I lucked out in 2018 and got a loaded 2017 model at the dealership with 18,000 mi. on it and this is 100% the best car I have ever owned. I'm single, in my 70s, very active. I was driving it on rutted, hilly or snowy country roads year round for work, it handles perfectly, under all conditions. I keep up with the maintenance, 100% reliable (so far, 55,000+ miles in). Jump in and go. Very good cargo space, with fold-down rear seats. An amazing car, I can't speak highly enough of it.
In july of 2019 I bought a 2017 escape, base model,certified pre-owned,2.5 liter,11000 miles, it does everything great.Paid $16000 plus tax ,tag +dealer fee so,a little over $18000 out the door,we love this vehicle , the only minor gripe I have is the location of the battery and the sound system is a little weak. It gets a little over 28 mpg, so, after 19 mpg in my F150, i'm happy with that. I am at 17000 miles now and love this vehicle more everyday.
I have a 2017 Ford Escape! I absolutely love the thing! I have a name for her and everything. I go 80+ (when late) and don’t really have road noise. My Escape was 33,000 and it has everything I wanted! I literally have ZERO complaints!
to me its not boring looking it performs awesome and it really is comfy on long drives and when you need to pass semis going up hills does it with ease, love mine
This car is pretty great. I'm still pleased that the rear seats recline, get a/c vents at the SE trim, and has more leg room than in the Focus which it is based on.
I test drove one yesterday (titanium) and I really liked the 2017/18 escape for the most part. The build quality felt very good and it had loads of good features. The 2.0 engine w/ turbo was quite powerful and the handling was very good for what it is. I agree with this review in that the pedals are far, too spaced apart and it would take some getting used to. That irritated me the most seeing as I noticed it immediately so why didn't the engineers adjust it? Also the back seats spaciousness is very subjective with me being 6"2 when I adjusted the seat to where I liked (awesome power adjustment capabilities) I could just squeeze in the seat behind me. My current 2012 Toyota Prius C seemingly has more back seat room than this. Also the trunk area was very generous (wish they gave the back seats a bit of it instead) and the seats do in fact fold completely flat which, needless to say, is super useful. The price tag is steep and the fuel recommendation is premium but can get away with regular they say. What makes this SUV worth it to me is the fact that the RAV4, CX 5, CR-V, etc. are all below 200 hp and torque and their fuel economy (barring the RAV4 Hybrid) is pretty much the same as the 243 hp Escape. I'll most likely get an Escape out of all the choices (wish Mazda CX 5 offered a 2.0 ltr turbo). The EDGE had way more room but at well over $40,000 with top model, etc. I might as well look at buying a Lexus instead.
I just test drove a Escape today, and wow, it has been the best small SUV, I have every driven. I am glad I did my home work. The base model offers a great ride at a great price, but it doesn't offer any toys. If they put that Sync sound system I would have bought it today. But now I will have to upgrade my model just to get that system. As far as the ride was,, quite and comfortable and smooth. I driven other suvs this one I like the best.
I love this vehicle first because it's like driving on a carpet the road feels so smooth. I got used to the peddles. The 0 to 60 is a beauty and the coasting is magnificent. Speed is a factor when trasitioning into a U turn and it does it fine. I've been recommending this vehicle to everyone.
I had a 2014 Ford Escape Titanium with the 2.0 Ecoboost and I loved that car. A few years later I traded it for a 2015 Mustang GT. I have never had the same car for more than two years but I really want the Escape back. Nothing wrong with the Mustang. It's a ton of fun, fast and I love that I got it in orange. But I miss being higher off the ground and the space. Looking to buy a refreshed model, 2017 and up. I like the new design of the center console, the slight boost in power and the suspension in the rear was slightly redesigned to help it drive more smoothly. I'm not sure if the pedal design changed from when I had my 2014 Escape but I never had a problem and I have size 13 feet. I know some other cars may do some things better, but the Escape to me, is the best over all package. If you get the 2.0 Ecoboost (which I recommend, its great!) you have power, it handles well, is comfortable, has a good amount of space and if you don't drive like a bat out of hell all the time it can get decent fuel mileage. Buying used can save a ton of money and makes it a great value. I was really happy with mine and I can't wait to go back to one!
