![]() The ST-Line Select and higher trims upgrade to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (250 hp, 280 lb-ft) with standard all-wheel drive.īut also be aware that Ford makes the ST-Line and higher trims available with a fuel-sipping 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain (192 total system horsepower) that drives the wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).įinally, there's the Escape PHEV with a plug-in version of the hybrid engine. All-wheel drive is available as an option. The Base, Active and ST-Line trims are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (180 horsepower, 199 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. Selecting Sport mode gives it more heft and makes it easier to figure out where the front wheels are pointed. As for the steering, it's very light and low-effort in the default drive mode. There's not much grip from the tires either. It rolls a lot and has a ponderous feel as you go around turns. The Escape's handling is disappointing too. Even the engine stop-start system bucks the Escape when it restarts the engine as you take your foot off the brake. Downshifts are similar, and you'll feel multiple small shocks as you decelerate. Unfortunately, the automatic transmission shifts slowly and can be jerky with its upshifts. In Edmunds' testing, our Escape covered 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds, which is better than most rival small SUVs with an upgraded engine. This engine makes plenty of power, allowing it to easily squirt through traffic and accelerate up to highway speeds. How does the Escape drive? We tested the Escape with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Check out the Expert Rating below to get our test team's full take on the Escape's utility, comfort and more. Overall, we like the Escape and think it's worth checking out if you're shopping for a small SUV with a satisfying mix of features, comfort and utility. Besides the Escape and Edge, Ford also offers the Bronco Sport, which is based on the Escape but has a more rugged, outdoorsy persona. Ford itself offers a wide array of SUVs as it's shifted its focus away from car production. Some of Edmunds' favorites include the CR-V, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5 and Nissan Rogue. The Escape has rivals from just about every corner. On the inside, the larger infotainment screens not only look more modern, they're also easier to use. The new styling should be an upgrade for most shoppers, as it gives the small SUV a stronger presence with its more upright and squared-off front end.
