Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Escape than in the Nissan ARIYA. 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 Nissan ARIYA.

The Ford Escape is about the same width as the Nissan ARIYA. When looking at overall length, the Ford Escape takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan ARIYA.

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

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Escape has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan ARIYA.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Escape does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan ARIYA.
