2022 Ford Escape vs. 2022 Toyota RAV4: Get more out of the Escape

Completely redesigned last year, the Ford Escape offers everything you need in terms of power, cargo space, and safety technologies to take on the best in the segment. With its long list of improvements, the Ford Escape can face its rivals with confidence, including the 2022 Toyota RAV4. The Escape has the power, performance, and interior space to meet your needs.

The 2022 Ford Escape features a powerful 1.5-litre inline-four engine that produces 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. Although on paper this engine seems less powerful than the RAV4, on the road it's a different story as it delivers torque at lower revs thanks to the magic of turbocharging.

Obviously, those who absolutely want the most powerful engine will be pampered with the 2.0-litre EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder engine that develops 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. No engine in the 2022 RAV4 range can compete with this engine.

In the 1.5-litre engine, fuel consumption is impressive with an average of 7.9 litres per 100 kilometres, which is slightly better than the RAV4 although the Escape offers better performance.

One of the major improvements made to the Ford Escape in 2020 is cargo space. The rear seat can now slide out for extra storage or legroom, and the Escape offers much the same cargo space as the RAV4.

In closing, the 2022 Ford Escape benefits from cutting-edge technologies from its base model. More affordable than the Toyota RAV4, the Escape comes standard with blind-spot monitoring, lane departure prevention, automatic braking, and more.