my parents just bought a 2017 titanium. I went over to visit them I drove it. its a dam nice crossover it rides great got plenty of power with the 2.0 ecoboost and its good-looking vehicle. I would never own one it's just not my style. but my parents or older and it's only them so it's more than enough vehicle. with all the incentives and rebates military discount they got it at a good price plus a trade in that was paid off
The new Escape gen has resulted in the previous gen values dropping like a rock. You can pick these up coming off of leases with ~35K miles for $12,000 on used car lots. What's great is that there are so many of them due to fleet sales, so they are everywhere. Just get the base model, less stuff to break
If you got the money for it, I don't think you can go wrong. Seems like a fun car to drive and with a decent amount of space. Love the technology that comes with it and the safety features. Don't see why everyone is hating on it
My family has a 2014 Ford Escape S that hasn't been driven in a year. It's a nice little car that actually drives pretty nice. DO NOT BUY THE BASE MODEL though, the SE comes with many more small features that you'll appreciate like a center arm rest in the rear and rear air vents and auto lights. But the S does come with some decent things like Bluetooth audio+calling, backup camera, cruise, multifunction middle display with digital speed readout (that's nice to use) USB, and a surprisingly good sounding 6 speaker sound system. Pretty tight and loud bass, distortion towards the higher volumes but what do you expect. The SE is the lowest trim to consider imo and it's not too much more than the S. Good review KBB (as always. )
You know I have noticed in multiple fords that the pedals are spaced weird. I always find myself pressing on the gas pedal rather than the brake when starting our new expedition my coworkers have noticed the same.
I have driven a ford escape se 2017 1.5 L turbo for 3 years now. they are very comfortable, but the only problem that I have is the gas consumption. They consume way much more than what they advertise. Mixed is around 19mpg which is crazy. the best you can get is on the highway at 30 mpg but if you drive in the city is crazy. that was the reason why I am trying to sell it at the gas price these days.
My 2017 se at 72000km zero issues avg 9.3- 9.9l per 100km on a long drive through Quebec and Ontario I got 792km out of one tank, amazing and with the 2.0l its a little rocket. as far as the pedal issue, not an issue for me and I'm in boots most of the time. Amazing in the snow (with snow tires of course)
None of the economy compact suvs look "great". This is the best looking of them all though. Add 5-6k on top of the titanium and you can get a q5 komfort. It wont have a lot of the features tho and will be replaced in 2018
My 2012 Ford Focus doesn't have rear vents in the center console, but it has rearward facing ducts under the front seats that blows heat to the back. The Escape may have them as well?
I like FORD, and i do feel they get a bad rap at times; however, that peddle design would be a deal breaker for me. I feel that's extremely dangerous and an accident waiting to happen. And, I'm NOT to crazy about the 2017 Ford Escape exterior design, I really wished it resembled a smaller version of the Expedition
You have to think about monthly payments and also if you buy it used with 20,000 miles on it. The payments will probably be around 100 dollars a month for every 5k of the price
I agree plz someone explain why Honda CR-V is so expensive honestly I don’t know if I get an escape, crv, or Toyota I just want good tech and good fuel economy
Brian Vtec Exactly, no way I'm paying nearly 30k for this car, my 2002 Infinit QX4 top trim is million times ahead of this ford, also i4 ugh...I prefer my V6 and 4AWD with leather and premium Bose system, no thanks ford!
It's really expensive for its class (like most fords) but they rebate the hell out of their cars. You can get a fully loaded 4WD Escape Titanium for $25,000 if you know where to look
Look on autotrader and you can pick up used 2016-17 titaniums for $22-25 all day long with 20-30k miles on them. Doubt you can get a new one for $25k. That would be my bet if you you're in the market for one.
