2020 Jeep Compass vs Ford Escape

Nothing is more important than purchasing a vehicle that you know you can rely on, and get the most out of. That is why we are here to help you make that decision by going over some of the top SUVs in the automotive world. The two SUVs we are focusing on today include the 2020 Jeep Compass and the 2020 Ford Escape. We are first looking at the Jeep Compass, which includes a ventilated seat option, Jeep off-roading abilities, great options and packages, and a new exterior paint color. On the other side of things, we have the 2020 Ford Escape. This SUV includes architecture changes, second-row sliding seats, and standard Ford Co-Pilot360. Keep reading to figure out which SUV we recommend the most.

 

2020 Jeep Compass Power & Handling

Jeep is always known for having highly capable machines that can handle any environment that you drive them in. When it comes to the 2020 Compass, you will be getting one standard engine that will never let you down, no matter where your next adventure takes you. You will be able to choose from three transmissions (six-speed manual, six-speed automatic, nine-speed automatic), along with either 2WD or 4WD. The engine itself is the reliable 2.4-liter inline-4, which can crank out 180 horsepower and up to 175 pound-feet of torque. There is a lot to love about these powertrains configurations.

 

2020 Ford Escape Power & Handling

You will find two engines available with the 2020 Escape. We aren’t as impressed with these options as we are with the standard engine that the Compass gets. The base engine, found with FWD or AWD, is a 1.5-liter inline-3, which includes 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The other available engine, only offered with AWD, is a 2.0-liter inline-4, which can output 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. As you can see, there isn’t a 4WD option, which ensures that the Escape doesn’t make a move for the trails, and stays firmly on the pavement.

 

2020 Jeep Compass Features & Design

Not only does the Compass give you a great engine that is impossible to ignore or dislike, but you can also find really amazing features throughout the trim lineup. We’re happy with everything the base trim Sport has to offer. You’ll get heated side mirrors, 16-inch wheels, Android Auto, a Uconnect 4 system with a 7-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay. When you move up to a higher trim, like Latitude, you’ll also find 17-inch wheels, upgraded interior fabrics for added comfort, Proximity Key, push-button start, SiriusXM radio, and cornering front fog lights. There’s something for everyone with this Jeep.

 

2020 Ford Escape Features & Design

Not to be outdone, Ford tries to keep up with the Escape’s trim lineup. Some of these standard features include a 4.5-inch display monitor, selectable drive modes, second-row sliding seats, and Ford Co-Pilot360. Another trim to look at, SE, includes features like evasive-steering assist, keyless entry, an 8-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, heated front seats, and 10-way-power adjustments for the driver. Other features you might find include remote start, a leather steering wheel, and hands-free power tailgate.

Conclusion:

Now is a great time to stop into our dealership and take a peek at the 2020 Jeep Compass inventory that we have on our lot. This SUV completely dominated the Ford Escape in every category, which is why we highly recommend it for all of your needs. We hope to see you soon!
