2017 Ford Escape vs. Toyota RAV4: Design Comparison
Both the 2017 Ford Escape and the Toyota RAV4 are crossover SUVs that are sleek and modern on the outside and roomy enough for 5 on the inside. The Escape offers some convenience features such as turn-by-turn navigation and optional leather upholstery that the RAV4 doesn't, though. In addition, you get greater front head room, front hip room, front leg room, rear hip room, rear head room and rear leg room in the Escape than you would in the RAV4.
2017 Ford Escape vs. Toyota RAV4: Performance Facts
At the base trim level, both the 2017 Ford Escape and the Toyota RAV4 are powered by 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engines capable of similar fuel economy paired with a 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission. Both SUVs are front-wheel drive at this trim level with all-wheel drive available as an option. The RAV4 stops there with engine choices, though, while the Escape offers a more powerful 1.5-liter 240-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine at upper trim levels.
2017 Ford Escape vs. Toyota RAV4: Safety Information
Both the 2017 Ford Escape and the Toyota RAV4 are well-equipped with standard safety features including a rearview camera, multiple airbags, antilock brakes, traction control and stability control. The Escape offers MyKey technology that allows you to set limits for secondary drivers. A Driver assistance suite of technology is available in the RAV4 as standard and in the Escape as an option at every trim level. Both vehicles fared well in IIHS testing, both offer all-wheel drive as an option and both earned 5 stars overall in NHTSA testing. A closer look, though, shows that the RAV4 only earned 4 stars in front crash protection, a category that the Escape earned 5 stars in.
