In terms of ability to conquer slippery and rough terrain, both the RAV4 and the Escape make it easy thanks to their available All-Wheel Drive systems and selectable drive modes. They also feature a Rear Driveline Disconnect, which stops sending power to the rear wheels when optimal efficiency is needed.

These vehicles may perform equally as well on uneven terrain, but if you’re looking for an SUV that will bring some extra pop to the daily drive, you’ll want to go with the Toyota RAV4. Its standard 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine pumps out 203 horsepower. Compare that to the 1.5L EcoBoost^® in the Escape. It tops out at just 180 horsepower.

Features like dual zone automatic climate control and heated front seats are available to ensure you and your copilot have complete control over your individually preferred temperatures.

Finding your sweet spot is also easy in both models thanks to available power-adjustable seating.

The interiors of these SUVs come equipped with advanced technology features to help keep you entertained, including:

These features make it easy to listen to your favorite songs, podcasts, and other digital features while on the go. Plus, thanks to their Wi-Fi capabilities, you can stream podcasts or find your new favorite song by browsing more than 150 SiriusXM^® channels.

Both SUVs come standard with advanced safety suites. They include a bevy of smart systems that will help keep you more aware and to help mitigate the risk of a collision. Here’s how they stack up:

Both SUVs also offer backup cameras, so you’ll be able to back into or out of parking spots with ease. The Panoramic View Monitor, however, will provide a full 360-degree Overhead View and Curb View for even greater finesse, and it’s only available with the RAV4.
