The Ford lineup offers two compelling SUV options: the compact Ford Escape and the larger Ford Explorer. Both provide the comfort, technology, and versatility that today's SUV buyers are looking for, but there are some key differences to consider. At Tracy Langston Ford in Springfield, TN, we're here to help you compare the new Ford Escape and new Ford Explorer to determine which is the best fit for your needs and lifestyle.
Size and Seating
One of the biggest differences between the Ford Escape and Ford Explorer is size. The Ford Escape is a compact crossover that provides seating for up to five passengers. If you frequently need to transport larger groups, the Ford Explorer midsize SUV offers three rows and seating for up to seven. Families in Clarksville will appreciate the extra space and versatility the Ford Explorer provides.
Behind the rear seats, the Ford Escape offers 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space, enough for luggage, groceries, and gear. With the rear seats folded, cargo volume expands to an impressive 65.4 cubic feet. The larger Ford Explorer, on the other hand, has 18.2 cubic feet behind the third row, 47.9 cubic feet behind the second row, and a massive 87.8 cubic feet with both back rows folded. If you frequently haul large or bulky items around Nashville, the Ford Explorer may be the better choice.
Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the Ford Escape and Ford Explorer also differ. The Ford Escape offers a choice of two turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engines, both of which balance responsive performance with wallet-friendly fuel efficiency. For many drivers in White House, the turbocharged engines of the Ford Escape provide ample power and acceleration.
The Ford Explorer, being a larger vehicle, offers more powerful engine options. The base turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder produces a healthy 300 horsepower. Also available are a 365-horsepower twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 and a muscular 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 in the high-performance ST model. For maximum towing and hauling capability around Springfield, the burlier of the Ford Explorer powertrain options fit the bill.
