Luxurious, Comfort-Focused Design

Looking for a crossover SUV that combines style and comfort? Discover the 2025 Ford Escape at our dealership in Luray, VA. The all-new Escape boasts an athletic stance, dual chrome exhaust tips, a piano black grille with a chrome strip, privacy glass and LED reflector headlamps. Choose from trim levels with 17-inch or 19-inch wheels and consider upgrades like a power liftgate, heated side mirrors and a Panoramic Vista Roof^®.

When comparing the exterior of the 2025 Ford Escape to the 2025 Honda CR-V, you'll notice the Escape has a sportier design, while the CR-V features a roofline spoiler. The Honda CR-V 2025 model includes standard LED headlights and offers 17-inch and 19-inch wheel options. However, it only comes with a power moonroof, whereas the 2025 Ford Escape from Marlow Ford offers the Panoramic Vista Roof^®.

A comparison of the interior spaces of the 2025 Ford Escape and the 2025 Honda CR-V shows that both SUVs offer ample space for five adults, with folding rear seats to expand the cargo area. The 2025 Ford Escape features cloth seats, with optional Activex^®-trimmed seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, Ice Blue^® instrument panel cluster lighting and a center console with a media bin. Higher trim levels add a heated steering wheel, a 10-way driver seat, heated front seats and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

The 2025 Honda CR-V comes with cloth seats, with optional leather seats and offers heated front seats in premium configurations. An auto-dimming rearview mirror is available as an option, but this SUV does not include the premium interior lighting available in the 2025 Ford Escape.

EcoBoost^® Efficiency and Performance

A comparison of the 2025 Ford Escape and the 2025 Honda CR-V highlights that the Ford Escape excels in performance with more horsepower and four engine options. The 2025 Ford Escape, available at our Ford dealership in Luray, VA, comes standard with a 180-horsepower 1.5-liter EcoBoost^® I-3 engine, delivering 199 lb-ft of torque, front-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Higher trims feature an EcoBoost^® 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.

Opting for the 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid, you can choose between two robust engine options: a 192-horsepower 2.5-liter Atkinson Cycle I-4 hybrid engine with all-wheel drive and a plug-in hybrid 2.5-liter I-4 engine generating 210 horsepower.

The 2025 Honda CR-V comes with a base 190-horsepower Inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, producing 179 lb-ft of torque, along with a three-mode drive system, a CVT and front-wheel drive. The 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid features a two-motor hybrid system paired with a 4-cylinder engine, delivering a combined 204 horsepower.

More Standard Driver Assist Features

There is a reason why the 2025 Ford Escape has earned recognition from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Beyond its impressive city and highway fuel economy, the 2025 Ford Escape comes equipped with exceptional safety technology. All configurations at our Ford dealership in Luray, VA, include a blind spot information system with rear cross traffic braking, lane departure warnings with lane keeping assist, forward collision warnings with dynamic brake support and pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking.

Upgrading provides even more technology, such as adaptive cruise control with lane centering and evasive steering assist. The Honda CR-V 2025 model comes standard with the Honda Sensing^™ Suite, which includes a collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation and adaptive cruise control. However, unlike the 2025 Ford Escape, the Honda CR-V 2025 model only offers blind spot monitoring with the higher-level configurations.
