2020 Ford Escape vs 2020 GMC Terrain near Dothan, AL

Equipped to please with lively capabilities, intelligent safety features, and ample cabin space, the 2020 Ford Escape is one of the most impressive models in the compact SUV segment. That being said, we understand if you’re still keeping your options open, so we’d like to take the chance to demonstrate how the Escape is superior to the 2020 GMC Terrain. If you still have questions, contact us at Gilland Ford!

Cabin Dimensions

Although these two vehicles belong to the same classification, you’ll have more space at your disposal if you choose the 2020 Escape over the GMC Terrain. To begin, the former treats those in the first row to an accommodating driving experience, courtesy of its 42.4 inches of front legroom. Meanwhile, with just 40.9 inches of space provided in this area of the GMC, you might need to stop and stretch more frequently. The story doesn’t improve much for the Terrain when we focus on cargo space, as there’s only 29.6 cubic ft. of room1 behind its second row. To compare, the model from Ford offers 33.5 cubic ft. of storage2 behind the backseat, in addition to a cavernous 65.4 cubic ft. of total volume2 when this row is folded into the floor. Meanwhile, the Terrain comes up short, supplying a less generous 63.3 cubic ft. of maximum space1

Advanced Safety

When we turn our attention to safety, it becomes abundantly clear just how much the 2020 Ford Escape has to offer. While its rival from GMC does have a wide assortment of standard elements, it fails to match the Escape in a number of ways. First, BLIS® with Cross Traffic Alert3 comes standard on all trim levels, while the 2020 Terrain requires you upgrade to access its comparable Side Blind Zone Alert4 and Rear Cross Traffic Alert4 systems. These innovations lend a hand with helping you know when vehicles are nearby, so you can change lanes and reverse with greater confidence. Incredibly, the Escape still has more to offer, including available Active Park Assist 2.03. Instead of needing multiple attempts to parallel park, this feature helps out by turning the wheel while you control the gas, brakes, and shifting. You won’t find a similar feature on the Terrain!

Power & Economy

The last aspect we’d like to discuss is performance. Make no mistake, the Ford Escape has been engineered to excite, as evidenced by the robust 181 horsepower delivered with ease by its standard 1.5L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the 2020 Terrain’s 1.5L turbo system might not feel as invigorating, as it only produces 170 horsepower. To make matters worse for the GMC, it also falls short in regards to fuel economy, achieving 26/30 MPG city/hwy5 with FWD and 25/28 MPG city/hwy5 with AWD. To compare, the Escape maintains 27/33 MPG city/hwy6 and 26/31 MPG city/hwy6 with these respective drivetrains. 

So, between the 2020 Ford Escape vs 2020 GMC Terrain near Dothan, AL, which do wish to take home? If you agree with Gilland Ford, then the Escape stole the show! See it for yourself during our business hours
