Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs Ford Escape Hybrid
Drivers around Leesburg, The Villages, Apopka, Mount Dora, and Clermont, FL, are looking for a way to get around town while using less fuel. Enter two top eco-friendly SUVs: the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid.
These two rides combine an efficient motor with a hardworking battery to give you more time on the road and less at the pump. But they are more than just their fuel economy. Your friends at Phillips Toyota are here to give you an inside look so you can better decide on the right hybrid model for you.
Uncompromising Muscle
When it comes to what’s under the hood of the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid, you’ll find power has not been sacrificed in the name of efficiency. The Escape Hybrid delivers an enjoyable 165 horsepower for a spirited performance on the highway.
Taking it one step further, though, is the 2.5-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder hybrid engine in the RAV4. This powertrain cranks out 219 total horsepower for an even more commanding performance. This added power also helps this SUV tow a maximum of 1,750 pounds when properly equipped.
You may have to leave your teardrop trailer at home with the Escape Hybrid since its towing capacity maxes out at 1,500 pounds when properly configured.
Protection for Miles and Miles
Since you’ll have dynamic powertrains with impressive efficiency keeping you on the road for longer, you’ll want to know you’re staying out of harm’s way. So, coming standard in these hybrid SUVs are the following driver-assistive systems:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Automatic High Beams
These systems are designed to keep you out of harm’s way. They can even bring you to a complete stop if needed to avoid a frontal collision.
To take your security to the next level, the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid also has standard Road Sign Assist, which reads the road and alerts you to detected do not enter, speed limit, yield, and stop signs.
You may miss out on a key piece of information when behind the wheel of the Ford Escape Hybrid, though, since a comparable system is not available.
Refined Comfort
As you enjoy a protected and secure journey, you can kick back in the heated front seats. These available amenities are designed to turn on quickly to keep you and your co-pilot nice and toasty in your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid.
Your rear passengers will be left out in the cold with the Escape Hybrid since there’s no heating option for the second row. If you’d like to give them the 5-star treatment, add the available heated rear outboard passenger seats to your RAV4 Hybrid.
The RAV4 Hybrid is also available with ventilated front seats to make summer exploration enjoyable, too. Once again, the Escape Hybrid falls short without cooled seating.
