Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Escape than in the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. 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 Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Ford Escape is a better financial choice over the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Escape is much slimmer than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Ford Escape, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is clearly the choice over the Ford Escape for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Escape has a lot less horsepower than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Powertrain
The Ford Escape has much lower torque than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Escape and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