Here in Europe the Escape is made in Germany (named Ford Kuga). Outstanding quality. Ford Focus, the Fiesta and the Kuga are among the most reliable cars here, the quality control in Germany is flawless.
the rav4 doesn't even look great. Toyota makes it look like it's from one piece of plastic. no chrome and no style. this escape has more bold look in it and just looks more attractive.
Ray A Toyota's offering is far too overpriced. I was looking at $31k Rav4s and the salesman was talking about Bluetooth caused it had nothing else. I prefer the looks of he Honda but value wise the Subaru eats all their lunch.
gross? the Ford Escape has Intelligent 4WD which means; when the suv detects your just driving on a normal road, it uses just the front wheels, but when it detects any type of rough terrain, it will automatically go to 4WD mode for better traction. Unlike other suvs that do offer 4wd or AWD that is always active, this Escape gives the option of using both front and 4WD any given time, and it does it by itself...no buttons to push, no having to choose between a 4WD or a FWD suv and compromising in what type of suv to get..you need to do your homework. Also this offers an app that lets people start/stop their car, set timers when the SUV starts, maps of where it is down to the street level, updates on getting it serviced, finding parking spots, managing car payments and much more. and its the only brand (Ford) that has the number code on the door so it can be unlocked...come on...this is way more advanced than the Mazda
M.A. Medina your comment is on point. I just got the Subaru Forester and while it's not the prettiest and is a bit bland inside there is no denying the value. I got AWD, Pano Sunroof, and cold weather package and it was $27k. With those options on the Ford it's over $30k. It's also not the only one. The rav4 is also quite pricey and so is the Honda with the Honda being the only one worthy of that price tag. I actually think I dislike the Toyota most followed by the Ford.
FoMo has made an error in thinking US customers want Stop Go tech and stupid reduced engine size. We own a 2015 2.oT Titanium and enjoy the turning and overall performance. FoMo should just made "2.0T standard" across the board & kill off start stop feature. If not I will not be repeat buyer. The price is creeping up too much.
Our escape was AWFUL. We hated every second of it and the Ford costumer service is awful. the ride had a lot of wind and road noise, but it was still pretty fun. all in all, our specific Escape was awful and we're glad we escaped.
My brother owns a 2008 my uncle has a 2003 and my best friend had a 2013 now she has a 2017 and all of them love theres! If i didn't have 3 kids i would trade in my Explorer for one!
Have you driven it personally? Unless you have clown shoes on, you're not going to have any issues with the pedals. The only possible situation where you would "snag your foot" between the pedals is if you were flooring the gas then slamming on the break for some odd reason. You're not gonna be trying to beat other cars in the quarter mile in this type of car, so save the fancy footwork for something with three pedals. The criticisms he found were exaggerated just so he had something to point his finger at. Oh my god, there's no button in the trunk to fold down the second row seats so you're gonna have to walk 3 feet to lift a lever. I'm 6'2 and I can reach the nav screen perfectly. If you're driving you shouldn't necessarily messing with the screen anyways. Driver visibility is amazing, and this guy found something wrong with the fucking A-pillar. Let's say Ford adjusts it and makes it an inch or two smaller, what how would the driver benefit? Cars are massive pieces of machinery that you can see in the lane next to you that an A-pillar can't block when you're on the road. If you're in residential neighborhoods you shouldn't be driving fast, and if a kid kicks a ball in the street, you should have no problem seeing it cross your field of view. And since you're not messing with the nav screen or driving with clown shoes on, you're going to be able to get on the brakes without getting caught between pedals. The "meaty" A-pillars more likely than not provide for more structural rigidity, keeping the driver safe at the end of the day. Who the fuck drives 70mph+ on the highway in silence now a days. Road noise is not going to be noticeable unless you look for it like this guy. He then moves on to knock on the engine options. If you're in America, and you might actually tow something; the 2.0 turbo is the only option a reasonably educated person is going to buy. Why spend that kind of money on a car to sell yourself short on the engine. He didn't mention that this is the first year that Ford bumped down their 1.6L to a 1.5 turbo. The reason they did this was because of the massive growth in the Chinese market. Where buyers receives tax breaks when the engine is 1.5L and below because air pollution and shit. And if you're the person who buys the 2.5 naturally aspirated, god help you. Turbos improve efficiency and make engines last longer.
