Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Escape than in the Volkswagen Tiguan.
The Ford Escape will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Escape as you will with the Volkswagen Tiguan, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Ford Escape or the Volkswagen Tiguan, it's going to cost you about the same.
Dimensions
Since the Ford Escape is much wider than the Volkswagen Tiguan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
The Ford Escape is slightly shorter than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The Ford Escape has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Tiguan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford Escape is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen Tiguan for pulling heavy loads.
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Ford Escape and the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Ford Escape doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Utility

The Ford Escape has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
