Shopping for a small crossover presents a dizzying array of options, but the Ford Escape is a smart choice among a crop of great contenders. It offers a choice of three engines, an impressive voice-command interface, and cargo space that ranks near the top of the class. After a thorough update last year, the 2018 Escape offers a new trim level that bridges the gap between standard and luxury models.

The Escape offers optional all-wheel drive, respectable fuel economy, cargo space that ranks near the top of the class (only Toyota and Honda offer more) and an available hands-free power liftgate. You can outfit the Escape from comfortable casual (SE trim with no options) to rugged luxury (a loaded Titanium model that can breach $40,000). On the road, its agility instills a level of driver confidence that's rare in this class.

After a more comprehensive update last year that introduced a new four-cylinder engine and improved things such as smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were introduced) and small-item storage (the lever-mounted parking brake was replaced with a button), the 2018 Escape now offers a SEL trim level that bridges the gap between the more mainstream SE model and the luxury fixings of the Titanium.

Overall, the Escape excels in some areas and falls short in others. With its turbo four-cylinder, quick (if twitchy) steering, and tight suspension, the Escape is one of the more engaging compact SUVs to drive, only outmatched by the Mazda CX-5. Large cargo space and an excellent tech interface are other advantages. On the other hand, the Escape isn't quite as refined as the Honda or Mazda, its "fun" engine is only available on its top trim level, and that "fun" engine doesn't return particularly impressive fuel economy. But generally we think the 2018 Escape's qualities outweigh its flaws and deserves a close look from anyone interested in a compact SUV.

Trim levels & features

The 2018 Escape is a compact crossover SUV that comes in S, SE, SEL and Titanium trim levels. The S is fairly bare-bones, so we expect most buyers will want to start their search with an SE, which offers an upgraded engine, nicer wheels, a power-adjustable driver seat and more available options. The new-for-2018 SEL trim level adds more convenience features while the top-trim Titanium adds luxury touches and an even more powerful engine.

The S starts with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (168 horsepower, 170 pound-feet of torque), a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Standard features include 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, MyKey parental controls, cruise control, air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, a 60/40-split folding and reclining rear seat, a 4.2-inch central display, a rearview camera, the Sync tech interface with AppLink smartphone integration, Bluetooth, and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player and a USB port. Note that this model is generally aimed at business fleet buyers and may not be easy to find on your local dealer's lot.

Upgrading to the SE adds 17-inch alloy wheels (optional on the S), added chrome exterior trim, sound-reducing window glass, a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine (179 hp, 177 lb-ft), roof rails, foglights, a keyless entry keypad, rear privacy glass, dual-zone automatic climate control, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, rear air vents, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat (with power lumbar adjustment), heated front seats, upgraded cloth upholstery, a rear center armrest and satellite radio.

Optional on the SE is all-wheel drive and a Sport Appearance package that adds black 19-inch wheels, black-painted exterior trim, LED daytime running lights, paddle shifters, partial leather upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The optional Sync 3 tech package includes an 8-inch touchscreen, enhanced voice controls, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Sync Connect (includes remote app services and onboard Wi-Fi) and a nine-speaker sound system with dual USB ports. A panoramic sunroof, roof rail crossbars, a navigation system, and a tow package rated up to 2,000 pounds are also optional.

The SEL bundles all SE equipment and adds a power liftgate, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, leather upholstery, power-adjustable side mirrors with heating, rear parking sensors and the Sync 3 tech interface. Eighteen-inch wheels are optional on the SEL, along with all of the options available for the SE trim.

At the top of the lineup is the Titanium. It bundles all SEL features but adds a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (245 hp, 275 lb-ft), a six-speed automatic transmission, 18-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, keyless entry and ignition, remote start, ambient interior lighting, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, xenon headlights, heated and 10-way power-adjustable front seats, driver-seat memory settings, a 110-volt, household-style power outlet, and additional 12-volt power outlets. Also standard are a navigation system, a 10-speaker Sony audio system with HD radio, front and rear parking sensors, and an automated parallel and perpendicular parking feature (which includes front and side parking sensors).

Titanium options are similar to SEL options, with the exception of optional 19-inch wheels and an uprated tow package capable of pulling up to 3,500 pounds.

A Safe and Smart package is available for the SE, SEL and Titanium trims, and it includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning and intervention, and automatic wipers.

Trim tested

Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions, although trim levels share many aspects. The ratings in this review are based on our test of the 2013 Ford Escape Titanium AWD (turbo 2.0L inline-4 | 6-speed automatic | AWD).

NOTE: Since this test was conducted, the current generation Escape has been updated with new infotainment features and driver aids. Our findings remain broadly applicable to this year's Escape, however.

Driving

3.5

The turbo four-cylinder gives the Escape rapid acceleration. Unlike many competitors, the Escape also feels lively going around turns. The transmission is a smooth operator as well.