Service & maintenance. Unless you have a good mechanic who will charge a good fare, German luxury SUV are EXTREMELY expensive to upkeep. There's a reason why they depreciate so quickly once the warranty expires on them.
Honda CR-V2017 is better I rent all the time and never gives me problems, love its way its drive Pretty smooth and spacious, See the review with kelley bluebook
midwest sneakerhead well he was choosing the terrain or the tiguan. But I'd say the CR-V is the best bet for the money than a 9 Speed GM. But it is your choice after all.
38k for a mid size Ford !!! Who would have ever guessed, buy 2 years old is the only way to pay close to actual value... who knows what dealer cost is on a new Ford Escape titanium
Yup, buy used with these domestic CUV. They lose a ton of value in two years time and you can pick one up a fully loaded titanium for under $25k easily.
There's a few in Houston new 2017 for like 17k SE models . Going to check them out tomorrow hopefully I like it. My 4Runner gets the same economy as my pickup 😣
Antes de dar un concepto de estas camionetas deberían de prevenir a la gente que estos carros solo duran mientras la garantía esté vigente una ves expire la garantía la caja de cambios y la dirección sacan la mano y nadie le responde a uno como consumidor .
Right now rebates are the best on these models .But if you want zero financing you will give up the rebates .So before you buy look for a loan from another place so you can get those rebates .3500 to 4000 is hard to give up when you can get a lower interest rate from a bank and maybe only pay 1500 to a back over the iife of the loan .I know I am buying an escape titanium and I am lucky I can pa cash and get my ford retiree plan to get a lower cost .I also don't pay the 895 dollar destination and delivery cost
Those pedals... Wrong!! The moment you need to move your foot quickly from gas to brake, you can't... I still would take the 2011-2012 Escape, with its trucky boxy body style, over that "fancy" new Escape 2017, any day... It looked way more outdoor/adventure oriented and more manly.
The seats are derived from Ford's days owning Volvo, and they are quite good for this non-luxury class. Also the 1.5T and 2.0T motors deliver plenty of power for the money.
Honda CR-V's good track record of reliability LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO no the 1st gen was garbage and the newer ones since 2011 or 2012 have had transmission issues and the new 1.5L Earth Dreams engine is so bad that it can't even blow heat when stationary, keep oil and gas separate, and it's horribly underpowered too
CR-V is not attractive either and that faux wood inside feels like I'm driving my dad's car from the 80's. Tacky to use fake wood, don't get it. Prefer just nicer trim.
There’s no pedal problem he is a fool, if u think so then go try it yourself with a test drive the average size person would have any issue if you are about 6”1 6”2 you will feel difference in vehicle massively that’s when you start to feel cramped beyond that space interior and 2.0 liter engine with 4wd is the best option financially but if you don’t go off-roading or anywhere when the weather is particularly rougher then 2wd is fine
I'd say maybe because I like Chevy, but I'm annoyed that on the LT you can't get leather as option. The cloth is simply ugly, looks like denim. Chevy can't do cloth seats very well and the seats are real hard. If I buy it, I'd swamp out for leather seats after market.
Do your homework on this car. Engine coolant leaks. Sad for a company who has built cars for 120 years. Will not warranty the engine with 22000 miles on it. JUNK

Went from a Focus St to an Escape Titanium. Favorite part? the same engine and turbo in my ST is in the Escape. Thing moves.

What tiesa are you using?
so, 2 years later, you still feel the same? jw i was looking into them
so.. what's its name lol
In my opinion the Escape is the best in the segment in terms of overall styling, comfort, performance, and utility.; I’ve looked at all of them.
to me its not boring looking it performs awesome and it really is comfy on long drives and when you need to pass semis going up hills does it with ease, love mine

I would get a 2013-15 at Carmax if you want the upgraded features for the same price.
