Three Ways in Which the Ford Escape Outshines the Toyota RAV4

After four generations as one of the most popular compact SUVs in the greater Portland area, the Ford Escape continues to impress customers at Rowe Ford Westbrook with its eye-catching style, range of exciting features, and smooth performance. Available now at our Westbrook dealership, this five-passenger Ford is ready for your test drive, today.

While the Ford Escape has everything that Scarborough, ME drivers are looking for, and then some, we also know that it's not the only SUV in its class that is competing for your attention. Similar models, such as the Toyota RAV4, appear, at least on the surface, to have a lot in common with our Escape SUV.

However, when you look a little closer, you'll find that the Ford model has more to offer than the RAV4. In fact, the new Ford Escape includes:

1. More room for you and your passengers. Look for more legroom in the front and backseat of the Escape, as well as more front seat headroom.
2. Higher performance and torque output. With a number of engines available as options, the Escape offers a range of power outputs, including a top-tier, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque for its gas model. Meanwhile, the RAV4 gas model tops out at only 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
3. Greater number of standard tech and convenience features. From a standard power-operated liftgate to standard keyless entry and ignition, the Ford Escape has more of the amenities that our customers want. Best of all, they start with the base model, while the RAV4 makes you move up in trims to get many of the same features that come standard with every Escape.
