The Escape (except S) offers optional parking sensors to help warn the driver about vehicles, pedestrians or other obstacles behind or, optionally, in front of the vehicle. The Renegade doesn't offer a front parking aid.

The Escape Titanium's optional driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Renegade doesn't offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the Escape and the Renegade have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, front-wheel drive, height-adjustable front shoulder belts, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, available crash mitigating brakes, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems and rear cross-path warning.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on new vehicles. In this test, results indicate that the Ford Escape is safer than the Jeep Renegade:

	Escape	Renegade
OVERALL STARS	5 Stars	4 Stars
	Driver
STARS	5 Stars	4 Stars
Leg Forces (l/r)	233/311 lbs.	343/366 lbs.
	Passenger
STARS	4 Stars	4 Stars
Chest Compression	.4 inches	.7 inches
Neck Stress	175 lbs.	221 lbs.

New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does side impact tests on new vehicles. In this test, which crashes the vehicle into a flat barrier at 38.5 MPH, results indicate that the Ford Escape is safer than the Jeep Renegade:

	Escape	Renegade

For better traction, the Escape has larger tires than the Renegade (235/55R17 vs. 215/65R16). The Escape's tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Renegade (235/55R17 vs. 225/55R18).

The Escape's standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 55 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Renegade's standard 65 series tires. The Escape's optional tires have a lower 45 series profile than the Renegade's optional 55 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Escape has standard 17-inch wheels. Smaller 16-inch wheels are standard on the Renegade. The Escape's optional 19-inch wheels are larger than the 18-inch wheels optional on the Renegade.

The Escape has standard front and rear gas-charged shocks for better control over choppy roads. The Renegade's suspension doesn't offer gas-charged shocks.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Escape's wheelbase is 4.7 inches longer than on the Renegade (105.9 inches vs. 101.2 inches).

The Escape Titanium AWD handles at .85 G's, while the Renegade Latitude 4x4 pulls only .74 G's of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Escape Titanium AWD executes Motor Trend's “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.7 seconds quicker than the Renegade Trailhawk 4x4 (27.3 seconds @ .6 average G's vs. 29 seconds @ .58 average G's).

For excellent aerodynamics, the Escape has standard flush composite headlights. The Renegade has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The front grille of the Escape (except 2.0L ECOBoost) uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Renegade doesn't offer active grille shutters.

As tested by Car and Driver while at idle, the interior of the Escape Titanium is quieter than the Renegade Limited 4x4 (39 vs. 41 dB).

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.

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.