Getting the upgraded engine is a necessity. Totally worth it

this vehicle is a very nice driver and with the sport package looks much better than the others in its class
i hope it doesn't come with the guy that jumped in the boot at 6:20 😯😯
*fucking psychopath murder monster was going to kill the guy from the video from behind*
My 2017 se at 72000km zero issues avg 9.3- 9.9l per 100km on a long drive through Quebec and Ontario I got 792km out of one tank, amazing and with the 2.0l its a little rocket. as far as the pedal issue, not an issue for me and I'm in boots most of the time. Amazing in the snow (with snow tires of course)
2:25 that was a close call lol
None of the economy compact suvs look "great". This is the best looking of them all though. Add 5-6k on top of the titanium and you can get a q5 komfort. It wont have a lot of the features tho and will be replaced in 2018
How the Hell is it 2017 and air vents are optional?
It's only the rear vents. Let me tell you what *is* ridiculous. You have to buy A/C separately/as a additional package in the Jeep Patriot'(s).
MustangDriver1734 I know it's the rear vents. Car companies try to Nickel and dime customers for very basic things
I hear ya. Rear vents are just an extra duct through the center console. It couldn't cost more than a few dollars.
Gordon lmao, the rav4 doesn't have it :)))
My 2012 Ford Focus doesn't have rear vents in the center console, but it has rearward facing ducts under the front seats that blows heat to the back. The Escape may have them as well?
That’s what I had, but transmission failed me by moving without me. Totaled. Glad nobody else was injured!
The 1.6l catches on fire. Also known as the Kuga internationally. If you are going to buy this, opt for the larger capacity engine models.
the 1.6 is dead its a 1.5 now
I had just rented one to drive from Texas to Indiana to buy a 2018 F150 fx4 and now i'd like to get an Escape for my wife.
I can't live without rain sensing windshield wipers. I find it too much work and too strenuous to turn on wipers myself its just too much work
Your mentality is the reason Americans are obese.
He was being facetious.
@@KevinHernandez-qz8sb r/whoosh

I agree. Don't get me started on turn signals too. 😒
Love my 2018 Escape. I got a 2.0 Titanium fully loaded for 27k brand new. Doesn’t have AWD but I don’t need it in my area
Guillermo Pacheco it’s not even 2021
Dylan Power lol 2018

More affordable SUV?? I saw 2017 Escape S (Base) for 17k. Can u get a Toyota or Honda for 17k?? NO
You have to think about monthly payments and also if you buy it used with 20,000 miles on it. The payments will probably be around 100 dollars a month for every 5k of the price
I agree plz someone explain why Honda CR-V is so expensive honestly I don’t know if I get an escape, crv, or Toyota I just want good tech and good fuel economy
I just wish the front end didn't look so derpy. I'm going to have a tough decision to make.
This doesn't look like 30k SUV! No way!!
Brian Vtec Exactly, no way I'm paying nearly 30k for this car, my 2002 Infinit QX4 top trim is million times ahead of this ford, also i4 ugh...I prefer my V6 and 4AWD with leather and premium Bose system, no thanks ford!
No its not made there anymore google it
I mean it starts around 23k, you only spend that much if you get all the options lol
For 30k, it can park itself
Lawrence Tsui Useless feature, that's for lazy noobs!
It's really expensive for its class (like most fords) but they rebate the hell out of their cars. You can get a fully loaded 4WD Escape Titanium for $25,000 if you know where to look
Look on autotrader and you can pick up used 2016-17 titaniums for $22-25 all day long with 20-30k miles on them. Doubt you can get a new one for $25k. That would be my bet if you you're in the market for one.
The only reason I watched this is because my mom has this car I really love it
the 2012 - 2014 models are catching fire in South Africa.
Why does Ford insist on making their cars look cheap by sticking that aftermarket-looking Sony logo on their infotainment system?
I like the logo...
Joe Johnson no they aren't theyre made in Missuri!!!
