Three reasons to buy a 2021 Honda CR-V instead of a 2021 Ford Escape

There are a lot of sport utility vehicles offered on the market right now. Finding the right one for you and your lifestyle depends on firstly figuring out what you need and then determining which models best suits your needs. The reality is that with so many options available on the market, finding the right sport utility vehicle is actually easy once you know what you are looking for.


Take for example the Honda CR-V’s interior space. There is a lot more cargo space in the CR-V than in the Ford Escape, and there's also more leg room in the back and more Headroom as well.  Moreover, both the 2021 Honda CR-V and the 2021 Ford Escape feature a base turbocharged engine, but the Honda CR-V is more fuel efficient. It also has more horsepower. Let's take a look at three reasons why the CR-V might be the better purchase.


It has more interior space


The 2021 Honda CR-V offers 1100 L of total cargo space with all seats in place, and over 2,100 L with the rear seats lowered. The Ford Escape, on the other hand, offers less than 1000 L with all seats in place, and less than 2,000 litres with the rear seats folded down. In other words, regardless of how you look at it, the Honda CR-V is more spacious than the Ford Escape.


It has better performance


The 2021 Ford Escape is powered by a turbocharged three-cylinder engine that delivers 181 horsepower.  Meanwhile, the 2021 Honda CR-V offers 190 horsepower. The big difference here, however, is that the CR-V is a four-cylinder engine while the Escape is a 3 cylinder. This makes quite a difference in the way both behave on the road.


It has better fuel economy


 The 2021 Honda CR-V averages 8.3 L per 100 km in the city, and 7 litres per 100km on the highway. The Ford Escape averages 8.7 L per 100 km in the city, and 7.1 litres per 100km on the highway.
