6.5
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2020 Ford Escape takes a more refined tack, and brings its hybrid edition back into vogue. The 2020 Honda CR-V hits right at the heart of many buyers’ needs: comfortable, spacious, quiet, and efficient. The 2020 Toyota RAV4 covers more bases this year with smartphone compatibility and tough-looking off-road trims.