Here in Europe the Escape is made in Germany (named Ford Kuga). Outstanding quality. Ford Focus, the Fiesta and the Kuga are among the most reliable cars here, the quality control in Germany is flawless.
robert4you Now Kuga is made in Spain
or you can always buy the 2020 baby Bronco
the rav4 doesn't even look great. Toyota makes it look like it's from one piece of plastic. no chrome and no style. this escape has more bold look in it and just looks more attractive.
Ray A Toyota's offering is far too overpriced. I was looking at $31k Rav4s and the salesman was talking about Bluetooth caused it had nothing else. I prefer the looks of he Honda but value wise the Subaru eats all their lunch.
Ray A Ford Escape is gross, Mazda CX-5 is way better looking
I need one !
The crv is also kinda nice
gross? the Ford Escape has Intelligent 4WD which means; when the suv detects your just driving on a normal road, it uses just the front wheels, but when it detects any type of rough terrain, it will automatically go to 4WD mode for better traction. Unlike other suvs that do offer 4wd or AWD that is always active, this Escape gives the option of using both front and 4WD any given time, and it does it by itself...no buttons to push, no having to choose between a 4WD or a FWD suv and compromising in what type of suv to get..you need to do your homework. Also this offers an app that lets people start/stop their car, set timers when the SUV starts, maps of where it is down to the street level, updates on getting it serviced, finding parking spots, managing car payments and much more. and its the only brand (Ford) that has the number code on the door so it can be unlocked...come on...this is way more advanced than the Mazda
It's interior is a really unique design. In a good way.
Awesome 😀 😀 2017 Ford Escape review .
How’s the reliability of the 2.0 ecoboost?
naveenthemachine great, it’s been in the escape since 2013.
Not to mention those pretty cool 19" wheels.
Wait till you replace them. No one thinks about the fact that the bigger the tires, the more they cost.
Good review - thanks.
Ford escape vs. Jeep Compass, what are your thoughts
If not the brand... it's too pricey.. may not age well with the design... but loved the KBB review.. so natural
M.A. Medina your comment is on point. I just got the Subaru Forester and while it's not the prettiest and is a bit bland inside there is no denying the value. I got AWD, Pano Sunroof, and cold weather package and it was $27k. With those options on the Ford it's over $30k. It's also not the only one. The rav4 is also quite pricey and so is the Honda with the Honda being the only one worthy of that price tag. I actually think I dislike the Toyota most followed by the Ford.
Foresters are in the competition for ugliest SUVs ever along with the 16- RAV4 and Sportage
SummerWest VEVO they are plain to me. That is different from ugly. Ugly to me is the Jeep Cherokee.
FoMo has made an error in thinking US customers want Stop Go tech and stupid reduced engine size. We own a 2015 2.oT Titanium and enjoy the turning and overall performance. FoMo should just made "2.0T standard" across the board & kill off start stop feature. If not I will not be repeat buyer. The price is creeping up too much.
You guys should do a review for the 2017 CRV soon
Our escape was AWFUL. We hated every second of it and the Ford costumer service is awful. the ride had a lot of wind and road noise, but it was still pretty fun. all in all, our specific Escape was awful and we're glad we escaped.
What year? I have a 2007 and 2013. I've yet to have any issues.
My brother owns a 2008 my uncle has a 2003 and my best friend had a 2013 now she has a 2017 and all of them love theres! If i didn't have 3 kids i would trade in my Explorer for one!
Pun intended, Pete. By the way, what did you trade your Escape with?
The original Ford Sync was still class leading over the laughable GM and Chrysler that had UI and response times of a 1990's IBM computer...
That is extremely nice
better look again made in Louisville unless that's now in Mexico DUH
please review the new 2020 or even the 2019 Ford Escape!!! Pleeeease!
So you like Radiohead too? That's so cool
That pedal design is completely flawed.
