Ford Escape vs Nissan Rogue

Run Errands with Less Interruption

When choosing your family’s next SUV, you’ll want to select a model that won’t have you running to the pump in between your daughter’s soccer practice and your son’s oboe lessons. The 2021 Ford Escape has three efficient engines for you to choose from, including a hybrid option:

• 1.5-liter EcoBoost® I-3 engine: EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG
• 2.0-liter EcoBoost® I-4 engine: EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG
• 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle I-4 hybrid engine: EPA-estimated 44 city/37 highway MPG

As you can see, any of these powertrains are sure to have you cruising right on past the gas station during your morning drive to drop off the kids at school.

While the Nissan Rogue offers fuel efficiency comparable to the baseline engine in the Escape with an EPA-estimated 27 city MPG and 35 highway MPG, a hybrid option is not available to help you make the most out of your fuel tank.

Let Your Kids Stretch Out

Since you may be spending more time behind the wheel, it’s important to select a model with plenty of room for you and your clan. While both the 2021 Ford Escape and the Nissan Rogue offer roomy front rows, there’s some key differences when it comes to the space they provide for your kids:

With significantly less rear legroom in the Rogue, you may feel your son kicking the back of your seat when taking long trips out of town to see grandma. However, with nearly 41 inches of rear legroom in the Escape, this most likely won’t be an issue.

Keep Your Little Ones Secure

Of course, the most important aspect to consider while choosing a car is its safety. You need to travel with peace of mind, knowing that your children are safely out of harm’s way.

With the following standard safety features, both the Escape and the Rogue have you covered:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keeping System

The 2021 Ford Escape also keeps you safe while parking with the optional Active Park Assist 2.0. This advanced safety system intelligently steers your SUV into parking spaces for you, easily maneuvering the complexities of parallel parking.
While the Nissan Rogue does offer a front and rear sonar system to alert you to your proximity to obstacles, it won’t steer your car for you.
