If you color within the lines, only a few measure up to the same narrow definition of a compact SUV as the 2009 Ford Escape.
Many people admire the styling of the Saturn Vue.
Like the Escape, the Vue offers a hybrid option (a second hybrid choice is on the way for the Vue).
The Hyundai Tucson drives more like the pre-2009 Escapes, but does so with a low price and an especially long warranty.
In terms of driving dynamics, the Honda CR-V is one of our all-time favorites, but some people have a hard time getting past the SUV's styling and the lack of optional V-6 power.
However, the SUV that comes closest to the Escape is the Dodge Journey.
In terms of styling, the Journey has strong looks that turn heads and plenty of features inside, such as multiple cubbies and rich infotainment options.
However, the Journey's interior design isn't pleasing to the eye, and the materials feel subpar for the category—not just in comparison to the Escape.
