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 Toyota RAV4.
Convenience

Handling
The Ford Escape has a larger turning radius than the Toyota RAV4, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
