The Escape offers a remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The HR-V doesn't offer a remote starting system.
When three different drivers share the Escape SEL/Titanium, the memory seats and mirrors make it convenient for all three. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver's seat position and outside mirror angle. The HR-V doesn't offer a memory system.
The Escape SEL/Titanium's standard easy entry system glides the driver's seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The HR-V doesn't offer an easy entry system.
The Escape Titanium offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver's line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The HR-V doesn't offer a heads-up display.
The power windows standard on both the Escape and the HR-V have locks to prevent small children from operating them. When the lock on the Escape is engaged the driver can still operate all of the windows, for instance to close one opened by a child. The HR-V prevents the driver from operating the other windows just as it does the other passengers.
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 HR-V'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 HR-V doesn't offer an exterior PIN entry system.
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 HR-V doesn't offer an exterior PIN entry system.
The Escape's standard speed-sensitive wipers speed up when the vehicle does, so that the driver doesn't have to continually adjust the speed of the wipers. The HR-V LX/Sport's standard fixed intermittent wipers only have one fixed delay setting, so the driver will have to manually switch them between slow and intermittent. The Escape Titanium's standard wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield. The HR-V EX/EX-L/Touring's manually variable intermittent wipers don't change delay with speed.
The Escape has a standard automatic headlight on/off feature. When the ignition is on, the headlights automatically turn on at dusk and off after dawn. When the ignition turns off, the headlights turn off after a delay timed to allow you to securely get to your front door. The HR-V has an automatic headlight on/off feature standard only on the EX/EX-L/Touring.
While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Escape detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The HR-V doesn't offer automatic dimming high beams.
On extremely cold winter days, the Escape SEL/Titanium's standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up. The HR-V doesn't offer a heated steering wheel.
The Escape SE/SEL/Titanium has a standard center folding armrest for the rear passengers. A center armrest helps make rear passengers more comfortable. The HR-V doesn't offer a rear seat center armrest.
The Escape Titanium's standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won't have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The HR-V doesn't offer dual zone air conditioning.
Both the Escape and the HR-V 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 HR-V doesn't offer rear air conditioning vents, only heat vents.
The Escape Titanium has a 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The HR-V doesn't offer a house-current electrical outlet.
The Escape Titanium's Active Park Assist 2.0 can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The HR-V doesn't offer an automated parking system.
