Edmunds Rating

The Ford Escape provides most of what you'd expect of a small SUV, including a roomy cabin, helpful technology features and very comfortable seats. Storage capability isn't mind-blowing, but it's certainly good enough. The Escape's few but significant drawbacks include unrefined transmission shifting and a lack of handling precision.

Pros

Roomy and comfortable seating
Smooth ride quality
Easy-to-use controls
Available hybrid powertrain that gets around 40 mpg

Cons

Transmission's abrupt shifts
Lackluster handling

What's new

Revised front and rear styling
New Sync 4 infotainment system with larger touchscreen options
New trim levels across lineup and feature availability
Part of the fourth Escape generation introduced for 2020

The 2023 Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV that's both one of Ford's most popular vehicles and one of the best-selling crossovers around today. Slotting below the larger Ford Edge and a rival to the well-known Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the Escape offers multiple powertrains — gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid — plenty of in-car tech, and a variety of standard and available driver aids. We've found the Escape to be comfortable and roomy, and that hybrid powertrain nets some impressive fuel economy.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid EVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of N/A undefined in Virginia.}

For 2023, the Escape receives a significant refresh, with a new look in front and back, the new Sync 4 infotainment system, and an entire lineup that's been overhauled, with new trim levels and slightly different engine and feature availability. The new styling should be an upgrade for most shoppers, as it gives the small SUV a stronger presence with its more upright and squared-off front end. On the inside, the larger infotainment screens not only look more modern, they're also easier to use.

The Escape has rivals from just about every corner. Some of Edmunds' favorites include the CR-V, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5 and Nissan Rogue. Ford itself offers a wide array of SUVs as it's shifted its focus away from car production. Besides the Escape and Edge, Ford also offers the Bronco Sport, which is based on the Escape but has a more rugged, outdoorsy persona. Overall, we like the Escape and think it's worth checking out if you're shopping for a small SUV with a satisfying mix of features, comfort and utility. Check out the Expert Rating below to get our test team's full take on the Escape's utility, comfort and more.

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

6.5/10

How does the Escape drive? We tested the Escape with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. This engine makes plenty of power, allowing it to easily squirt through traffic and accelerate up to highway speeds. In Edmunds' testing, our Escape covered 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds, which is better than most rival small SUVs with an upgraded engine.

Unfortunately, the automatic transmission shifts slowly and can be jerky with its upshifts. Downshifts are similar, and you'll feel multiple small shocks as you decelerate. Even the engine stop-start system bucks the Escape when it restarts the engine as you take your foot off the brake. It all feels terribly unrefined.

The Escape's handling is disappointing too. It rolls a lot and has a ponderous feel as you go around turns. There's not much grip from the tires either. As for the steering, it's very light and low-effort in the default drive mode. Selecting Sport mode gives it more heft and makes it easier to figure out where the front wheels are pointed.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the Escape? Overall, we're happy with the level of comfort the Escape offers. The front seats are well shaped and have a pleasing amount of cushioning. The rear seats are also comfortable and provide a suitable amount of thigh support for adults. Around town and on the highway, the Escape rides in a smooth and composed manner. It's also fairly quiet at speed, with road noise the prevailing source of sound intrusion. Ventilated front seats are not available on any Escape trim.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The Escape's cabin is functional and pleasantly laid out. The primary controls are easy to reach, and the steering wheel buttons take no time to decipher. The touchscreen interface is snappy and simple to operate as well. The driver's seat gives you a commanding view outward, and it's only mildly impeded by the rising beltline toward the rear. The seat itself offers numerous adjustments that make it a cinch to dial in the perfect position. On the downside, the door armrests are a touch too narrow.

We're impressed by the Escape's use of space inside. There's plenty of room all around, and the deeply sculpted front seatbacks afford rear passengers lots of knee room. Headroom might run out for very tall rear occupants on models with the panoramic sunroof. Other than the tall doorsills, there are no issues getting into or out of the Escape.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The Ford Escape's touchscreen looks sharp and reponds quickly. The available navigation system is also easy to use and quick to plan a route. The six-speaker system is excellent for a base system, producing clear audio and punchy bass. The driving aids work well and almost all are standard.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The Escape's cargo area is average for the segment. We like the low floor and high seatbacks, affording you a lot of vertical storage space before luggage cuts into rear visibility. The rear seats don't fold flat, but the outboard seat belts can be disengaged from their seat holsters so there's no obstruction while loading cargo.

