Amenities

The Honda HR-V also boasts superiority in the realm of features.

  • A one-touch power moonroof with a tilt feature comes standard in the HR-V EX and EX-L Navi trims, while the Ford Escape’s Panoramic Vista Roof is only offered as an available, extra-cost upgrade – it doesn’t come standard in any of the Escape models.
  • Smart Entry with push-button start also comes standard in the HR-V EX and EX-L Navi models, while the Ford Escape’s Intelligent Access with push-button start is only offered for the top Escape trim, not either of the lower trim levels.
  • A Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic comes standard onboard the HR-V EX-L Navi trim, while the Ford Escape’s voice-activated navigation system is only offered as an available upgrade for an added cost—it does not come standard in any of the Escape models.
  • The Honda HR-V also offers driver-assist features like Honda LaneWatch, which comes standard in the EX and EX-L Navi trims. This state-of-the-art system uses a camera integrated in the passenger-side exterior mirror to deliver live video footage of the adjacent lane, helping drivers change lanes and make right-hand turns more safely. This is a feature the Ford Escape does not offer.
