2019, Titanium 2.0 Turbo AWD Escape not on my radar screen until last year when I was shopping for a smaller car for stepson. He got the small car but there was a 2017 Escape that was just coming in from test drive I asked to drive it as I liked the look of it. Wow I really liked the sporty drive. Since that time I researched about 20 small SUV and drove 5 of them. I also learned that the Escape was originally the German Built KUGA brought to USA in 2013. Ford has been refining and improving this model for many years and it shows in drive and quality. I found some of the other best seller "perceived" high quality SUV's to be a disappointment in my driving experience and negative reviews by some owners were shocking. Edmunds calls out lack of interior quality, dated and dash, and poor fuel economy. I disagree. Quality looks good to me. I like the dash layout including cluster, radio and screen setup, and big well placed air vents to cool down quickly. I average 23mpg zipping around town including short off and on Frwy ramps. I haven't taken a road trip yet. If you compare that to any other AWD SUV in the same range of 245 HP that's about what you get. It's worth it to me to have the acceleration available when I need it. I find it is often safer to have the ability to speed up to merge or avoid a situation than just hope others avoid me. I mostly drive in regular mode but drop to sport mode on some Freeway ramps with the big circular entrance ramp and also if slogging in slow Freeway Traffic 40-55 to bring the RPM from 1200 to 1800-2000 for better response. Thankfully you can turn off the annoying stop/start "feature" that stops the engine at every stop light. It works, I just don't like it,and if you are trying to cool down or heat up the car you wont like it either. I have read that other vehicles don't allow you to turn it off. I understand the totally redesigned Escape comes out soon. I hope that all works out, but I'm glad I got mine and with the current BIG discounts off MSRP I don't believe you can get a better vehicle for the price or anything close to it that will cost many thousands more.

I have owned thirty cars in my life, never had one built this well. After two and a half years there has not been one single issue, not so much as a loose thread. It amazes me, just as solid as when I bought it, by the way it is a 2017 SE with the optional 2 liter engine and all wheel drive. The acceleration is great.

I still love my 2019 Escape

Bought my new Escape Titanium on September 7, 2019. This replaced our 2013 Subaru Crosstrek Limited. The Ford blows the Subaru away. The 245 HP is so nice to have. I really like how it can pass and merge like a sports car (ok not a Porsche) but it really has some power. A lot more than the Crosstrek. The interior is way more upscale and the ride is a lot more refined. I got mine with the Class II tow package and having the ability to tow 3,500 pounds is a nice extra to have. I have 10,210 miles on my Escape and I am averaging 24.6 mpg. This was a mix of 50% highway and 50% city. My Crosstrek average a little over 27 mpg. The sacrifice of 3 mpg is so well worth it when I compare the power, the handling, the interior, oh and did I mention all of the technology? There is a ton and it is really awesome. Love the Apple Car Play and the SYNC 3. Well I hope this review helps you make up your mind. It came down to the Escape and the Edge and in the end I felt the Escape was the better value for me. The Escape continues to perform well. It handled winter just fine here in New Hampshire. Looking forward to many more carefree miles. Update: 3-10-2021 the Escape still continues to impress. The remote start feature has sure come in handy for this past winter 20/21. Love having the steering wheel all toasty.

I had to have a brand new engine put in at a little over 31k miles. Apparently, this is an ongoing issue that Ford refuses to address in the Escapes. I spent way too much money on this car to have to worry about engine problems. Lucky for me, it was still under warranty!

After 5 CRV’s we love our Escape

Get the 2.0 engine as a necessity. It’s smooth, powerful, and quiet. We went with the Titanium since our last CRV was a Touring. Honda makes a great vehicle, but their “infotainment” systems just suck. My wife is primary driver on a 110 mile commute for her job and she loves the Sync 3 system. Gas mileage is not as good as the Honda, but she loves all the extra horses. We both think this is probably one of the best vehicles we have owned in 50 years of driving out of the 62 we have had in the driveway
