2020 Ford Escape vs 2020 Jeep Cherokee

Serving Wellington, OH

If you have a big family, it’s essential to choose a roomy vehicle. A three-row SUV may prove to be the perfect option. While the segment gives you many options to choose from, the 2020 Ford Explorer remains one of the most popular. Not only does the redesigned Explorer provide more passenger space and cargo room, but it also offers several new features. Let’s find out how the 2020 Ford Explorer compares to the 2020 Kia Telluride.

Performance

For 2020, the Explorer comes standard with an EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. It cranks out a reliable 300 horsepower, which is nine more horsepower than you get from the Kia Telluride’s standard V6 engine. If you want to have some serious fun, check out the electrifying Explorer ST. Under its hood rests a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine with 400 horsepower. A 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds ranks the Explorer ST among the quickest three-row SUVs in the class. Meanwhile, sports-tuned suspension dampers ensure especially tight handling. While the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, Kia lists the Telluride with a 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity.

Safety

Both of these SUVs offer some helpful safety features. However, certain technologies are exclusive to the 2020 Ford Explorer. If you fail to brake in time to avoid a collision, Evasive Steering Assist helps you safely maneuver around the vehicle. You can also take advantage of Active Park Assist 2.0. At the touch of a button, this system steers you into tight parallel or perpendicular spots. When using Active Park Assist 2.0, life in the city will be far more enjoyable.

Fuel Efficiency

The 2020 Ford Explorer promises to deliver an efficient performance. When equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, it’s rated by the EPA to return 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Meanwhile, a newly available hybrid powertrain increases fuel economy to a combined 28 mpg. By comparison, the Telluride returns up to 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. If you’re looking to spend less money at the pump, the Ford Explorer is the clear winner.
