  • The all-new Ford Escape is a big improvement from the outgoing model. With a larger platform with more legroom and width, this new 2020 Ford Escape is now the right size to take on the best selling Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The Ford Escape used to be the best seller in Canada for many years but the fact Ford left the design far too long was a detriment. Now, the all-new Ford Escape compact SUV is set to challenge with two gasoline engines and two alternative power plants including a hybrid and plug-un hybrid Ford Escape. this 5-passenger utility is powered by a base 1.5L 3cylinder turbocharged engine or what Ford calls EcoBoost. This 3-cylinder Ford Escape has 181hp and 190lb.-ft. of torque. The optional gasoline engine is a 2.0L EcoBoost or turbocharged 4-cylinder with 250hp and 280lb.-ft. of torque but premium gas is recommended. The Ford Escape small SUV is available with front wheel drive FWD and all wheel drive AWD In addition, the new Ford Escape is available with a 2.5L 4-cylinder and hybrid system or plug-in hybrid system. The interior of this 5-passenger 2-row compact utility is fitted with typical materials in this class but many will but one up from the base model in Canada to get the Sync3 infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a larger 8-inch screen, heated steering wheel and heated front seats. The top Titanium Ford Escape can also be fitted with the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. The power from the 2.0L turbocharged engine is very good, the handling is solid but the ride and refinement has been vastly improved.

    I had a 2012 Escape for 8 years, just bought the 2020 hybrid and LOVE IT... I am getting 44.8 mpg combined over 605 miles on a tank of gas! Plus the Ford 360 technology is amazing... my last escape was a real good car, no major issues in 8 years... I hope I have the same luck with this Hybrid... the engine btw is very responsive and fun to drive, in sport mode you can feel it shift like a gas motor,

      Getting about 46 mpg and averaging 630 miles between fill ups!! It is really amazing! Plus I have now driven 30 miles on the freeway in one trip and the adaptive cruise control makes driving easier, using the Apple car play, or ford pass apps like Ford+Alexa also made this a more enjoyable ride... I could play Alexa games like “who wants to be a millionaire” or hear my tunes or switch over to Apple car play and listen to my podcasts, or music on Apple Music... the Sirius radio also lets me listen to my favorite teams local broadcasts of my favorite sports, and I can locate the least expensive gas on my route... all really fantastic useful technology... Ford 360 suite of safety features are nice, a little hard to get used too like a seat belt must have been when we first started wearing those, but I do like the blind spot monitoring and centering in my lane, also like the auto emergency breaking but hope I don’t have to use it!

      In December 2019, I traded in my 2006:Ford Escape Hybrid and bought the 2020 Ford Escape SE Sport Hybrid. I’m averaging 40mpg overall; have achieved as much as 54mpg on multiple trips. A couple of brief trips--2 or 3 miles--showed 78mpg. As I’m planning some very long trips, I bought a full-size spare tire and rim for the lower cargo area--the area that holds the 12v battery. So, my mileage will drop slightly because of the increased weight. I’ve driven about 1200 miles since picking it up, and I’ve filled the car twice (approx 11 gallons), and the dealer topped it off for free (6 gallons) during a visit for a inspection.
      I think the hybrid is the best model. And if you can’t afford the Titanium (as I could not), you should consider the SE Sport. I’m happy with it!

    @AlexAnder-ut9es 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've had my Titanium for 10 months now and still love it. It's fast, comfortable & feature -rich. What other budget suv has automated parking that finds it's own spot, then either reverses or parallel parks in the spot & also pulls itself out of a tight spot; all hands-free. The driving modes & lane centering + adaptive cruise control make traffic completely stress-free & actually relaxing. Downside is I hate the rotary dial gear shift and the push button drive modes that force you to cycle through them all to find the one you want each time.

