Nissan Rogue vs. Ford Escape

Driver Assistance Ready to Step In

It never hurts to have a little help from time to time. The Nissan Rogue and the Ford Escape both offer advanced driver-assistance features.

Both of these SUVs provide a standard blind spot warning system, which gives you extra awareness on the highway.

The Rogue ups the ante a bit by providing the available ProPILOT Assist. This is a system that manages your speed to keep your vehicle at a set distance behind other traffic while also guiding your steering. This is great for drivers looking to reduce their fatigue when spending long hours on the highway.

Another unique feature offered by the Nissan Rogue is the standard Intelligent Trace Control. When you’re rounding a corner, your vehicle can automatically manipulate the brakes to provide optimal handling around the bend. This means you'll enjoy a much more easy-going ride, even when you’re taking on tighter turns.

World-Class Infotainment Features 

If you need a vehicle that can keep you informed while you’re on the go, the Nissan Rogue and the Ford Escape both have you covered. These SUVs give drivers infotainment systems that allow them to easily stay on top of important information while also having easy access to entertainment.

The Nissan Rogue gives drivers standard Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® and available wireless Apple CarPlay®, which are designed to integrate your phone with your car. Once you have your phone connected to this system, you can listen to music and set navigational directions on your phone and have them projected onto the infotainment screen.

Unfortunately for the Ford Escape, this vehicle comes standard with a SYNC® infotainment system that doesn’t include Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. If you want a more comprehensive system, you’ll have to upgrade to the available SYNC® 3 system, which only comes in the higher trims of this SUV.

In the Rogue, More Cargo Volume

When you’re loading up your SUV with everything you picked up on your errands, you’ll want to be sure you have a large enough cargo area. The Ford Escape is able to provide a good amount of space, with 34.4 cubic feet of volume behind the second row. If you fold down the back seats, you’ll have up to 65.4 cubic feet of volume at your disposal.

However, the Nissan Rogue interior provides a bit more space, with as much as 36.5 cubic feet behind the second row. Make use of your folding back seats and you’ll be able to expand that volume all the way up to 74.1 cubic feet.
