PERFORMANCE
Ford EcoSport

The engine is the heart of the EcoSport and the CR-V. When you need some added pep to your step, the energetic powertrain on either SUV will surely add fuel to your fire.

Get Going!

The EcoSport and the CR-V both have one engine each, which are perhaps as passionate as you are! These engines are perfect when you need to get to your early-morning hot yoga class or when you need to boogie to happy hour after work on Friday afternoon.

Despite the similarities, their pulling power is different:

  • Ford EcoSport Towing Capacity: 2,000 pounds
  • Honda CR-V Towing Capacity: 1,500 pounds

The additional 500 pounds with the EcoSport allows you to flex your muscles in all new ways!

Ready for Any Road

You’ve always been one with nature. You grew up crossing rock-laden roads and gritty paths, which primed your feet with calluses that helped you learn the lay of the land. The Ford EcoSport is just like you thanks to standard Intelligent 4WD (four-wheel drive). This system instills confidence in you when the road turns from pavement to gravel.

On the other hand, the Honda CR-V comes standard with 2-wheel drive; however, Real Time All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control Systemâ„¢ is available.

INTERIOR
Ford EcoSport

You like to stay busy. Whether you’re getting ready to paint a few rooms in your home, planning a picnic with your family, or renovating your entire patio before the warm weather arrives, the EcoSport and the CR-V have the space you need for all your necessary gear.

Flip Up or Fold Flat

Both SUVs have configurable second rows to make room for your necessary equipment. However, the EcoSport’s second-row 60/40 flip-up and split-fold-flat seats are unique. Just as the name suggests, they can flip up to accommodate cargo behind the first row or fold flat for longer items. The CR-V has comparable easy fold-down 60/40 split rear seats that only fold flat.

The added configurability in the EcoSport means you’ll have more flexibility for bulky bags of topsoil and new gardening tools, like rakes, shovels, you name it.

Snug and Safe

It’s Sunday, which means you’re going to the flea market. You’re hoping to score an ornate lamp for your den and maybe some delicate homemade jewelry too. Good thing both models have standard cargo tie-downs to keep your precious finds in place!

The Ford EcoSport offers the smarter storage solutions, though, thanks to these amenities:

  • Interior cargo cover
  • Rear swing gate
  • Available cargo management system (with adjustable rear load floor and shelf)

The swinging rear gate and cargo system are unique to the EcoSport; however, the CR-V has an available cargo cover to protect your valuables from passersby or the sun.

SAFETY
Ford EcoSport

Just as you’d lather your skin in sunscreen before some fun in the sun, the EcoSport and the CR-V also come with a few tried-and-true protective measures. Along with their adequately built frames, these models also have standard and available driver-assistance aids to make sure the fun never stops.

Stay On Course

With the help of Ford Co-Pilot360™ and Honda Sensing® technologies, the EcoSport and the CR-V can help keep you out of harm’s way. In fact, they even share a few systems in common:

  • Rear view camera
  • Brake Assist
  • Available Rear Parking Sensor
  • Available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert

With the help of your driving expertise and these safety systems, you’ll experience complete confidence heading to your next adventure.

Your On-the-Go Toolbox

If you’re an avid nature explorer, you’ve probably got a few tricks up your sleeve to make the most of your trips. So does the Ford EcoSport:

  • Belt-Minder®: This system mandates you to latch your seat belt before shifting into Drive.
  • MyKey®: Want to promote responsible driving habits in your teen driver? This system allows you to program the key with restrictive settings, like seat belt usage, limiting top speed, and decreasing max audio volume.

Unfortunately, the Honda CR-V goes without similar security tools to ensure calm, cool, and collected cruises.