Ford will fix it within a few weeks.
robert4you Good
Have you driven it personally? Unless you have clown shoes on, you're not going to have any issues with the pedals. The only possible situation where you would "snag your foot" between the pedals is if you were flooring the gas then slamming on the break for some odd reason. You're not gonna be trying to beat other cars in the quarter mile in this type of car, so save the fancy footwork for something with three pedals. The criticisms he found were exaggerated just so he had something to point his finger at. Oh my god, there's no button in the trunk to fold down the second row seats so you're gonna have to walk 3 feet to lift a lever. I'm 6'2 and I can reach the nav screen perfectly. If you're driving you shouldn't necessarily messing with the screen anyways. Driver visibility is amazing, and this guy found something wrong with the fucking A-pillar. Let's say Ford adjusts it and makes it an inch or two smaller, what how would the driver benefit? Cars are massive pieces of machinery that you can see in the lane next to you that an A-pillar can't block when you're on the road. If you're in residential neighborhoods you shouldn't be driving fast, and if a kid kicks a ball in the street, you should have no problem seeing it cross your field of view. And since you're not messing with the nav screen or driving with clown shoes on, you're going to be able to get on the brakes without getting caught between pedals. The "meaty" A-pillars more likely than not provide for more structural rigidity, keeping the driver safe at the end of the day. Who the fuck drives 70mph+ on the highway in silence now a days. Road noise is not going to be noticeable unless you look for it like this guy. He then moves on to knock on the engine options. If you're in America, and you might actually tow something; the 2.0 turbo is the only option a reasonably educated person is going to buy. Why spend that kind of money on a car to sell yourself short on the engine. He didn't mention that this is the first year that Ford bumped down their 1.6L to a 1.5 turbo. The reason they did this was because of the massive growth in the Chinese market. Where buyers receives tax breaks when the engine is 1.5L and below because air pollution and shit. And if you're the person who buys the 2.5 naturally aspirated, god help you. Turbos improve efficiency and make engines last longer.
Mitchell Irons thank you 🙏🏾💕
@@robert4you they didn't and it's 2019 now.
Ah, I really like this. Too bad it is soooo expensive. I can buy a second hand Audi Q3 or BMW X5 2013-2014 for this money.
You can get a 2013 Escape from Carmax with 20K-40K miles for less than 25K. Fully loaded. It has almost everything the 2016+'s do.
Service & maintenance. Unless you have a good mechanic who will charge a good fare, German luxury SUV are EXTREMELY expensive to upkeep. There's a reason why they depreciate so quickly once the warranty expires on them.
Joe Johnson Escape is made in Missouri
Aviator Guy Rav4 also made in Usa

Honda CR-V2017 is better
I rent all the time and never gives me problems, love its way its drive
Pretty smooth and spacious,
See the review with kelley bluebook
Excellent by Ford #1👍💪
Love mine... in white
Looks good
hmmm this or wait for the 2018 gmc terrain or wait for the 2018 volkswagen tiguan?
Luke Hoisington either way you wait.
Goldbugg 657 it's just a hard choice since there are so many good ones
Luke Hoisington get the Escape
midwest sneakerhead well he was choosing the terrain or the tiguan. But I'd say the CR-V is the best bet for the money than a 9 Speed GM. But it is your choice after all.
wait for the 2017 CX-5
How much is this Ford escape?
What good price for this thing we got our Nissan rouge for like 29 k
When will you review the new CR-V?
38k for a mid size Ford !!! Who would have ever guessed, buy 2 years old is the only way to pay close to actual value... who knows what dealer cost is on a new Ford Escape titanium
Yup, buy used with these domestic CUV. They lose a ton of value in two years time and you can pick one up a fully loaded titanium for under $25k easily.
see them for 23k here brand new fully loaded. Fords have crazy rebates
There's a few in Houston new 2017 for like 17k SE models . Going to check them out tomorrow hopefully I like it. My 4Runner gets the same economy as my pickup 😣
what will the prise in india
Donde puedo comprar los faros delanteros ? Los principales en led
$4500.00 lease incentive now on Escapes. Save a ton or get cash back of $3500.00 on purchase. Won't get those incentives with the competition.
