When three different drivers share the Escape SEL/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 SEL/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 Titanium offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver's line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Renegade doesn't offer a heads-up display.
The Escape SEL/Titanium's front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Renegade's rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to open or 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/SEL/Titanium's exterior PIN entry system. The Renegade doesn't offer an exterior PIN entry system, and its extra cost SiriusXM Guardian 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 Renegade only offers an automatic headlight on/off feature as an extra cost option.
Both the Escape and the Renegade offer rear vents. For greater rear passenger comfort, the Escape SE/SEL/Titanium 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.
The Escape Titanium's Active Park Assist 2.0 can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Renegade's automatic parking system requires operating the brakes and transmission to safely park.
