I have had friends that had Escapes in the past and liked them so when I got one for a long w/e rental where I would be doing a lot of driving I was looking forward to seeing how it did. It did incredibly average. There was nothing really wrong or right with it. There was a mix of good and bad plastic. Most control were well laid out, but controls that were not frequently used were hidden under multiple layers of menu that took a long time to find. Ride and handling were just OK for a small SUV. Ride was good on smooth surfaces but lost it over big bumps. Not floaty like some car without handling packages. But too much lean for handling and generally didn't give me much confidence. Performance/acceleration was mixed. It was generally pretty good, but when merging/passing it just did not want to downshift enough and struggled to do it. And this was with the larger engine. Road, wind and engine noise were again OK. Never enough you couldn't hear but always slightly annoying. Base stereo is just that, a base version that is ok if you just what something playing but not something you really listen to. Hopefully the upgrade is better. Back seat is pretty good, but cargo area was disappointing. Fortunately I did not need an opportunity to really test the brakes, but in normal usage they were fine. For a 4 wheel drive vehicle gas milage was pretty OK. Just over 30 over 500 miles of combination highway and city driving. All said, it was a LOT better than a RAV4 that I had rented a couple of months earlier, but not nearly as good as my own 2016 Golf sportwagen.

Love our 2024 Escape PHEV. Since January purchase, have put only 11 gallons of gas in 1,100 miles. Love the leather seats and the big 13 inch screen. Fun to drive.

Fun to drive but not relaxing for a long trip.

We test drove an Escape Hybrid. It was very peppy and responsive. I felt driving would take too much attention to be relaxing on a long trip. One thing that worried me was the close position of the brake and gas pedals and that the brake pedal seemed too high in relation to the gas pedal. That might be dangerous in an emergency situation. Also I worried about it not being a Top Safety Pick.
Don't buy this vehicle

Seats are uncomfortable, sound system is bad, very cheap interior, infotainment system is terrible. I wish I never bought this truck. As 2024 Escape PHEV it is good on gas.
