• Craving performance? The Ford Escape offers engines that pack up to 245 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque while the Honda CR-V tops out at 190 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, so the Escape is the clear choice for thrill seekers.

• To keep passengers comfortable, the Ford Escape comes with more legroom for the front row and a wider back seat than what you'll find in the Honda CR-V, so, even with five passengers, no one feels cramped. Plus, the Escape offers a panoramic sunroof that gives the cabin a fresher feel with more light and air than the Honda CR-V and its smaller sunroof.
• The Ford Escape also offers a range of features, like skid plates for those looking to explore and Enhanced Active Park Assist for trickier parking jobs, that car shoppers won't get to enjoy in the Honda CR-V no matter how much you pay.