Interior storage is much better, with large cubbies in the front and sizable door pockets in the back. All cupholders have anti-tip tabs, which is fairly uncommon in this vehicle class. Easily accessible car-seat anchors and tethers, plus the large rear seat, make it a breeze to load a child safety seat.

Escape models with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds, more than many small SUVs.

Range and Efficiency

7.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? We tested the Escape with the turbo 2.0-liter engine. It gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined in city/highway driving. This is better than most other small SUVs with upgraded engines. Alas, our observed fuel economy with our test vehicle in real-world driving fell short of expectations.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Escape a good value? The Escape's interior has plenty of soft-touch plastics up front, while hard plastics are generally silver, gloss black or otherwise textured in a way that shows effort. The synthetic leather upholstery is surprisingly convincing. The panel gaps are a little inconsistent and the interior door handles feel inexcusably cheap, but overall it's an appealing cabin for the price.

Ford's pricing is competitive, though you'll often have to pay extra to get features that competitors offer on less expensive trims. Ford offers basic warranty coverage for three years/36,000 miles, with powertrain coverage and roadside assistance for five years/60,000 miles. All are average for the class.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Escape doesn't really wow with anything right off the bat. But your appreciation will come after you spend a lot of time with it and start to notice all the thoughtful little things Ford included. It's a perfectly serviceable small crossover SUV, and one that Ford can be proud of.

Which Escape does Edmunds recommend?

For most shoppers on a budget, the Active trim strikes the best balance between price and features by adding several convenience items not offered on the Base Escape. If you plan on keeping your Escape for more than five years while covering a lot of miles, it may make sense to step up to the ST-Line and its hybrid powertrain. It's possible the extra upfront cost could more than pay for itself over time.

Ford Escape models

The 2023 Escape is a small SUV available in seven trim levels: Base, Active, PHEV, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite and Platinum. There are four available powertrains, including a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid, within this lineup. Keep reading for our rundown of each configuration and the Escape's standard and optional features.

The Base, Active and ST-Line trims are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (180 horsepower, 199 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. All-wheel drive is available as an option.

The ST-Line Select and higher trims upgrade to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (250 hp, 280 lb-ft) with standard all-wheel drive.

But also be aware that Ford makes the ST-Line and higher trims available with a fuel-sipping 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain (192 total system horsepower) that drives the wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Finally, there's the Escape PHEV with a plug-in version of the hybrid engine. It has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, combining for 210 total horsepower, and joined to a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard. Unlike gas-only and regular hybrid Escape models, the Escape Plug-In Hybrid does not offer all-wheel drive. On a fully charged battery, the Escape Plug-In can travel about 37 miles on electric power, after which it switches to regular gas-electric hybrid operation. Recharging the 14.4-kWh battery pack takes 3.5 hours with a Level 2 charger, or 10-11 hours using a 110-volt household power outlet.

5/5 stars, Solid vehicle that gets better over time

Rob, 04/23/2022

SEL 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I've had this vehicle for a while now and I'll be honest, when I first got it...I thought that that the 8-speed transmission was a little strange and the vehicle had uneven performance. Some days it would perform flawlessly and other days the transmission would gear hunt, shift hard, throw in an odd shift or shift too slowly. I even looked it up and thought it was a DCT transmission, …

5/5 stars, Remarkable mileage!

John S, 04/29/2022

Titanium Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

Just purchased 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid AWD. Excellent driving feel and hugs the road. Nicely built with no flaws I can find. The mileage after 150 mixed roads miles is a remarkable 42 mpg. The gas gauge barely budged at 1/8 tank used 400 plus mile range remaining. This an SUV not a Prius! The hybrid power train uses the electric mode frequently with flawless engagement of the gas engine …

3/5 stars, Idk…

Alex T, 04/22/2022

SEL Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

Had the car a week and a half so far. Pretty SUV. Love the sunroof. Been averaging 36 mpg. The fake leather material loves jeans, I got it in the sandstone color and have already had to use leather wipes to get the blue stain off. Has 3 different rattling noises. One is the B&O subwoofer in the trunk. Can’t listen to music at any volume, whether the bass is turned all the way down or all …

4/5 stars, Overall, a nice surprise of an SUV!

