Packages & Trims

Looking at two hard hitters today, the 2022 Ford Escape and 2022 Hyundai Tucson, we find two all-new SUVs offering enhanced spaciousness, accelerated performance, and advanced efficiency. But which of these two SUVs comes out on top? Both compact crossovers come in a variety of different trims. A 2022 Ford Escape arrives clad in models like the S, SE Hybrid, Titanium, and Titanium Plug-In Hybrid. Meanwhile, a 2022 Hyundai Tucson comes in available trims like SEL, N Line, and hybrid options like the Blue Hybrid. Also, an Escape offers three available customization packages, including the SE Sport Appearance Package, SEL Stealth AWD Package, and the Titanium Elite Package. Meanwhile, a Tucson merely offers the Convenience Package and Premium Package, leaving much to be desired from a customization point of view.

Power & Efficiency

With our sights on the 2022 Ford Escape, we find three available powertrains, including a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder or the 200-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission and your choice of all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. Enjoy top-of-the-line fuel efficiency with 28 city and 34 highway miles per gallon, as seen with the 2.0-liter gas engine, or spend less time at the pump with the 2.5-liter hybrid engine, which nets an impressive 44 city and 37 highway miles per gallon. Shifting gears, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson comes standard with a weaker 187-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that comes up short with a 26 city and 33 highway mpg. Hyundai does offer a hybrid version of the Tucson. Still, it can't keep up while only offering a shallow 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid engine that settles for 38 miles per gallon across the city and highway.

Space, Safety, and Capabilities

At the wheel, peace of mind is a top priority. While the Tucson offers adequate safety features like Blind Spot Monitor, a Collision Avoidance Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist, the Escape ups the ante with fully integrated Ford Co-Pilot 360 technologies. These include Automatic High Beams, Blind Spot Monitoring with Cross-Traffic Alert, and Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking. Additionally, a 2022 Ford Escape offers hardened confidence with other available enhancements like Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, Voice-Activated Navigation, and a Rear View Camera. The Escape provides safety at an elevated and more refined rate. While both compact SUVs offer comfortable cargo space, the 2022 Ford Escape offers more front legroom and headroom than the 2022 Hyundai Tucson, leaving superior comfort for the driver and front passenger. A Ford Escape also comes out on top regarding towing capabilities with a maximum of up to 3,500 pounds, in contrast to the Hyundai Tucson and its maximum towing capacity of only up to 2,000 pounds.
