Great Escape!

We could not be more pleased with the new Escape! A few weeks after purchase we drove almost 2000 miles on vacation and the vehicle did wonderfully. Our highway mileage was 39 even through the mountains. We averaged 44-46 around town. Ford’s active driving aids are easy to use, work flawlessly, and make driving long distances relaxing. As an owner of a BMW, a Lincoln, a Honda, and a Tesla, I can say from experience that the Ford/Lincoln adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist systems are some of the best. The car is also very comfortable. No fatigue or back issues after driving. The interior is not luxury car standards in quality, but clean, comfortable, and well laid out. I am impressed with the interior noise level and the fact that a car the only cost $38,000 has laminated windows and other sound deadening aids. Ford’s Sync system also works well for navigation, traffic, music, and phone calls. The voice recognition is excellent.

We had an Escape previously and really liked it. Never had any trouble except replacing the battery (normal maintenance). Easy car to get around for two mature folks. I didn't like the torque steer (front wheel drive) but my wife really liked it (her car). The new Titanium literally drives itself if you want it to. It's got radar sensors all around the car to keep you aligned and not tailgating the car in front of you.It has all wheel drive so not torque steer. It's a smaller SUV that's perfect for a couple of people. It has alot of buttons, knobs and data everywhere Even has a heads up display like a jet fighter. It also has the 2.0 Liter Turbo that gets with it..

2020 Escape Titanium

I purchased a 2020 Escape Titanium AWD in December 2019. I am thoroughly impressed by the design, technology and performance. The 2 liter turbo provides great performance, especially in sport mode. With the advanced cruise control in economy mode I am able to exceed the projected mileage on long trips. It handles and rides great and has proven to be a very functional and comfortable vehicle for both the city and highway for me any my wife. Much improved over the earlier Escape models and stands out among the competition.

SUPER CAR

I purchased a 2020 Ford Escape Titanium in November 2019. i also drove a similar 2019 model. No comparison, the 2020 is far superior. Everything Ford has done in the redesign is positive. The 2020 costs a little more, but well worth the additional costs. Technology abounds in this SUV. Smooth ride and plenty of power with the 250 HP engine. Rear set legroom is amazing with the ability to move the rear seats. If you are looking at a 2019 at a lower price, be sure to drive a 2020 before you decide. My bet is that you will buy the 2020. All the latest technology and Ford intuition is in the 2020. drive the latest thing on the street from Ford. You will not be sorry. Truly a great SUV.

It's a HOME RUN....and 600 MILES range to a tank!

After much research on compact SUVs and the usual bias towards Toyota and Honda, and after test drives, decided to take a chance on the 2020 Escape - hybrid Titanium package. Am I glad I did! THIS PRODUCT IS A HOME RUN from Ford in its category. After close to a month of ownership, I am simply blown away at every aspect - from quality of build, to handling, to interior space, to performance, and to even aesthetics when compared to the RAV4 and CRV. Being a new owner, I can't speak to reliability or durability but there is no reason to believe they will be materially different from Toyota or Honda, given the global nature of present day automobile platforms. Escape has a distinctly Euro look and feel to it inside including a sleek instrument panel - more like a information display panel since it is all one big screen it appears. Navigation and camera images are crisp and HD with convenient touch controls. Ford autopilot is as good as any (better than the Audi Q7's that I have). Get this - I got a whopping 600 MILES IN ONE TANK OF GAS (the one I drove out of the dealer lot with)! Averaging around 42 MPG. Yes, some of the inside plastic could feel more 'high end' but plastic is plastic no matter how it looks or feels. And that seems to be the order of the day in all autos these days. If any con - the rear seat could be an inch deeper (thigh length). Other than that this is a product you don't need to hesitate to buy! GOOD JOB Ford, ensure reliability and durability and you are #1.