    Of all the negativity this new Escape has received and with all those presumptions I took a test drive and I am pretty impressed with the new Escape,
    Its improved a whole lot, than previous gen ones, compared with Rav4 and CRV, I dont think its a much better buy, but if one loves driving, Escape s definitely better than Honda and Big T

      Well I know more than that, but my point was not about Eacapes roots or past.
      I see a lot of people complain about how new Escape looks and even more complaining about poor plastics etc inside Escape
      True the Escapes fit finish and attention to detail kind of falls short of Honda,Toyota,Hyundai,VW,new Mazda products, but my experience driving Escape proved that, all these soft touch plastics etc are skin deep, the Escape is more than that, there jas been solid engineering for the Fords MK IV Focus based C platform, thats shows in how agile and smart it drives, it definitely drivers firmer than rivals which again might put off some soft floaty SUV lovers, but once it got into freeway speeds the Escapes control,handling,comfort were are nothing short of excellent, again not a big difference from Hondas and Toyotas but, better it is, and the power from those ecoboost motors mated with 10 speed ATs too were satisfying, I drove the 1.5i3 ecoboost, at idle, there were some minor vibes, but way too less to get noticed. And once past 2500 rpm even the 1'5 had more than enough grunt to pull 4-5 passengers.
      For the drive loop I did the Escape 1'5 gave a reasonable 28 mpg as well, that too with 4 on board and some aggressive driving.

    They will not lower the price as long they will present Ford as high as a Lexus (that's what they compare with, at least in the Montreal area). Now, back to Escape, to be honest, I don't like the exteriordesign yet, (neither RAV4 or CRV; pre-facelift Tucson was OK tough...), but technical speaking, I trust them (I own a 2018 Focus and it is the most fun to drive compact on the market right now, the DCT childhood problems are gone, etc...). All in all, a promising car in this category!

  • @kellingtonlink956
    @kellingtonlink956 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    My wife’s Jetta has VW’s upgraded “Fender Acoustic” (8 speakers, plus 10” sub) and an ‘automatic’ transmission - not another CVT. Those two simple things pushed me to buy it. The RAV4 and the CRV don’t. A good transmission and a great sound system will make up for a lot. Well done Ford. It is very good looking too! The only downside is all that Plastic (plasticy looking pLeather), but as you said... they are all doing this. Thanks for the video.

    • @kellingtonlink956
      @kellingtonlink956 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I miss the days when cars had front bumpers. It gave the front end a "finished" look. The reason they disappeared is that having a front bumper was too "aggressive". So we had to get PC and make the cars more "gentle" and "kinder". Of course, this ignores the fact that the rest of the car will probably injure or kill a pedestrian without a front bumper. But it's the same nonsense thinking that cause the hood ornaments to be removed.

    • @Motormouth...
      @Motormouth...  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not true. The whole front of the car, the bumper, lights and hood are built to collapse and absorb impact for pedestrians and it works.

  • @austenitex-Fe
    @austenitex-Fe 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One thing I didn't like about your review was that you were a bit misleading about the 2.0L engine requiring premium gas. It does not..it runs perfectly without it...with a minor power reduction of 6-7 hp. Premium is recommended, for maximum performance, but in no way should this influence one's choice to get the 2.0L engine....so its not a minus...considering most of the competition cannot even come close to the power of this engine.

I like the clean look of the escape and then I drove one and found it superior to the RAV4, especially the ride , economy of operation and the electronics. I just purchased the titanium and am amazed at how many people come to check it out. And, mostly highway driving I gat between 42 and 43.5 mpg. 😃

      Appearance is only a matter of opinion. I've owned a 4Runner for 18 years, and you're right about Toyota's rep for long-term reliability, but, while ready for something new, the new RAV4's awkward, clunky-looking (to me) exterior is a deal-breaker. I'd also prefer the way the Escape sends power to the rear wheels mechanically, rather than electronically. There's really nothing from Toyota that interests me, anymore.

