2017 Subaru Forester vs 2017 Ford Escape Design Comparison
The impressive new 2017 Subaru Forester and the new Ford Escape are well designed small SUVs, however the differences are hard to miss.

Over ten cubic feet more passenger space ensures far greater comfort for everyone in the new Subaru Forester. This is just a preview of how the more affordable 2017 Subaru Forester is designed to give you more for your money than the 2017 Ford Escape.
2017 Subaru Forester vs 2017 Ford Escape Performance Comparison
If you haven't enjoyed the unique world-renowned performance that comes with Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive, a BOXER engine, 8.7 inches of ground clearance and more, then you're in for a treat behind the wheel of the new 2017 Forester. Ford has also built a reputation for good performance, but the new 2017 Escape falls behind the advantages offered by a new Subaru Forester. At the entry level, the new Subaru forester has a slight horsepower advantage, but what really pulls this remarkable small SUV ahead of competition like the new Ford Escape is the standard symmetrical all-wheel drive system. When the roads of the Denver metro area get cold and slick, you'll find much better traction in the new Subaru Forester than you would after paying more to upgrade the new Ford Escape with four-wheel drive. Additionally, you'll appreciate far better fuel economy in the Subaru Forester which is also a partial zero emission vehicle.
2017 Subaru Forester vs 2017 Ford Escape Safety Comparison
Whether you are hauling around the most precious of passengers, or mixing it up with Denver Metro traffic, nothing is more important than your safety. Subaru has long held the reputation for being the industry's safest brand, and the Forester backs up this reputation with better safety features than you get with the Ford Escape. The standard symmetrical all-wheel drive system that we mentioned before provides a significant safety advantage for the Subaru Forester, and independent crash testing further illustrates why Subaru continues to define automotive safety. The IIHS has already awarded the new Subaru Forester the prestigious 2017 Top Safety Pick+* award when equipped with EyeSight technology with top scores across the board. The 2017 Ford Escape did not get away with such high scores, and it only managed an 'acceptable' safety rating in the event of a small overlap frontal crash. No matter how you look at it, the new Subaru Forester is clearly the safer choice for you and your loved ones.
