There are a number of reasons you might be considering the Ford Escape-for small and growing families, a crossover SUV provides the right-size passenger space you need, without sacrificing your passenger room, either.

So, without any further delay, watch the Ford Escape take on its rivals in the Honda CR-V, Toyota Venza, Chevrolet Equinox, and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport.

Dare to Compare: Ford Escape vs. the Competition:

 

The Honda CR-V

The Toyota Venza

The Chevrolet Equinox

The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport


Like the Ford Escape, the CR-V has a reputation for longevity and each are bolstered by strong sales records. We think Huntingburg, PA drivers will prefer the upscale, sophisticated environment inside the Ford Escape to the formulaic and stiff-feeling Honda CR-V, though the upper-level trims for each SUV are close to luxury, each offering faux woods and genuine leather. It's a tough battle, but this is a comparison worth checking out.

If you're not too familiar with the Toyota Venza, you might be in the majority. Still, this quirky crossover competes with the Ford Escape, though it falls short of the Escape in quite a few key categories, like powertrains, where the Venza is severely underpowered compared to the Ford Escape. Style tends to be another area where the Venza raises eyebrows, but not always in a good way.

The Chevrolet Equinox is a solid performer in the crossover segment, but the Ford Escape outperforms it pretty consistently, with more impressive storage capacity and more fuel efficiency to offer Petersburg drivers.




Not to be confused with the bigger SUV of a similar name, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport competes directly with the Ford Escape, and while there is a good amount to compare here, we think folks will appreciate the fact that the Escape can pull heavier loads than the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport.
