Interested in taking your vehicle on a thrilling weekend getaway? You’ll want an SUV with tons of power under the hood. The 2022 Escape and the Rogue are two popular models with a lot to offer. Which one will you get behind the wheel of?
When you’re ready for an adventure, the 2022 Ford Escape and the Nissan Rogue are ready to help you confidently explore with available intelligent All-Wheel Drive. These systems power all four wheels to provide extra road grip on low-traction surfaces when needed.
Both models come standard with front-wheel drive.
If you want your lightweight travel trailer to make the trek as well, you may prefer the Escape. When properly equipped, this SUV can haul up to 3,500 pounds with ease, so you can take your camper or small aluminum boat out for the weekend.
The Rogue won’t be able to meet all your adventure needs, though, since it can only pull up to 1,500 pounds.
The interiors of both the Escape and the Rogue bring plenty of comfort and convenience to your drives. From running around to after-work activities to visiting the farmers market on Saturday mornings, these SUVs are bound to keep you cozy during the drive.
Whether you’re driving alone or the car is packed full of your friends and family, comfort is key. Some of the enjoyable interior amenities available inside these SUVs include:
The 2022 Ford Escape also offers an available 10-way power driver’s seat to find your ideal seating position when behind the wheel. Unfortunately, the Nissan Rogue doesn’t offer this kind of seating versatility, and instead tops out at an 8-way power driver’s seat.
Of course, you’ll also want to make sure the SUV you choose has enough room for everyone to stretch out. The Ford Escape offers plenty of room:
While the Nissan Rogue has a decent amount of room, it falls behind with 41.5 inches of legroom in the front and 38.5 inches in the rear. As for shoulder room, the Rogue offers 57.1 inches in the front and just 37.8 inches in the rear.
No matter where you plan to drive your SUV, safety will be a priority in both the Escape and the Rogue. Though no amount of tech can replace the skills of an alert driver, the safety-assist features that each vehicle offers can add a helping hand.
If you’re ready to get from Point A to Point B with confidence, then these SUVs can assist. Both vehicles will help navigate the highway securely with the following standard features:
These features will help keep an eye on your surroundings. Whether you’re merging on the highway or coming up to a stoplight, you can feel confident knowing these features are working in your favor.
To give you a hand with parking, each vehicle is also standardly equipped with a rearview camera. But for added convenience, the 2022 Ford Escape has Active Park Assist 2.0 available. This intelligent system steers into parking spots while you focus on changing gears, braking, and accelerating.
This top-of-the-line system is not available in the Rogue, though, so you’ll need to park the old-fashioned way.
While both the 2022 Ford Escape and the Nissan Rogue perform admirably, the Escape truly stands out in a crowd. With its top-notch features, the Escape is the clear choice for drivers in the Delaware, Marion, and Sunbury areas.
