Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the model year, starting price, horsepower, ground shadow size, and height.

Also, the 2014 Escape has a more powerful engine than the 2016 500X. And finally, the 500X is both slightly smaller and shorter than the Escape. Among similarities are the body structure, fuel economy, and maximum occupancy.
