A 2.0L EcoBoost inline-four engine impresses, generating up to 250 HP and 280 lb.-ft of torque. This aluminum block promises turbocharged power; while its direct-fuel and port-injection technologies maximize resource delivery. An eight-speed automatic transmission further assists with performance, offering SelectShift precision to match every rev-line change. Pair this with a peerless suspension system (an Independent MacPherson strut-type in the front and a double-lateral link in the rear) and all-wheel-drivetrain to push the boundaries of utility.
The new Escape Platinum injects each adventure with fun. Its 2024 Toyota Rav4 Limited competitor, however, does… not.
The Limited is anchored by a 2.5L inline-four engine. Despite its larger size, this block fails to deliver the same potent power as the Platinum - generating a mere 203 HP and 183 lb.-ft of torque. A front-wheel-drivetrain further disappoints, offering reduced traction and less precise steerage during inclement conditions.
Toyota’s new Rav4 will leave families underwhelmed on the highway - and underprepared for the demands of off-roading. The Ford Escape Platinum, however, promises a bold ride.
Inside the new Escape Platinum is ActiveX seating, complemented by 10-way power adjusters and integrated heating. These chairs blend stain-resistant materials with ergonomic designs, proving ideal for family adventures; while the 60/40 fold-down configuration at the rear (paired with a seamless sliding feature) allows for a custom cabin. Additionally, this model offers ample space to enjoy:
2024 Ford Escape: Dimensions
Head Room: 40.0 inches, 39.3 inches.
Leg Room:42.4 inches, 40.7 inches.
Shoulder Room: 57.6 inches, 50.0 inches.
Cargo Volume: 37.5 cu.-ft.
The new Platinum provides an indulgent experience on the backroads - especially when compared with the 2024 Toyota Rav4 Limited.
While this model shares a similar five-passenger design to the Escape, it shaves precious inches from the cabin - and it will leave families feeling crowded. Expect limited leg room (41.0 inches, 37.8 inches), as well as only 37.4 inches of head room in the front; and, though both vehicles feature 37.5 cu.-ft of cargo volume, the Rav4 loses total space with its shorter wheelbase (105.9 inches versus 106.7 inches).
These numbers quickly assure a loss in comfort - and the need for an Escape upgrade.
Demand more than standard performance in Saskatchewan. Instead discover dynamic power and peerless comfort - with the new Escape Platinum embracing both. This Ford SUV will impress with its superior design; and it will effortlessly leave the 2024 Toyota Rav4 Limited behind.
There can be only one winner in the sport utility race - and it’s the Escape.
