Highlights in the 2020 CX-5

The Ford Escape is seen by many as an excellent model. What they don’t tell you, though, is that you’ll have to climb a few trim levels to get the good stuff. As you’ll see from the table above, the similarly priced base models are a little different. The CX-5 comes with more horsepower and a lot more torque, as well as a greater towing capacity. While the Escape can be upgraded for a more powerful engine, it still doesn’t beat the 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque available in the top trim levels of the CX-5. Inside, the CX-5 offers a lot for drivers to appreciate. Versatility is the name of the game with this one, as it offers 30.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 2nd row and 59.6 cubic feet behind the 1st row. Comfort and convenience features include heated and ventilated seats, a Mazda Navigation System, 360-degree View Monitor, 8-inch color touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and much more.
