Purchased 2023 ford escape hybrid top of the line model loaded. Enjoy car very much except for fords electric only range, ford rates escape hybrid 37 miles electric only. My ford escape hybrid get 21 miles per full charge. I feel ripped off but now I’m stuck with this poor performance on electric power only.

I rented a brand new 2023 Escape ST Line from Enterprise from San Francisco Airport. I own a RAV4 Hybrid and have been curious how an Escape compares. Since this was a newest refresh of the Escape, I took it over an older Sportage and a Compass. The Escape struggled to get up grades on the freeways. I discovered this Escape has a tiny 1.5 liter turbo 3 cylinder engine. Why on earth would you insert a tiny engine, turbo or not, in anything but an economy car? I had to push my foot all the way down to make the delayed turbo kick in. And the angle of the accelerator pedal was weird. Because of having to struggle the steep hills of the Bay Area, highway fuel economy was not great as you would think. 25? The most obnoxious problem was the auto start / stop. The engine kept kicking even with my foot firmly on the brake pedal stopped at red lights. Like it was possessed. Drove me crazy and I didn’t know how to turn it off. After two days I was ready to bring the car back and switch. Well, I had a good excuse… the rear power window got stuck in the down position. Maybe a bad switch? On a brand new car with a few thousand miles on it!!!!! I tried everything but it would not work again. Another thing I noticed was the skin on my finger would get pinched by the power window switches. No matter how hard I try with my subsequent Hyundai Kona and Honda Passport rentals, I could not pinch my finger. Also, I didn’t like like the odd graph like fuel gage. I didn’t know what I was looking at. Stop reinventing things that don’t need to be reinvented. I was so glad to be out of the Escape. It’s a shame, because it was fairly comfortable, rode well and felt solid, not tinny like my reliable RAV4. It’s like the two different groups designed this car. One group who wanted to make it great, and another who wanted to destroy it.

For a 3 cylinder turbo, it does pretty well. Using premium v regular gas makes a huge difference. However, the rear doors don’t open wide enough to put my wheelchair in the back seat without highly risking scratching the paint (I’ve already done this once). The brake and accelerator are a bit too far apart; if I’m sitting comfortably close to the accelerator, I’m practically sitting on top of the brake pedal. If I’m sitting comfortably enough close to the brake, I strain to reach the accelerator. According to the service manager, neither one can be adjusted.

Not worth it

I have an ST line. The vehicle is stylish and sporty. Seems to have decent power. That's about all the good. The bad. It feels very cheap for 35k. The infotainment is very laggy. All the buttons on the steering wheel are super tinyband in my opinion in strange positions. AKA your voice command button is on the left but to hang up is on the right. The music skip/next button is on the right but the volume is on the left. Not a deal breaker just annoying. Other buttons like them automatic lift gate don't seem to respond without pressing hard. The heated steering wheel is a favorite feature on any vehicle. This one has this feature but only seems to hear the outer side and not all around. When gripping in some areas you will find it to have no heat at all. Just very spotty. The interior quality feels very cheap. With just 500 miles the leather seats are already wrinkling. The steering is strange also. When on the highway coming out of a curve it feels like the steering has a delay from your movements. The engine vibrates a lot when at idle and transfers to the entire vehicle. You feel like your in an very cheap economy car. Overall I would pass on this car. It's not worth the price tag. This vehicle should have a price of about $18,000.
