Compact SUV Clash – The 2020 Ford Escape Reigns Supreme
We will give credit where credit is due. For years, the Honda CR-V has dominated the compact SUV industry due to its ample cargo space and stylish curb appeal. With this in mind, Ford Motor Company has taken steps to ensure that the Escape is not an afterthought. The Ford Escape has held a top spot as one of the most trusted compact SUVs on the road for years, but now it’s breaking new ground. The 2020 Ford Escape will provide slightly more headroom than the CR-V, providing passengers with a more comfortable ride. We know; that’s not enough to make you knock down the doors of our showroom to purchase a 2020 Ford Escape. So, let’s talk about the best-in-class second-row legroom—40 inches. Worried about cargo space? The 2020 Escape provides 37.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 65.4 cubic feet when the second-row seats are lowered. Still not enough? The Ford Escape can haul up to 3,500 pounds, which is considerably more than the Honda CR-V. But again… we’ll leave the decision up to you.
The Power to Move
The base engine offered in the 2020 Ford Escape is a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder pumping out 180 horsepower! The Honda CR-V has the slight advantage of 184 horsepower. However, step up to the 2020 Escape’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine and upgrade to 250 horsepower with 275 pounds/foot of torque. The Honda CR-V cannot compete with that level of power. I bet you’re thinking, “Yeah, all of that power sounds great, but how much will that cost me at the gas pump?”. The predicted fuel economy is an improvement for the gas engines, and Ford has revamped the Escape Hybrid for 2020, giving consumers all of the choices that they deserve.
