Serving Chattanooga, Nashville, Dalton

The 2018 Ford Escape and Honda CR-V are two small crossovers that deliver sporty performance and rich interior comfort. Inside, you’ll find high-end options like leather upholstery and cutting-edge infotainment. Both crossovers are excellent options, so how do you choose just one? Our comparison guide is here to help.

Modern Comfort

The 2018 Ford Escape is our pick for modern comfort and interior space. The cabin is home to spacious, supportive seating for up to five passengers. The Escape SE trim model and up include dual-zone automatic climate control, so driver and front passenger can set two different temperatures and enjoy premium comfort. With the rear seats folded, the Escape offers 68 cubic feet of maximum cargo space for boxes and sizeable sporting equipment.

Infotainment and tech Features

We’re big proponents of Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system. It includes an 8-inch touch screen and voice-control technology, so it’s extremely accessible. Compared to the CR-V’s touch screen, the Escape’s is quick to respond and easy to use. The system’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology display smartphone apps - including your music, maps, and messaging apps – directly on the central touch screen. This gives you the power to use your phone without every actually picking it up. The Escape also makes your day fly by with modern conveniences, like keyless entry and ignition and an in-cabin 110-volt, household-style power outlet.

Engaging Performance

With its engaging powertrain and sporty handling, the Ford Escape is the crossover to beat in terms of fun. Choose all-wheel drive for an even more athletic experience. This performance technology detects slippage and sends power to all four wheels accordingly. The Escape also offers three engine options with respectable fuel economy ratings, so you can tailor your ride to suit your personal preferences. The CR-V base engine isn’t as peppy as we would like, but you can always upgrade your ride with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
