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 Venue doesn't offer a memory 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 Venue 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 Venue SEL/Denim's passenger windows don't open or close automatically.
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 Venue doesn't offer an exterior PIN entry system, and its extra cost Blue Link 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 Venue's fixed intermittent wipers only have one fixed delay setting, so the driver will have to manually switch them between slow and intermittent. The Escape Titanium's standard wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield.
The Escape Titanium's standard rear view mirror has an automatic dimming feature. This mirror can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on it, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Venue doesn't offer the luxury of an automatic dimming rear view mirror.
On extremely cold winter days, the Escape SEL/Titanium's standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up. The Venue doesn't offer a heated steering wheel.
The Escape SE/SEL/Titanium has a standard center folding armrest for the rear passengers. A center armrest helps make rear passengers more comfortable. The Venue doesn't offer a rear seat center armrest.
The Escape Titanium's standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won't have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The Venue doesn't offer dual zone air conditioning.
To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Escape (except S) 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 Venue doesn't offer an adaptive cruise control.
The Escape Titanium has a 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Venue doesn't offer a house-current electrical outlet.
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 Venue doesn't offer an automated parking system.
