2026 Chevrolet Equinox vs. Ford Escape: Which is Right for Me?
Small SUVs can be the perfect fit for many drivers. Compact SUVs such as the Chevy Equinox and Ford Escape manage to be spacious and versatile, while still remaining compact, agile, and fun. We're showcasing all the reasons we recommend that you choose the Chevy SUV between the two at Gillman Chevrolet GMC.
Technology Features
There's no denying that new Chevrolet SUVs are innovative and the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is no exception. It boasts a high-tech interior that comes standard with a 11.3-inch advanced color LCD display with wireless smartphone integration and Google built-in capabilities, which includes navigation and natural voice recognition. While the Ford Escape is available with a bigger screen, the standard screen is only eight inches, and the SUV doesn't offer Google built-in capabilities.
Premium Cabin Space
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is designed with your comfort in mind. It comes standard with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, which are only available in select Ford Escape models. It's available with heated rear outboard seats too, which you won't find in the Ford SUV. The Chevy SUV is also available with ventilated front seats for the warmest spring and summer days, which isn't a feature you can get in the Ford SUV.
Safety Features
Both SUVs have a strong focus on safety. However, there are much more features included standard in the 2026 Chevy Equinox, which comes standard with over 15 safety and driver-assistance features. Adaptive Cruise Control, for example, is a standard Chevy Equinox feature that's only available in the Ford Escape. The Chevy Equinox also features HD Surround Vision, Side Bicyclist Alert, and a Following Distance Indicator which aren't even available in the Ford SUV.