NoahBee, 07/01/2022

SEL Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

My wife and I were looking for our first SUV during one of the most frustrating times to buy a vehicle. Eventually, we were able to test drive a CX-5, CR-V, and a RAV4 Hybrid. We were pretty set on the RAV4 Hybrid and didn’t even think about an Escape. However, one caught our eye on the road and we decided to look into it. My wife’s family has had a lot of trouble with Escapes in the … past so it wasn’t in consideration from the beginning. However, an SEL Hybrid happened to be in stock nearby so we decided to give it a test drive. In the last 2 months of owning the vehicle, there is a lot to like here. First of all, the driving experience is superior to the RAV4 Hybrid especially. The RAV handles more like a truck/big SUV, whereas the Escape Hybrid feels more athletic with a smoother ride. The fuel economy is also excellent. We’ve been averaging around 40 MPG which is great during high gas prices. In terms of features, our favorite is the CoPilot add on that has adaptive cruise and lane centering, which basically drives the car for you and it is excellent. The steering wheel makes tiny adjustments and isn’t too jarring. The infotainment system is also the best in my opinion as it works smoothly and the layout is pleasing. The exterior design of the car is also quite nice. It looks cleaner and more minimalistic than the RAV and nearly has a Porsche Cayenne look to it. Having said all these positives, it is certainly not perfect. My biggest pet peeve is the interior quality. When you’re spending around $35K on a vehicle, you want it to feel nice. Unfortunately, the Escape uses a lot of hard plastics and easily scratched materials that make it feel more like a rental car — which makes sense as the Escape is a common fleet vehicle. While you’re ultimately looking for reliability and dependability in a vehicle, interior quality is secondary but still important. Luckily, the leatherette seats are quite comfortable and the back seats actually slide forward for additional cargo space. Overall, the Escape is a surprisingly good little SUV. It has a great feature set and a nice driving experience with relatively athletic handling. I expect the Hybrid drivetrain to be pretty reliable as it’s still based on Toyota tech. On top of it all, Fords financing is excellent and offers 0% financing, and with a few rebates, we got it below MSRP. My biggest complaint is the interior quality and the over-reliance on plastics. Overall, if you can get past that, the Escape is a great alternative to the competition that stands out when you look at the price tag.

