2022 Ford Escape vs. 2022 Honda CR-V

The 2022 Ford Escape gets good scores in terms of good gas mileage, and critics have proven that its engines are powerful too. One thing you will love is its comfortable sitting arrangement with a large cargo area awaiting your belongings at the back.

The 2022 Honda CR-V promises you will love its interior. It also offers great score in terms of mileage. Expect no major changes when comparing it to the 2021 edition, though.

Design & Style

Cargo space starts at 37.5 cubic feet for the Escape. It also offers plenty of soft-touch surfaces inside, and uses good materials for a more solid construction. Both rows of seats are comfortable and cushy, and there is plenty of space to move around for passengers even during long trips. It adds a rear seat sliding capability to give more room for taller adults when seated at the back.

The 2022 Honda CR-V, meanwhile, opens up 39.2 cubic feet of space when all seats are in use. That result is definitely impressive. This can sit five people comfortably, but those seated at the back, especially adults, will find its thick roof pillars kind of distracting for outward visibility. The cabin design is attractive, but it does not beat the Ford Escape.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Ford Escape uses a 4.2-inch infotainment display for its SYNC system. This can be upgraded to include an eight-inch touch screen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available features. For safety technologies, the list includes among others rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, driver drowsiness monitoring, and pedestrian detection.

The 2022 Honda CR-V uses a five-inch infotainment display which does not really coordinate well with user commands. It takes time for the unit to respond to user inputs. It does not offer smartphone integration as well. Safety wise, it has the same offerings as those given by the 2022 Ford Escape.

Performance

The 2022 Ford Escape has a rating of 28 mpg for city driving and 34 on the highway. It also releases up to 181 horsepower for its three-cylinder engine. The CR-V is equipped with a turbo-four, thus it is only but proper for it to be able to hit up to 190 horsepower when you step on the brakes.

The Bottom Line

Whether we are speaking of design and style or reliable technologies, we all have seen how the 2022 Ford Escape defeats that of the 2022 Honda CR-V. It may have one the hearts of car buyers with its higher ratings, but the CR-V still lacks the charm and authenticity of the Escape.
