TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Ford Escape foregoes a bit of utility in the name of style and sportiness, making it one of the better crossovers to drive.

The 2017 Nissan Rogue could beat the world of compact crossover SUVs, were it not for mediocre performance and safety ratings.

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
Real-world fuel economy may not meet ratings

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