Top 10 Best Compact SUVs | Ranking the Best Small SUVs of 2021

RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Like a lot of you, I have a ton to do today. Later on I'm going to leave work, pick up the kiddo, load up all of our camping gear, and then take the family out to our favorite spot where we might do some off roading before we set up. So, what's the best car for handling all that action? Here at Edmunds, we think it's a compact SUV. They have enough size for trips, enough comfort for passengers, and good fuel economy for longer drives. If you're thinking about one but don't know where to start it's our top 10 best compact SUV rankings. At Edmunds, we have rankings for every car, truck, and SUVs. That we test so head to edmunds.com if you're in the market for any vehicle. Also, hit like and subscribe so you'll be the first to see Edmunds videos when they come out. And go to edmunds.com/sellmycar to get a cash offer on the vehicle in your driveway right now. So, what goes into the Edmunds rankings? First, our test team puts each vehicle through a rigorous workout. They log their capabilities, spaciousness, and efficiency. Then we score them in dozens of categories, add up all the points, and voila. A top 10 ranking. Up first is the Ford Bronco Sport, also known by its other name the 2021-- no, not the big Bronco. Think a little smaller, not as tough. Yeah, that one. The Bronco Sport is a compact and boxy SUV with some impressive capability under its belt that makes it great for carving dirt trails or splashing through some mud. Unfortunately, competitors are more comfortable and more spacious. And both its steering and braking just aren't up to par. It's the equivalent of casting big budget stars in your movie and then totally botching the plot. We still like the punchy 2 liter turbo, and there's plenty of personality on board. Just don't expect the real Bronco sized experience. Next, we have the Ford Escape I know what you're thinking they still make the Ford Escape. First of all, yes they do. Rude. And second of all, even though the Bronco Sport and Escape are built on the same platform, the Escape is more refined. Unlike the Bronco Sport, the Escape is comfortable on the road and pretty deft at handling curves. The interior is also nicer place to be because of easy to use controls and plenty of space for passengers, even in the back where the Bronco Sport trips up. Listen, we really don't have many complaints about the Escape other than it's just not that exciting. It's the Almond Joy of SUVs. No one gets mad at it but it's just Almond Joy. How many people do with a Toyota RAV4? Exactly. This has been one of the most popular vehicles, not just SUVs, vehicles in the country for many years. When this version came out in 2019, we drove it across the country and didn't find many weak spots. The RAV4 is a well rounded SUV that you can find for an attractive price. And it isn't going to give you headaches when it comes to space, comfort, or efficiency. Speaking of efficiency, we think the RAV4 Hybrid is actually a better buy if you can swing it. But on the standard RAV4, Toyota even sprinkles a little bit of extra capability with up to 8.6% inches of ground clearance. Not too shabby for the class at all. Look, it may not be exceptional at any one thing. But for most people, that's OK. Plus, it looks really good when it's dirty. Matter of fact, I should take one of my camping trip right now. Speaking of being exceptional at one thing, let's talk about the Jeep Wrangler shall we? Coming in at number 7 on our list, the Wrangler is one of the most recognizable vehicles you can buy today. Every part, every bolt, every measurement is tailored specifically for off roading. You can climb up hills, you can crunch over obstacles, and you can definitely rock crawl in a Wrangler. And I can't say that about any other SUV on this list. What makes it so capable? Simple, it gives 0 [BEEP] about ride comfort, steering feel, or wind noise. But I'm going to let you in on a little secret. It actually does care about fuel economy. You can get a 2 liter Wrangler, a diesel Wrangler, and even a plug-in hybrid Wrangler. What a time to be alive, right? OK. Now we're starting to put it all together. The Jeep Cherokee, our number six pick, is a smart crossover SUV. Why smart? Because on one hand it's rugged and has pretty serious off road chops. While on the other hand, it also feels good to drive on the road and is sophisticated enough for a night out. First of all, it's a Jeep so you know it can hit a trail no problem. If you get the Trailhawk trim, it's a legit off roader. But for most of you, the important stuff is this comfortable interior, a responsive feeling behind the wheel, and a good combination of technology and upscale materials. This is a crossover with a little attitude. People are constantly asking me for car buying advice. But then they don't always take it. That's a shame because I give great advice. Anyhoo, one of the cars that actually does make their ears perk up is the Subaru Forester. You can always tell when someone is a Forester person from a mile away. They like being different from the norm. They don't mind getting a little dirty. They have anywhere from 1 to 17 dogs. You know, Subaru stuff. The Forester comes with standard all wheel drive. But the thing that a lot of people don't know is the advanced safety system called eyesight is one of the best that we've tested. All my friends with Foresters love them. And I know this for a fact because Subaru owners are contractually obligated to talk your ear off about their Subaru. The redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson looks like it could get the kids to school in the morning and great a 100 pound block of parmesan at night. I mean there is a lot going on with this design. But once you open the doors, you'll see why this new SUV has shot to the top of our rankings. The Tucson is extremely well appointed with excellent seats, soft materials all over the place, and an a-plus smooth ride on the road. We like it. We just don't like its engine very much. It took more than 10 seconds for this four cylinder to get the Tucson from 0 to 60 miles an hour. Yikes. But, I have a solution for that. Its hybrid version. It's the quickest hybrid SUV in the class and keeps all of the comfort of the gas version just obviously with better fuel economy. Just keep it away from your cheese. Next up is the Nissan Rogue, which you might be surprised to see here. After all, the Rogue hasn't been one of our highest rated compact SUVs in the past. But something crazy must have happened over at Nissan HQ because we were left impressed with this redesigned 2021 model. It's got a blocky new design, it's actually pretty fun to drive, and the interior on top trim levels is surprisingly plush. The biggest thing however, is that it's supremely easy to use. Nissan designed the Rogue to be your helpful pal and it fills that role nicely. There are all kinds of spacious areas to store your stuff. And the rear cargo area is among the largest in the class. Even better, the divide and hide cargo management system can be configured to keep items in place or create maximum storage space or hide your stuff from outsiders. Nifty thinking, Nissan. Earlier I told you that people only really take my car advice on two vehicles, the Subaru Forester and this one. The Mazda CX-5. Why I mean just look at it when have you ever seen a compact SUV that made you stop and say, dang. It looks sleek, it looks sporty, it looks-- I hate this word-- but it looks dynamic. And it drives exactly how it looks. CX-5 is really sharp on the road. I mean it's a Mazda, it's what they do. But beyond that the five also has a gorgeous interior. Even on bass levels the styling is just first class. And its highest trim called the signature is legit luxurious. I like it so much I have a 2020 CX-5 at home. Turns out I give pretty good advice. People should listen to me more. Finally, we're up to number one on our list. And if you've ever attended a PTA meeting, this will come as no surprise. It's the Honda CRV. The CRV is a smart choice. Sure, it has powerful engines, quiet ride, and nice seats. And there's great cargo capacity. I mean like exceptional cargo capacity. But most of all, the CRV just doesn't really have weaknesses. It can be the smooth daily commuter, it can be the mountain bike hauler, it can be the winter ski vehicle with an all wheel drive system that pulls you out of the snow when you accidentally drive into a drift. Don't ask me how I know. Most of all, the CRV nails the basics. And adds a lot of value into every trim level on top of that. You may have to pay a little more than some rivals for the privilege. but in our estimation, the CRV experience is worth it. Hey, that was fun. Compact SUV can be fun. You know, these aren't the most exciting vehicles on the road. But with a little imagination there's all kinds of things you can do with them. Whether you decide to go with an Escape or a CX-5 or anything else on this list, it can all carry lots of stuff and keep you and your passengers comfortable on the road for a long time. So if you really want a compact SUV that makes you happy, you should do one thing. Go outside and enjoy it. Don't forget to hit like and subscribe so you'll be the first to see Edmunds videos when they come out. And if you're in the market to sell your car, go to edmunds.com/sellmycar to get a cash offer on the vehicle in your driveway right now. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Ford Escape vs. Ford Bronco Sport

