Style

When you try the Ford Escape through our online test drive, you can also check out the new style that accompanies the SUV in 2020. The Escape gets some design changes from front to back. Changes start on the front end with a reshaped grille that is more dynamic and visually appealing. The Escape comes with roof rails for a sharp look. Starting with the second trim, called the SE, the 2020 Escape gets 17-inch alloy wheels. The SEL, which is a trim near the top of the lineup, has some additional exterior elements including larger 18-inch wheels and a hands-free liftgate. The top trim, which is the Titanium, has 19-inch wheels. It also gets LED headlights. The Honda has some styling design changes as well, but its look is still not as fresh or modern as the Escape's. There are fewer customization and trim-specific differences with the Honda. Roof rails are not standard on the Honda, and it does not have the wide range of tires available with the Ford.

Interior

The Ford Escape has a new touchscreen in 2020, and it gets a few other minor interior updates as well. There are many notable features on all trim levels, and there are some trim-specific differences to take note of as well. WiFi is included on all trim levels of the Ford Escape. The first Escape trim level gets a 4.2-inch infotainment screen. Starting on the second trim you'll get an upgrade to a bigger eight-inch touchscreen display and more functions, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There are two USB charging outlets to start with. The other trims add on even more USB charging capacity. Premium features such as leather seats and a panoramic sunroof come with the top trims, too. While the Escape gets six speakers for its base sound system, the Honda only starts out with a four-speaker sound system. WiFi is not standard on the Honda CR-V, and the largest touchscreen display that you can get is seven inches rather than the eight-inch display that comes with the Ford.