Acceleration

4.5

The turbocharged 2.0-liter engine is powerful, and it makes accelerating up to highway speeds and passing slow-moving traffic a breeze. In our testing, an Escape Titanium accelerated from zero to 60 mph in an impressively quick 7.1 seconds.

Braking

3.5

Brake performance is solid and consistent. The Escape is very stable, even during our panic-simulation stop tests. In everyday driving, the brakes offer linear response and feel.

Steering

It has an artificial steering feel, which is the norm these days for compact SUVs. Still, there's enough feedback to make you feel in control.

Handling

All-wheel-drive Escapes benefit from an advanced power distribution system that makes the Escape a capable handler as well as a solid all-weather choice. Front-wheel-drive Escapes also feel sure-footed thanks to the well-tuned suspension.

Drivability

In most situations, the transmission responds quickly. It does get caught flat-footed on occasion, but not any more often than most SUVs in this class.

Comfort

3.5

Overall comfort is good in the Escape. Its ride is amply compliant, even though it's one of the better-handling SUVs in the segment.

Seat comfort

We like the Escape's seats because they provide all-day comfort. Heating, an option on some trim levels, is a nice touch.

Ride comfort

The Escape has a surprisingly comfy ride — surprising because it trades off very little in the way of ride quality in return for its excellent handling.

Noise & vibration

The Escape's turbo four-cylinder is much quieter than some competitors, especially at wide-open throttle. It also remains very smooth even at high engine speeds.

Climate control

The climate control cluster (and LCD readout) feels as if it came from a mid-'90s Taurus, but hey, it works. You'll find large vents up front and center console vents for rear passengers but no temperature or fan speed control.

Interior

3.5

For the most part, the interior design makes sense and is easy to use. It's loaded with features, too, especially on the Titanium trim level. The quality of materials and assembly is good.

Ease of use

Ford has made it a point to place commonly used controls within reach and in sight, and it shows in the Escape. It may not look very elegant, but everything is where you would expect to find it.

Getting in/getting out

The seat height in the Escape is just right. Similar to entering a minivan, there's no bending down to get in.

Driving position

The eight-way power driver seat in the SE trim is a nice touch (changed to 10-way adjustable for 2018). The combination of the seat and a manual tilt-and-telescope steering wheel makes it easy to find a comfortable perch.

Roominess

We had no problems fitting comfortably into either the front or back seats, but the Escape doesn't have a sense of spaciousness like the roomier Honda CR-V.

Visibility

Visibility out the front and the rear is only average. The Escape is definitely not as airy or as easy to see out of as some of its competitors.

Quality

Build quality is as good as you can expect in a vehicle in this price range. Materials appear durable and well put together.

Utility

You'll be able to haul a decent amount of stuff by using the Escape's available 68 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. That's not as much room as in the Honda CR-V but on par with rest of the class.

Small-item storage

The center console space is much improved as the Escape now has an electronic parking brake button instead of a handle. There are several nooks for devices, keys, cups and bottles, and a deep, narrow center console for larger items. Both front seats have seatback pockets for rear passengers.

Cargo space

The 60/40-split folding rear seats fold flat and flush to enhance cargo area and utility. There's no seatback release in the cargo area, so you'll need to walk around to the rear doors, but the seat-side levers make it quick work.

Child safety seat accommodation

LATCH anchors are at the seatback surface, so there's no need to fumble and search under the cushion. Reinforcement anchors in the rear seatbacks are similarly easy to access.

Towing

Rated to tow as few as 1,500 pounds (base model S) up to 3,500 pounds with the 2.0-liter engine and the optional Class II trailer tow package. The 1.5-liter engine is rated at 2,000 pounds.

Technology

The new Sync 3 is one of the easiest touchscreen tech interfaces to use. We like the clear touchscreen graphics, quick response times and the easily navigable menus.

Audio & navigation

The SE's optional nine-speaker audio system won't impress audiophiles but should sound fine to most. (We haven't evaluated the 10-speaker Sony audio system.) The navigation system offers clear map views and easy menu functions.

Smartphone integration

Easy Bluetooth pairing. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now included with optional Sync 3 system. FordPass with Sync Connect app enables various remote functions and vehicle health monitoring, even helps to find parking. AppLink (base model S) enables voice control of various smartphone apps.

Driver aids

A rearview camera and blind-spot mirrors come standard, but blind-spot monitoring costs extra. Forward collision alert and lane departure warning and intervention are also optional.

Voice control

Ford's Sync system has excellent voice recognition. It understands just about anything you say and is quick to respond.

