The Escape's power parking brake sets with one touch and releases with one touch or automatically. The Soul has a lever-type parking brake that has to be strenuously raised to engage properly. It has to be lifted up more and a button depressed to release it.
The Escape SEL/Titanium's front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Soul GT-Line Turbo's passenger windows don't open or close automatically.
In case you lock your keys in your vehicle, or don't have them with you, you can let yourself in using the Escape SE/SEL/Titanium's exterior PIN entry system. The Soul doesn't offer an exterior PIN entry system.

Both the Escape and the Soul offer rear vents. For greater rear passenger comfort, the Escape SE/SEL/Titanium has standard rear air conditioning vents to keep rear occupants cool in summer or warm in winter. The Soul doesn't offer rear air conditioning vents, only heat vents.
