Upstarts and mainstays: Can the newbie Hornet ruffle the feathers of the veteran Escape?
The generation gap is alive and well in the compact-SUV segment. Take the Dodge Hornet and the Ford Escape: Both hit all the compact-crossover requisites: four doors, seating for five, all-wheel drive, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. But 23 years the senior and well into its fourth generation, the Escape is an elder statesman.
Youthful attitude and styling, quick reflexes, supportive sport seats.LOWS: Limited passenger volume, personality has no 'off' switch, overly firm ride.VERDICT: With edgy style and the manners to match, the Hornet loves to romp, but its firm ride and aggressive throttle tip-in never take a break.Though its elevated ride height helps the Hornet identify as a crossover, it looks a little forced, given its otherwise youthful and mildly aggressive appearance.
Speedy, linear power delivery, impressive highway fuel economy and range.LOWS: Acres of cheap-feeling black plastic inside, front seat bases are a little short, unsupportive backrests.VERDICT: Quick, practical, and versatile, but free of frills and short on personality.Just as its styling is low-key, so too is the Escape's dynamic modus operandi. At 1.9 seconds to 30 mph and 15.2 to 100 mph, it's 0.2 and 0.9 second quicker, respectively, than the Hornet.
