for the foglamps. The EcoSport's profile is tapered, but you may notice that its roof and hood have less curvature than the Escape. The Escape's exterior is also defined by substantial ground clearance, and its lower-body cladding is thinner overall. The side cladding is accented by metallic trim. Most of the trims come with a black mesh grille and LED signature lighting.
Features
The interiors of these two Ford models have some familial similarities throughout their designs and materials. Throughout the trim line, they also carry many of the same features. These shared features may include a Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, an auto climate management system, Sync 3 tech, a navigation system, voice activation for the touch display screen, leather material, FordPass Connect, Co-Pilot 360 assistive features, a push-button starter, and additional equipment.
