The Ford Escape and Nissan Rogue are compact SUVs, which makes space a priority. While front seats have comparable room, there’s more room in the rear seats of the Escape. When it comes to comfort, however, the Rogue has superior front seats with a good balance between comfort an support. If it’s cargo room that’s your priority, then the Rogue is a better choice with more room for cargo and a low load floor that makes loading heavy cargo easier.
