2019 Ford Escape vs 2019 Honda CR-V

Serving Wellington, OH

Many of today's car shoppers are in the market for a small crossover. While the segment has become even more competitive over the years, the 2019 Ford Escape remains one of today's best choices. Drivers love the Escape's sporty performance and array of high-tech features. Let's find out how the 2019 Ford Escape stacks up against the 2019 Honda CR-V.

Performance

Both of these small crossover SUVs are designed to offer fuel savings. Drivers seeking an especially strong performance should experience the range-topping Ford Escape Titanium. Its 2.5L EcoBoost engine is tuned to develop an exhilarating 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. By comparison, Honda rates the CR-V's available turbocharged engine to produce 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the Ford Escape offer quicker acceleration, but it can also tow a heavier load. While the Escape boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, the CR-V can only tow up to 1,500 pounds.

Interior Features

Like the 2019 Ford Escape, the 2019 Honda CR-V comes standard with a satisfying amount of standard equipment. Nevertheless, there are certain features only available on the new Escape. You and your family will especially appreciate the Escape's available Wi-Fi hot spot. Everyone will be able to easily gain access to the web. While an upgraded stereo system is available on the CR-V, it can't match the sound quality of the Escape's 10-speaker Sony premium audio system. You can also take advantage of the Escape's available Active Park Assist system, which automatically steers you into parking spaces.

Exterior Styling

Most people will agree that the 2019 Honda CR-V is a stylish ride. However, it can't match the 2019 Ford Escape's curb appeal. Several eye-catching appearance enhancements are available for the new Escape. Featuring projector headlamps with black bezels and an exclusive set of 19-inch Ebony Black wheels, the SE Sport Appearance package is bound to turn heads. Meanwhile, Magnetic-painted front and rear skid plates help the available SEL Sport Appearance Package to look even more special.

As you can see, the 2019 Ford Escape has some key advantages over the 2019 Honda CR-V. It's more fun to drive, offers some exclusive features, and attracts more attention with its sleek exterior styling.
