A Twin Cities Showdown

Since SUVs have appeared in the market, they have dominated due to their comfortable rides, passenger/ cargo volume, and quality performances. That phenomenon continues today as SUVs have become some of the most well-equipped and intelligent vehicles on the roads and trails. Two SUVs that exemplify this performance and intelligence are the 2024 Ford Escape and the 2024 Subaru Forester. While these two vehicles are both powerful competitors in the SUV market, residents of the Twin Cities seem to prefer the 2024 Ford Escape rather than the 2024 Subaru Forester. So continue reading to see if you agree with the Twin Cities that the 2024 Ford Escape reigns superior against the 2024 Subaru Forester.

The Power of Choice 

One of the reasons we believe the Twin Cities prefer the 2024 Ford Escape is the power of choice. With the 2024 Ford Escape, you can choose which engine or motor to power your vehicle. Engine choices include a 1.5L EcoBoost, a 2.0L Ecoboost, or a 2.5L Hybrid motor. 

Conversely, the 2024 Subaru Forester does not offer any optional engines, and all six trims will be equipped with a 2.5L Subaru BOXER four-cylinder engine. While this engine can get the job done right, the power of choice and the ability to cut down on fossil fuels with an available hybrid motor get the nod of approval from Twin Cities residents. 

Better yet, the 2024 Ford Escape is available with three unique transmission options. An eCVT on the hybrid Escapes offers excellent fuel efficiency and a supremely smooth ride. For a more traditional driving experience, the 1.5L engine-equipped Ford Escapes make use of an 8-speed automatic transmission with plenty of gears to keep you cruising comfortably. And finally, for a closer driver feel, 2.0L-equipped Ford Escapes also use an 8-speed automatic transmission with the addition of paddle shifters, allowing you to command your Escape to drive just how you like it. If you opt for the Subaru Forester, you’ll only have the option for a CVT.

The People Love Power

Another area where we believe Twin Cities drivers prefer the 2024 Ford Escape is its available more powerful engine. When behind the 2024 Ford Escape wheel, you can recognize a feeling of security due to its wider frame and authority with more power at your disposal. The available 2.0L EcoBoost engine found in the 2024 Ford Escape is the more powerful engine compared to the 2.5L Subaru BOXER four-cylinder engine. The 2.0L Ecoboost produces up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb. ft. of torque, compared to the 2024 Forester’s 182 horsepower and 176 lb. ft. of torque. With both of these vehicles having similar curb weights, you’re sure to feel the difference when you take a test drive.

Summary

With so many SUVs on the market, you want to be educated enough to make a proper decision about your next vehicle. While Ford and Subaru continue to make strides in their respective ways, we believe the 2024 Ford Escape resonates with Twin Cities drivers better than the 2024 Subaru Forester. Due to its available engine options, engine power, and overall greater size, the 2024 Ford Escape is the winner of this Twin Cities showdown.
