Honda Sensing® and Ford Co-Pilot360™ are the standard driver-assistance suites on the HR-V and the Escape. Both suites have intuitive systems that use cameras and sensors to provide braking support, collision prevention, and lane guidance. Although these suites are brand-specific, you’ll find several similar features aboard either SUV:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™
• Forward Collision Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist System
• Auto High-Beam Headlights

The Honda helps you feel confident behind the wheel and takes a load off during long drives with standard Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. The next time you go on a road trip, this feature will help maintain a set speed and safe following distance from other cars.

The Ford offers a comparable feature, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, on higher trim levels.

The HR-V’s Honda Sensing® suite comes with a few additional standard features: Traffic Jam Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition. The first feature helps in stop-and-go traffic. The second feature presents road sign information, like speed limit or one-way signage, on the instrument cluster! Both features ensure you’re never taken off guard on the unpredictable road.

The Ford Escape is available with Speed Sign Recognition; however, its capability stops there. Plus, it offers no similar traffic-focused feature.

In the Honda and the Ford, you’ll have smartphone integration, like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, to listen to your preferred entertainment. These features are easy to use and require simple pairing to boot up playlists or directions to your next destination.

You can also stay connected to your SUV without being seated in it with HondaLink® in the HR-V and FordPass® Connect in the Escape.

Do you prefer to listen to curated playlists? What about talk shows with personable hosts? The Honda HR-V offers more access to alternative listening experiences with available SiriusXM® and HD Radio™. With these integrations equipped, you can take your me time to new levels—and please your ears in the process!

Although the Escape offers SiriusXM®, it goes without HD Radio® integration that will help make the miles fly by.

Do you want an SUV that helps you sink into comfort? Slide into the driver’s seats of the HR-V and the Escape to unveil these available creature comforts:

• Heated front seats
• Power moonroof
• Optional leather upholstery
• Power-adjustable front seats

These amenities can help elevate your day-to-day routine, help you unwind after a busy day, or help that long commute feel shorter than it is.

We all have those days when we rush to get to work on time. Even when you’re running behind schedule, the Honda HR-V has your back. Its available Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® feature lets you easily get behind the wheel and back out again with no hiccups.

Plus, if you forget to lock your car before heading into the office, no worries! This system automatically locks your HR-V behind you.

Although the Ford has an easy-access entry system, it goes without auto-locking technology.
