VIDEO Toyota RAV4 vs. 2020 Ford Escape | SUV Comparison TV commercial 2020 • This Crossover SUV competitive comparison features the 2020 Toyota RAV4 vs. 2020 Ford Escape. See why the RAV4 is Toyota's best-selling small SUV model.
00:00 - [Narrator] In 1994, the Toyota RAV4 kicked off
00:03 the compact crossover SUV segment,
00:05 a segment that's since grown
00:07 into what's arguably now the most important in the industry.
00:10 Home to some of the fiercest competition around,
00:13 this class is now packed with contenders aiming
00:15 to give RAV4 a run for its money, like this Ford Escape.
00:20 Let's learn a little more about these two.
00:23 A 10-vehicle lineup means there's a RAV4 for everyone,
00:26 whether it's a high-tech hybrid grade
00:28 or a capable off-road-focused grade ready for adventure.
00:33 RAV4 performance means finding the right balance
00:35 of power and efficiency, with its lineup touting specs
00:38 as high as 219 horsepower
00:40 and an EPA-estimated 40 miles per gallon combined.
00:45 Safety is priority for RAV4,
00:47 which is evident in features
00:49 like standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.0
00:51 and available Blind Spot Monitor
00:53 with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
00:57 The RAV4 family consists of 10 grades,
00:59 two of which are geared toward off-roading,
01:01 and four with high-tech hybrid power.
01:04 Additionally, every grade features some form
01:06 of all-wheel drive, whether standard or available.
01:10 Escape is offered in five grades,
01:12 one of which is exclusively hybrid
01:14 and another with a hybrid option available.
01:17 And while all-wheel drive is offered on all five,
01:19 it doesn't come standard on any.
01:23 RAV4 stands out in the crowd not just
01:26 with its bold design,
01:27 but also with standard features like full LED lighting,
01:30 and available features
01:31 like a panoramic moonroof and two-tone paint.
01:35 While Escape was just redesigned for the 2020 model year,
01:39 it only offers LED headlights on its top Titanium grade.
01:45 Despite the head-turning style,
01:46 RAV4's interior doesn't come up short on practicality.
01:50 This is evident in its max cargo volume
01:52 roughly three times the capacity
01:54 of a standard four-person hot tub.
01:57 Escape can't match this storage capacity,
02:00 and it offers even less for the hybrid grades.
02:05 Regardless of model, RAV4 includes
02:07 a touchscreen Audio Multimedia platform
02:09 with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto
02:11 and Amazon Alexa compatibility,
02:13 as well as a SiriusXM All Access three-month trial.
02:18 Escape does have a similar multimedia system called Sync 3,
02:22 but it isn't offered on every model.
02:26 Every RAV4 comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0,
02:29 a suite of active safety systems
02:31 that include Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
02:34 and Road Sign Assist.
02:37 Escape does have a standard safety bundle
02:39 called Co-Pilot360,
02:41 but it doesn't include adaptive cruise control
02:43 or sign recognition features.
02:47 RAV4's performance is obvious
02:49 in its available off-road-ready features
02:51 like torque-vectoring all-wheel drive,
02:53 Multi-terrain Select, Falken all-terrain tires,
02:56 not to mention its ground clearance.
02:58 Additionally, all models, even the rugged Adventure
03:01 and TRD Off-Road grades,
03:02 are rated to tow and come equipped
03:04 with trailer sway control technology.
03:07 Depending on model, the 203-horsepower engine
03:10 can tow up to 3,500 pounds
03:12 while still having EPA fuel economy rating estimates up
03:15 to 30 miles per gallon combined.
03:17 And speaking of efficiency, RAV4 hybrid grades
03:20 are EPA-estimated at 40 miles per gallon combined.
03:25 Escape's off-road capability can't come close,
03:27 plus its default engine makes 181 horsepower
03:31 and isn't rated to tow.
03:32 Select models, however, do top out at 250 horsepower
03:36 and can go toe-to-toe with RAV4's max towing capacity
03:39 but then it can't match RAV4's EPA-estimated
03:42 30-mpg combined fuel economy.
03:46 RAV4 is Toyota's best-selling small SUV model,
03:49 and this comparison makes it easy to see why.
03:52 It offers approachable price points spread
03:54 across a wide range of models,
03:56 all of which also include the ToyotaCare Maintenance Plan
03:59 and Roadside Assistance.
04:00 Round this off with a Top Safety Pick+ rating
04:03 by the IIHS and a Best Retained Value brand award
04:06 by Edmunds, and it's safe to say RAV4
04:09 won't be stepping down from its throne anytime soon.- advertisement spot 2020
