You are bound to see many SUVs when you are cruising down the roads of Wabash. If you like what you see, you did some research on some of the top models available. Two models that might catch your eye are the Ford Escape and Acura RDX. At Peru Ford near Kokomo, we thought a detailed comparison of the Ford Escape and Acura RDX might help you find the car that best suits you.
The Ford Escape allows you to choose from three engines that give you power and efficiency. We have the 2.5-Liter 4-cylinder engine producing 168 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. The 1.5-Liter EcoBoost engine produces 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque as the first two options.

These engines are also very fuel-efficient. The Ford Escape can reach an EPA-estimated 44 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway with the right setup.
