TCC’s Bottom Line

There’s a lot to like about the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, even if the best configuration requires a careful hand on the order sheet.

The 2019 Ford Escape works well as a crossover SUV, but has the ride and handling of a smartly tuned hatchback.

TCC Likes

Wide range of engine, trim choices
Comfortable interior
Good ride and handling

Sleek hatchback shape
Good cargo space
Crisp handling

TCC Dislikes

Diesel misses the mark
Advanced safety gear costs extra—too much extra
Some awkward design angles

Busy, space-robbing dash
Seats can feel too firm
EPA ratings are middling
