New Escape

The Escape is a great reliable SUV for the price. This is my 3rd Escape and meets all of my needs. Interior design is great (SEL model) and handles great in bad weather. Great vehicle for our WNY weather.

Driving In Style

For a smaller SUV this vehicle has plenty of umph! Handles great. Love the hands free Sync with Bluetooth devices and overall interior comfort of the vehicle. Plenty of leg room for driver and all passengers. The ease of folding down the rear seats is also a plus. One lever and down they go. Couldn't be happier with the vehicle.

A nice upgrade

I upgraded my 2013 Escape to a 2018. The car acceleration is much more smooth, Sync 3 is a definite improvement and navigation (though highly outdated) is a neat feature. Not the most comfortable of seating, but slight improvement over the 2013.

The Escape fits all of my needs at an affordable o

I think it sets a standard of affordable SUVs. I have had bigger and more expensive cars and the Escpe compares well with all of them for average use. Noting fancy but very functional and safe. The car is very smooth driving too.

Ride is nice and smooth

Very comfortable and just the size I was looking for. Plenty of leg room and packing space. The Bluetooth is a plus and makes for safe driving while talking.

very smooth driving car

The ride is very smooth. Can hardly tell when the ecoboost has kicked in. Love pretty much everything about this vehicle. The interior has enough room and love the back storage area.

This is an affordable SUV.

This is my first Escape. I really like it and enjoy driving it. It is more easier to get in and out from it because of higher seating than cars. I like rear camera, which would help me while driving back! Nice interior and exterior styles.

Sporty looking

Sporty looking and easy to handle and great for getting into tight parking spots. Beautiful interior and all the options you can think of. Has a great ride and good gas mileage.
