Ford Escape vs Honda CR-V: Engine Specs for the Ford Escape vs Honda CR-V
While both vehicles supply impressive numbers when it comes to performance, it’s the Ford Escape that’s the standout within this category. For starters, it offers two possible engines, while the CR-V only offers one. Here are the Ford Escape engines:
- 1.5L EcoBoost® engine
- 2.0L EcoBoost® engine
The 1.5L EcoBoost® engine is the standard offering. It’s able to propel you down the road to the tune of 181 horsepower. The available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine gives you even more of a thrust thanks to its 250 horsepower. Having two engines to choose from allows you to pick the one that fits better with your particular lifestyle.
The sole engine for the Honda CR-V is no match for that second Ford Escape engine. Its maximum output falls short at 190 horsepower.
