There’s excellent cargo space: 68.1 cubic feet behind the first row and 34.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and the standard 60/40 rear seat folds flat wonderfully fast, using one lever.Īn available magic release for the liftgate is handy when your arms are full and you have cargo to load. Rear legroom is decent, at 36.8 inches, and rear climate control is standard in all but the Escape S base model. Interior materials are soft, and the plastic high quality. Inside, creature comfort is impeccable, even with the standard fabric upholstery, rugged and handsome. The 2.0-liter AWD feels solid, heavier, more civilized, more grown-up.įuel economy ranges from an EPA-estimated 23/32 mpg City/Highway for a 1.6-liter front-wheel-drive Escape, to 21/28 mpg for a 2.0-liter all-wheel drive. The 1.6-liter with front-wheel drive is quick, lively and visceral, a blast to drive. We found that a 1.6-liter Escape with front-wheel drive feels completely different from a 2.0-liter all-wheel-drive model. Their designs differ, but both are twin-turbocharged with direct injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). Much more modern are the EcoBoost engines, a 1.6-liter making 178 horsepower and a 2.0-liter that generates 240 horsepower. Least expensive is the tried-and-true 2.5-liter, but it’s also the least powerful and least efficient. Three engines are available, each four-cylinder. The 2015 Escape comes in three models: S, SE, and Titanium. Escape was redesigned for the 2013 model year and there have been no major changes since. Several drivetrains are available, and buyers should choose carefully because that choice greatly affects the driving character.Įscape comes standard with front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive optional.

It rides smoothly and has excellent handling. Ford Escape is practical and comfortable with a classy cabin and plenty of cargo space.
