2022 Ford Escape vs. 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The 2022 Ford Escape impresses a lot of car buyers because despite being a compact SUV, there is plenty of space to move about inside as well. This also offers a large cargo area, and gives passengers a user-friendly infotainment experience.

In the case of the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer, you will find roomy seats inside. That is paired with a spacious cargo area too. Add to that, expect an intuitive infotainment system too. Satellite radio is now standard for the ride

Design & Style

Looking at the exterior dimensions of these vehicles, the 2022 Ford Escape is longer, wider and taller than that of the 2022 Trailblazer. The Ford has a cargo space measuring 37.5 cubic feet when all seats are in use, better than that of the Chevy's standard cargo configuration of 25.3 cubic feet. Expect high-quality materials for its cabin too. This one sits five people comfortably on both rows.

The 2022 version of the Trailblazer sits five people, and is praised for its comfortable front seats. One will feel that the SUV is a bit firm in terms of overall seating configuration too. It is good that there is plenty of legroom and headroom inside.

Technology & Safety

Using the SYNC infotainment system with a 4.2-inch infotainment display, the 2022 Ford Escape allows to upgrade the screen to have an eight-inch touch configuration plus an option to add a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. It has six speakers, multiple USB ports, and a WiFi hot spot included as part of the standard amenities. Meanwhile, its list of standard driver aids includes blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning.

The 2022 Trailblazer uses a seven-inch touch screen display that easily responds to user inputs. It is equipped with six speakers, wireless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. Safety wise, it offers the same features as those that you will find in the Ford Escape.

Performance

The 2022 Ford Escape hits 181 horsepower with its three-cylinder engine. In terms of fuel efficiency, it rates 28 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. The turbo-three under the hood of the Chevy only rates 137 horsepower. This shows a lethargic result, with numbers way lower than what the Ford offers to its passengers.

The Bottom Line

Ratings are equal for the Ford Escape and Chevrolet Blazer 2022 versions when considering their design and style. When it comes to technologies, safety features, and engine performance, however, the Ford is a far winner. This makes it the winner of this compact SUV battle.