I prefer the chevy equinox... even though that's not really worth the price either
CRV is still the best in this segment. A little more expensive, but worth it considering resale value
@@ApatLang not with that CVT, they've been having issues lately with engine problems.
Really nice car.
High 30's?? Rather have a preowned Mercedes GLC
Definitely high sticker shock on the Ford... but I wouldn't touch used german luxury... you gotta pay to play
Only way I would own a used German car is buying it through Carmax with their Max Care Warranty.
When the Prius is on sale why would you buy this.
Antes de dar un concepto de estas camionetas deberían de prevenir a la gente que estos carros solo duran mientras la garantía esté vigente una ves expire la garantía la caja de cambios y la dirección sacan la mano y nadie le responde a uno como consumidor .
I have a 2013 Ford Escape
Too bad about the pedals.
The new cx 5 is better. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
Right now rebates are the best on these models .But if you want zero financing you will give up the rebates .So before you buy look for a loan from another place so you can get those rebates .3500 to 4000 is hard to give up when you can get a lower interest rate from a bank and maybe only pay 1500 to a back over the iife of the loan .I know I am buying an escape titanium and I am lucky I can pa cash and get my ford retiree plan to get a lower cost .I also don't pay the 895 dollar destination and delivery cost
Do the 2017 Honda HRV
i went with the 2017 nissan rogue
Benjamin Navarro bummer...
Freedom I don't blame him. The escape is ugly
Mazda and Toyota are the best looking. Hyundai isn't too ugly either.
Those pedals... Wrong!! The moment you need to move your foot quickly from gas to brake, you can't...
I still would take the 2011-2012 Escape, with its trucky boxy body style, over that "fancy" new Escape 2017, any day... It looked way more outdoor/adventure oriented and more manly.
Ah
I bought a Subaru forester 2014 with awd. this is coming from me owning a 335is bmw
so what
Dont see any premium-ness in this vehicle
The seats are derived from Ford's days owning Volvo, and they are quite good for this non-luxury class. Also the 1.5T and 2.0T motors deliver plenty of power for the money.
DimachkaS /
Ugliest vehicle in the road....well including its competitor brethren....
Honda CR-V's good track record of reliability LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO no the 1st gen was garbage and the newer ones since 2011 or 2012 have had transmission issues and the new 1.5L Earth Dreams engine is so bad that it can't even blow heat when stationary, keep oil and gas separate, and it's horribly underpowered too
CR-V is not attractive either and that faux wood inside feels like I'm driving my dad's car from the 80's. Tacky to use fake wood, don't get it. Prefer just nicer trim.
39K for an Escape is mind blowing for its price. With this price, I could have gotten a Lexus small SUV with better resale value and reliability.
what is cost of ford escape car
It depends on features and trim
who ran to the trunk of the CUV towards the end of the video
There’s no pedal problem he is a fool, if u think so then go try it yourself with a test drive the average size person would have any issue if you are about 6”1 6”2 you will feel difference in vehicle massively that’s when you start to feel cramped beyond that space interior and 2.0 liter engine with 4wd is the best option financially but if you don’t go off-roading or anywhere when the weather is particularly rougher then 2wd is fine
2018 Chevy Equinox kills this crossover.
I'd say maybe because I like Chevy, but I'm annoyed that on the LT you can't get leather as option. The cloth is simply ugly, looks like denim. Chevy can't do cloth seats very well and the seats are real hard. If I buy it, I'd swamp out for leather seats after market.
very nice looking😘and the car ain't bad either!
The Jeep Cherokee beats the Escape in max tow rating
I would call this a sleeper.
Waze?
Do your homework on this car. Engine coolant leaks. Sad for a company who has built cars for 120 years. Will not warranty the engine with 22000 miles on it. JUNK
Mine is very bad on gas
New ecosport in Brasil 2019
Eco sport in Brasil.
New ecosport in Brasil 2019 ?
Idk...this car just came out but it already looks dated to me... =\
ikr this model needs a good redesign
These are nice, but my butt overhangs the seats
expensive..
