Appearance

The Ford Escape and the Ford Explorer for 2021 stand firmly apart in style. The Escape is a small crossover with enviable curvature throughout the profile and across the contoured sides. The hood cascades into the honeycomb-style grille with only a hint of definition. This elongated grille sits on a rounded nose, and it is flanked on its upper corners by LED-underlined headlights. The 2021 Ford Explorer, on the other hand, is a midsize crossover SUV that has relatively flat angles through its roof and hood. The nose is rounded with horizontal bars running horizontally across a hexagonal grille. This grille integrates with dual-elemental headlights. The Explorer has a much sharper side definition with stronger accents through the rear fenders compared to the Escape.

Features

The 2021 Escape and the 2021 Explorer are impressively outfitted with the features today’s drivers want. The Escape has adaptive cruise control, a touch display screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB ports, and other equipment. The 2021 Ford Explorer has many of these same features.
