The 2021 Ford Escape is an excellent compact crossover by nearly every measurable standard, but the automotive landscape in 2021 is more competitive than ever. That means Hudson, IA drivers may struggle to decide between the Ford Escape and major competitors like the 2021 Toyota RAV4. Which vehicle gives customers the best bang for their buck? We would argue in favor of the 2021 Ford Escape for a few important reasons:
Reason #1: Better Performance
The 2021 Ford Escape offers a handful of engine options, giving customers choices in drivetrains. The sportiest of these is the turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine capable of producing 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. By comparison, the 2021 Toyota RAV4 offers only one engine across all trims, a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque.
Reason #2: More Leg Room
Both in terms of cargo space and legroom, the 2021 Ford Escape is the superior option. It offers 42.4 inches of legroom in the front seat and 40.7 inches in the back seat, both of which are better than the 41 inches and 37.8 inches available in the 2021 Toyota RAV4.
Reason #3: Advanced Safety Features
When it comes to advanced safety features, the two vehicles are incredibly similar, but features like forward mitigation systems, lane departure mitigation, and other top-shelf safety tech keep the 2021 Ford Escape at the head of the pack among compact crossovers.
