2020 Ford Escape vs 2020 Chevrolet Trax

If you’re shopping for a small SUV, the number of choices can be overwhelming. However, just looking at two of them—the 2020 Ford Escape and Chevrolet Trax—makes it clear that the new Escape is tough to beat. The 2020 Escape boasts powerful engine options, a solid safety package, and a host of features that you won’t find consistently in the Trax. Take a look at some stats about these two vehicles, and you’ll already detect a winner.

2020 Ford Escape Packs a Stronger Punch

Perhaps the most striking difference between this year’s Ford Escape and Chevy Trax lies in their engines’ capabilities. You only get one option with the Trax: a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine with just 138 horsepower. This unrefined engine accelerates rather noisily, yet slowly.

The Escape, on the other hand, gives you the choice of four different powertrains, starting with a 181-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter option. Or you can upgrade to the 2.0-liter engine—also turbocharged—which produces a whopping 250 horsepower. And unlike the Trax, the Escape is available as a hybrid, either a conventional hybrid with a 2.5-liter engine or a plug-in with two electric motors.

The Ford Escape crushes the competition when it comes to safety features. While not yet tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2020 Escape was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This discrepancy is likely due to Ford’s Co-Pilot360, the most advanced suite of standard driver-assist technologies among full-line brands. The suite includes features such as:

  • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with cross-traffic alert
  • Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking
  • Lane-keeping system
  • Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology
  • Active park assist

Some of these features are standard in the Trax’s Premier model and available in lower trim levels, but many of them, like pre-collision assist, aren’t present at all.

The Ford Escape may cost a bit more than the Chevy Trax, but you’ll get a lot more for your money. Just like with the driver-assist technologies, many features seen across trim levels in the Escape are only present in the Trax’s Premier model, if at all. Some of these include a sunroof, second-row sliding seats, keyless entry and remote start, and several others.
