TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Ford Escape gives up a little comfort and utility in its quest to be the most exciting crossover SUV to drive.

The 2016 Nissan Rogue offers excellent fuel economy, an upscale interior, and a smooth, but uninspired ride. The available third-row seat is too small for most buyers.

TCC Likes

Sleek, hatchback-on-steroids look
Useful cargo space
Firm yet compliant ride

Surround-view cameras are a must-have feature
USB and Bluetooth streaming, standard
Lots of safety features

TCC Dislikes

Dash robs front knee room
Seats too firm for some
MyFord Touch needs more real buttons

Carryover powertrain
Noisy under hard acceleration
Still a crossover...
