Seating in the 2021 Honda CR-V

Customers currently weighing their options for a compact SUV certainly have plenty of vehicles to choose from, which is why Honda of Chantilly is here to bring you up to speed on what the 2021 Honda CR-V can do. In fact, rather than merely pointing out its features and capabilities, we’re prepared to go the extra mile by comparing it to a competitor like the 2021 Ford Escape! Be sure to contact us with any questions on your mind.

Cabin Tech

From safety to entertainment, the 2021 CR-V has your needs covered whenever you take the wheel. For example, standard Pandora®1 allows you to discover new bands and genres by finding music that’s similar to what you already know and love, making it easy to stay engaged when traveling long distances. For enhanced quality and selection, opt for available HD Radio™2! Unfortunately, if choose the 2021 Escape, neither of these will be accessible, which could lead to tepid cruises. In fact, this also applies to safety, as the model from Ford doesn’t have anything quite like the Honda’s standard Road Departure Mitigation System3. When this amenity notices that you’re about to drive off course, it applies steering torque and braking power to guide you back. 

Comfort

No matter what’s on the docket for the day, you can count on the 2021 Honda CR-V to step up and rise to the occasion. By stowing the rear seats, you’ll be able to stow items in 75.8 cubic ft. of maximum cargo room4 to ensure that nothing gets left behind when you’re heading to Daniels Run Park for a picnic. The same can’t be said about the 2021 Ford Escape since it only offers up to 65.4 cubic ft. of total storage space5. When we change gears and add comfort to the equation, the CR-V really begins to shine, as it comes standard with automatic climate control to keep the whole cabin at a comfortable temperature. Plus, with the optional 12-way power driver’s seat, finding your preferred position is hardly a struggle! With the Escape, you’ll have to settle for standard manual climate control and an optional 10-way power chair for the driver.

Performance

Though these two SUVs are a bit more closely matched when it comes to performance, the Honda CR-V still ends up on top in the end. Thanks to its standard 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine, this set of wheels can churn out 190 horsepower6 and 179 lb.-ft. of torque7, which compares favorably the Ford Escape and its standard 1.5L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder system’s 181 horsepower8 and 190 lb.-ft. of torque8. In fact, they’re even neck and neck with respect to efficiency, as both achieve 28/34 MPG city/hwy9,10 when equipped with 2WD. However, with AWD, the model from Honda maintains 27/32 MPG city/hwy9, whereas the Escape falls short with its 26/31 MPG city/hwy10 fuel economy rating.

Honda of Chantilly is certain you’ll prefer the CR-V when deciding between the 2021 Honda CR-V vs 2021 Ford Escape near Fairfax, VA. If you still need some convincing, drop by the dealership for a test drive!
