Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Ford Escape than the Honda CR-V.
The Ford Escape will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V.
Convenience
The Ford Escape requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda CR-V, making it more convenient to drive.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Ford Escape is somewhat more expensive than the Honda CR-V.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Ford Escape will cost more in terms of transportation costs than the Honda CR-V.

When looking at overall length, the Ford Escape takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Honda CR-V.
Handling
The Ford Escape has a larger turning radius than the Honda CR-V, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Ford Escape will do just as well as the Honda CR-V, since they have about the same towing capacity.
The Ford Escape has a little less horsepower than the Honda CR-V.
Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Ford Escape doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Honda CR-V.
Utility

The Ford Escape has significantly less cargo capacity than the Honda CR-V.