    Currently driving a 2016 Edge Sport which I really enjoy. Ford needs to come out with a truly sporty Escape ST and it could actually compete with thé Macan at a much more reasonable price point. If they eliminated the glass roof, lowered it down by an inch or so bumped the power to 300 and give us an active exhaust note. In this segment there is no real competition from the Japanese or Koreans for a truly sporty offering. Ford can do it, just look at the Edge and Explorer ST versions.

      They keep moving away from what I liked about the 2010 type models. Space and trunk room. I could load it up and go hunting or to the cottage. Golf bags could fit sideways in the back. The 2015, I have to put the seats down for golf bags. For perspective, our second car is a 2014 Acura ILX and I can fit two golf bags in the trunk. It’s silly I can’t do that in an SUV. The passenger seats are also very uncomfortable in the 2015 model. I won’t complain about them mechanically because they were great. It’s just s lot of other little gripes. As for the Ridgeline, I feel it’s the truck that 90% of truck owners actually need.

Unfortunately, it doesn't allow for much info about the SE Sport Hybrid model, which seems to be the ideal trim level combining enough power, excellent fuel economy, and many desirable features with a price that makes it a better value, overall, than the Titanium. I like the sleekness of the exterior, with the only real negative for me being Ford's well-earned reputation for problematic, newly-introduced vehicles.

    The exterior design is dull, non-interesting, and just plain. The interior is cheap, and tons of plastic. The Mazda CX-5 looks light years better on the exterior design, and interior materials. Plus, the Mazda Turbo can accept non-premium gas just fine, with the same torque as with premium gas (just a little less horsepower, but still way above the base). I'm sorry, but so many of the things you mentioned are still superior on cars like the CX-5 and RAV4 compared to this one.

    -the engine is not peppy like the turbo CRV engine
    -only 4.2 inches LCD display (CRV offers 7 inches)
    -No remote start (CRV offers a remote start)
    - offers less safety features than what CRV, RAV4 and Forester offer.

      Rida Al Osman The CRV has oil consumption issues and a CVT which is enough to put me away from it. Plus, the 1.5 turbo and can be had with the digital tach and the 8 inch screen. Plus the 3 cylinder can tow 500 pounds more than the CRV and the possibly the RAV4.

    • @ridaalosman8030

      Damarius Eaton I agreed with you that Honda cars in general suffer from oil consumption issues. However, I had a 2107 Honda CRV, and currently own a 2020 CRV. I haven’t noticed any oil consumption issues.
      I don’t understand the whole fuss about CVT. Some car manufacturers offer 9/10 speed automatic transmission as an alternative to CVT to save fuel but the transmission is almost never smooth (always chasing the right gear).
      Only the 2.0 turbo engine can tow more than the CRV or RAV4, which I believe cost 41K. For that price, I’d rather buy a premium brand.

    • @damariuseaton6678
      @damariuseaton6678 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rida Al Osman The fuss about the CVT is that they are proven to be less reliable, and I just wouldn't trust a CVT
      Isn't the CRV towing capacity 1,500 pounds? The 1.5 Escape tows 2,000 pounds. I'm not sure what the RAV4 tows, but mind you, these are Canadian dollars, the Escape doesn't run that much in the states. The SEL can be opinioned with the 2.0, making it >$30,000, but right at mark.

      Dennis Xu at least on a hybrid auto start stop makes sense as there is no starter in a hybrid. On a gas engine with a turbo, it’s the most retarded idea, just to make the government retards happy on gas mileage. Of course in real world usage there is no actual gas savings. It just wears out the starter, alternator, battery, turbo, engine internals, etc etc faster than they should.

      There is a starter in a hybrid. It's just not a conventional starter found in gas-only cars.
      It depends. Honda's 1.5L turbo actually gets great fuel economy in the Civic and CR-V. The Civic gets 32/42 mpg. The Corolla 2.0L N/A gets 32/41 mpg.
      That being said I personally don't like auto start stop, but the concept makes total sense. Idling for just 10 seconds uses more gas than starting the engine.
