Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Escape than in the Volkswagen Tiguan.
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 Volkswagen Tiguan.
Convenience
The Ford Escape requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Volkswagen Tiguan, 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). Whether you pick the Ford Escape or the Volkswagen Tiguan, it's going to cost you about the same.
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 Volkswagen Tiguan.
Dimensions
Since the Ford Escape is much wider than the Volkswagen Tiguan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
The Ford Escape is slightly shorter than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which may make it easier to park.
Drivetrain
The Ford Escape has much lower torque than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Handling
The Ford Escape has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Tiguan, 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 Volkswagen Tiguan, since they have about the same towing capacity.
The Ford Escape has a little less horsepower than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Utility
The Ford Escape has less seating than the Volkswagen Tiguan, making the Volkswagen Tiguan the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
The Ford Escape has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
Warranty
The basic warranty of the Ford Escape is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Volkswagen Tiguan.