The Ford Bronco Sport is the Escape's more rugged cousin. They're roughly the same size, though the Bronco Sport has a boxier body style. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, while AWD costs extra in most Escapes. With that factored in, they're about the same in starting price. The Escape does have the slight edge over the Bronco Sport in its fuel economy and cargo space. However, if you plan on going off-road, the Bronco Sport will be the more capable of the two.

Compare Ford Escape & Ford Bronco Sport features

Ford Escape vs. Toyota RAV4

Though the Toyota RAV4 isn't at the top of Edmunds' rankings, it is one of the top-selling compact SUVs on the market, which means people have voted with their wallets and it's worth taking into consideration. The RAV4 has more power in its base engine and a touch more cargo space than the Escape. Toyota also offers the RAV4 Hybrid, which is a comparable rival to the Escape Hybrid.

Compare Ford Escape & Toyota RAV4 features

Ford Escape vs. Nissan Rogue

If the Rogue wasn't on your shopping list before, perhaps it should be. Its latest redesign has given it a shot of adrenaline and it has climbed up the Edmunds rankings. Its base engine has more power than the Escape's, plus better fuel economy to boot. In the Escape's favor are its additional engine options plus a more pleasing-to-use center touchscreen interface.

2023 Ford Escape First Impressions

byReese Counts

•1/18/2022

What is the Escape?

The 2023 Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV that's both one of Ford's most popular vehicles and one of the best-selling crossovers around today. Slotting between the even smaller Ford EcoSport and the larger Ford Edge, the Escape offers multiple powertrains — gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid — lots of in-car tech, and a variety of standard and available driver aids. We've found the Escape to be comfortable and roomy, and that hybrid powertrain nets some impressive fuel economy.

While Ford hasn't made any official announcements, spy photos we've seen show prototype Escape models with camouflaged front and rear bumpers, suggesting that a midcycle update is on the way for 2023. The fourth-generation model debuted in 2020, and mainstream cars and SUVs like the Escape tend to get full redesigns every five to six years, with a handful of updates and refreshes along the way. A refresh for 2023 would bring updated exterior styling, and we wouldn't be surprised if Ford offers improved powertrains or updated tech and driver aids. We have some issues with the Escape's slow, jerky transmission, so we hope Ford addresses powertrain refinement too.

The Escape has rivals from just about every corner. Some of Edmunds' favorites include the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 and Nissan Rogue. Ford itself offers a wide array of SUVs as it's shifted its focus away from car production. In addition to the EcoSport and Edge, Ford offers the Bronco and Bronco Sport as well as larger models including the Explorer and Expedition, though all but the EcoSport have base prices higher than the Escape's. While we don't think the Escape is the class leader, it offers a solid mix of features, comfort and utility.

Edmunds says

Ford hasn't made any official announcements, but we have a suspicion that the Ford Escape is getting a refresh sometime soon. Stick with Edmunds as we'll continue to update our information on the 2023 Escape as we learn more.

Should I lease or buy a 2023 Ford Escape?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