2018 FORD ESCAPE is a Good Value

Greg in West Chester Ohio,01/09/2018

This vehicle is indeed a good value. I purchased a Ford Escape S. Base model that still has plenty of features to make driving this vehicle easy. The interior is a bit busy and maybe a bit dated. Backup camera screen is smaller than others but is functional. Handling is good - the vehicle feels solid. SYNC for android phone is very good. Balance of front versus rear seat room is

Love my 2018 Ford Escape S

Matt A.,01/18/2018

This review is for the base model. I thought I needed all the “bell’s & whistles” and discovered I don’t. This compact CUV has the same 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine that my 2016 Ford Fusion SE had. I never had any problems or issues with this engine. Somehow this engine seems more spirited in the 2018 Ford Escape. I’m more than satisfied. The Escape has enough interior room for

Familiarity breeds content

Gene O.,08/07/2018

This is my second Escape (third if you count my 2005 Mazda Tribute), so I guess the vehicle design suits me. I've only owned this one for a little over a week, so the true test of durability is non-existent, and I'm not exactly the best person to review anything, but here goes. The Escape is more utilitarian for me as it is Sunday drive vehicle, and the cargo space meets my needs due to the rear seats folding down flat. I can easily fit lots of music gear, 6' long folding tables, recyclable materials, etc in the back. The rest of the interior seems to be well enough constructed and has enough storage for me (the newer design is much better than my 2014 Escape SE). My iTunes plays flawlessly via bluetooth, and the sound system has more than adequate fidelity. The navigation, although very accurate, can lead you down some questionable roads, as we found out when trying to get back on our main route while out in a very rural, and unfamiliar area of the state. But in the process I did find out that the Escape (along with my competent driving skills) is capable of negotiating a meandering, bumpy, barely one-lane rock and dirt road (more like a path) through the woods that is probably only traveled by 4-wheel ATVs. It could have turned out badly, but we made it through unscathed! The 2.0L EcoBoost engine has more than enough power for me (even the 1.5L was plenty) and seems to operate more smoothly than the 1.5L. The engine auto-stop feature is new to me and took a little getting used to. I find that the best approach is to anticipate when I need to accelerate and lift my foot barely off the brake just prior to accelerating, ensuring that the engine is re-started when it's time to move, otherwise there is a hesitation that - if you are wanting to make a quick move - may be a little unnerving. If you can't anticipate, then just wait. It only takes a second or so for the engine to kick back on. Since I'm rarely in a big hurry these days, I guess it's kind of a moot point. My Escape has just enough tech and comfort features without being ridiculous (i.e. I have the little wide-angle mirrors in the corner of the side view mirror to check my blind spot rather than idiot lights that tell me a car is there. I prefer to be able to *see when a car is in the blind spot, or approaching it, rather than rely on a sensor that is either on or off... and I don't need sensors to keep me centered in a lane!). The automatic rear view mirror nighttime sensor is interesting, and the auto rear hatch lift is nifty, but are either necessary? Not really. But the features that I'm glad to have and look forward to using in the winter are the heated seats and heated steering wheel! Yipee! One design flaw that I noticed this past weekend was the lack of insulating material in the roof where the sunglasses storage is. After sitting in the sun on an 87 degree day for a few hours I found that the metal stems on my sunglasses were VERY hot to the touch. A little bit of thin insulating material in that roof area would help a lot. Also, Ford needs to step up the quality of their painting process. My 2014 Escape SE has some blistering on the lower inside edge of one of the doors, and a couple spots inside the edge of the hatch. Not good. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt by purchasing another car, and I hope I don't have the same issue. If so, my next vehicle won't be a Ford. I drove a few compact SUVs before purchasing another Escape, and they were all just fine, and I could've bought anyone of them. But it came down to the price for the trim I wanted, familiarity of the model, and my positive relationship with the dealership that sold me.

Surprisingly amazed

Phil,06/21/2018

I bought my new 2018 Escape yesterday. My family has a Honda CR-V and a BMW X3 SUVs. We didn't expect too much for Ford Escape. Now I'm enjoying it. I like its style. I was attracted by its beautiful exterior and value. The seating and ride quality are much better than our CR-V EX, I'm comparing it when it was new. There is virtually no wind noise with Ford Escape. Wish it has bigger

Ford Escape vs. the competition

2018 Ford Escape

2018 Honda CR-V

Ford Escape vs. Honda CR-V

The Ford Escape can be a little more fun to drive than the Honda CR-V if it's equipped with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (though it's only available on the top-level Titanium trim). We also prefer its infotainment interface. The CR-V earns higher marks for its upscale interior design and superior utility. The CR-V ends up with a higher Edmunds overall star rating of 4 stars.

Compare Ford Escape & Honda CR-V features

Ford Escape vs. Chevrolet Equinox

The Equinox's advantages relate mainly to its newer design — Chevy fully redesigned the Equinox for the 2018 model year. It offers a smoother ride than the Escape and a fuel-efficient diesel engine option. Overall, the Equinox is a nicer vehicle, but you'll typically pay less to get an Escape.

Compare Ford Escape & Chevrolet Equinox features

Ford Escape vs. Nissan Rogue

The Nissan Rogue is one of the few vehicles in this class to offer a third-row seat. That will be an advantage if you occasionally need to carry extra passengers, especially if they're small. The Rogue has more cargo space, too. But it is kind of a snooze to drive. We prefer the Escape's driving acumen, especially when equipped with the optional turbo 2.0-liter engine (Titanium model only).

Should I lease or buy a 2018 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.
