Looking at a Honda CR-V? How about a new Ford Escape?

 

 

2014 Ford Escape vs. 2014 Honda CR-V

 

Both of these vehicles are top sellers, seat 5 passengers, have 4 cylinder engines and have optional AWD, but which is a better all around buy?

In regards to changes, the Ford Escape has added the optional foot-operated lift gate and class II trailer-towing package. The CR-V hasn't made any changes since it's redesign in 2012. Ford discontinued the SEL trim and stuck with the SE and Titanium, with three engine options all available with the 6-speed automatic transmission. The CR-V is available in FWD and AWD, three trim levels and one engine. The CR-V stands on top slightly with fuel economy with 26 combined Hwy/city. However, Ford takes the edge when it comes to horsepower and torque offering 240 horsepower on the Titanium model with the 2.0l Ecoboost.

The Honda CR-V topped the Escape receiving a 5 star crash-test rating from NHTSA, where Ford received 4 stars. Honda definitely will protect you in a crash, but the Ford comes out on top with safety-related technology.

Let's talk technology. Technology isn't for all consumers, so this could go either way. Honda offers Pandora internet radio, which Ford does not. Technology they share are: USB Port, back-up camera, Bluetooth, dual climate, premium sound and satellite radio. Ford runs with the win on technology offering on top of all of that: SOS Post Crash Alert, Torque vectoring control, MyKey, 911 Assist, MyFord Touch, Keyless entry, push-start button, Blind Spot Alerts, Cross Traffic alerts and power-lift gate. So, if you are a the type that thrives off of new technology, the Ford Escape is a great choice for you. However, if those options are something you would never use, it's a toss-up.

One great option that the CR-V does offer that would have to be added after-market on the Escape is the DVD rear entertainment system.

Overall, both great choices. The Honda CR-V may be said that it has better practicality, but the Ford Escape offers better value, greater technology and variety when it comes to options available.
