When three different drivers share the Escape Titanium, the memory seats and mirrors make it convenient for all three. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver's seat position and outside mirror angle. The Renegade doesn't offer a memory system.
The Escape Titanium's standard easy entry system glides the driver's seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Renegade doesn't offer an easy entry system.
The Escape's optional front and rear power windows all open or close with one touch of the switches. The Renegade's rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to close them fully.
In case you lock your keys in your vehicle, or don't have them with you, you can let yourself in using the Escape SE/Titanium's exterior keypad. The Renegade doesn't offer an exterior keypad entry system, and its extra cost Uconnect Access can't unlock the doors if the vehicle doesn't have cell phone reception or the driver can't contact the service.
The Escape's standard speed-sensitive wipers speed up when the vehicle does, so that the driver doesn't have to continually adjust the speed of the wipers. The Renegade Sport/Latitude's standard manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.
Consumer Reports rated the Escape's headlight performance “Good,” a higher rating than the Renegade's headlights, which were rated “Fair.”
The Escape has a standard automatic headlight on/off feature. When the ignition is on, the headlights automatically turn on at dusk and off after dawn. When the ignition turns off, the headlights turn off after a delay timed to allow you to securely get to your front door. The automatic headlight on/off feature is not available on the Renegade Sport.
While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors available for the Escape Titanium detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Renegade doesn't offer automatic dimming high beams.
The Escape has standard power remote mirrors. The Renegade only comes with remote mirrors at extra cost. Without them the driver will have to roll down the windows and reach across the car to adjust the mirrors.
Both the Escape and the Renegade offer rear vents. For greater rear passenger comfort, the Escape has standard rear air conditioning vents to keep rear occupants cool in summer or warm in winter. The Renegade doesn't offer rear air conditioning vents, only heat vents.
To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Escape Titanium offers an optional Adaptive Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Renegade doesn't offer an adaptive cruise control.
Bluetooth wireless connectivity is standard on the Escape, connecting the driver and passenger's cell phones to the vehicle systems. This allows them to use the vehicle's stereo and hand controls to place calls safely and easily. Bluetooth costs extra on the Renegade.
The Escape Titanium's optional Active Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The Renegade doesn't offer an automated parking system.
