Having plenty of space is a top priority for many Marshall drivers, and despite being categorized in the small SUV segment, comparing the 2019 Chevy Equinox vs. 2019 Ford Escape makes it clear that you can't judge interior dimensions based on external stature. However, the new Escape promises much more space, as you'll see below.
