Versatility and Capability

Like every potential compact crossover SUV buyers, we look at these two criteria: versatility and capability. The 2015 Ford Escape boasts an all-wheel drive mode capability which works great on slippery roads , paved or not.

However, the 2015 Jeep Renegade tops this capability and provides more: It offers two all-wheel drive systems, the Jeep Active Drive Low and the Jeep Active Drive. These two state-of-the-art Jeep technologies improve fuel consumption efficiency by disconnecting the rear axle when your current driving platform and speed doesn't require you to use one.

The 2015 Jeep Renegade continues to beat the 2015 Ford Escape to the punch when it comes to versatility as it offers the Jeep Selec-Terrain, which utilizes the optimal performance of its manual transmission and all-wheel drive technology so it feels like you're still driving on paved roads, regardless whether you're driving through snow and driving on sand, mud, and rocks. 

Cost efficiency

The 2015 Ford Escape's Auto-transmission packs more horsepower than the 2015 Jeep Renegade, but it does come at a hefty price tag at $23,450, not to mention the compromised fuel efficiency of automatic transmission vehicles.

The 2015 Jeep Renegade offsets this fuel efficiency problem with its manual transmission that offers a better MPG at 24 when you're driving through the city and 31 on the highway. While it packs a little less horsepower than the 2015 Ford Escape at 160 to 168, it does compensate significantly when it comes to torque beating the Ford Escape to the punch 184 to 170.
