2018 Subaru Forester vs 2018 Ford Escape Performance Comparison

Your next new small SUV should offer a level of performance that doesn't drain your budget at the gas pump and still gets you, the family, and your gear safely to the next destination. That's exactly what you'll find in a new 2018 Subaru Forester equipped standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and up to 32 MPG. The more-expensive Ford Escape only manages up to 29 MPG, and you'll have to pay more to upgrade it with four-wheel drive, which still falls short of the traction you can enjoy in a new Subaru Forester. It may seem like the lower fuel economy in the Ford may suggests more power, but that's not the case. The flat BOXER® engine under the hood of the entry-level Subaru Forester provides slightly more horsepower and torque. What's more, this flat engine design allows the Subaru Forester to handle like a car thanks to the low center of gravity.
