The 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine makes 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, and this can get the Escape from 0-60 in 7-seconds. With pricing like this it makes you wonder why the 2.5-liter version is even an option because no one with any sense would take it. If you want the biggest and most powerful engine in the line-up, you'll first need to choose the Ford Escape SE and then option the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and then you'll need to pay the same, just on $1,500 more. While the 1.5-liter motor costs just $1,500 more than the five-cylinderone, the best motor of the lot is also affordable. The overall cargo space is good for its class, however if more is needed then it would be best to look at the bigger Ford Edge, Flex or Explorer models. These seats fold down to be properly flat if more space is needed. Once you open the trunk with the electronic lift gate you'll see some good cargo space and that can be extended thanks to the rear folding seats with a 60/40 split. Passenger space is okay at best, three average sized adults can fit in the rear but it will be a tight fit, it's best for two as then there's easy access to the fold down armrest that also allows storage of two average-sized water bottles. The console between the seats has been made bigger, so everyday items have a stash spot with easy access, and if you want to store your sunglasses, there's a compartment up top by the interior lights. There's now space for two average water bottles alongside the shift lever and it's easily accessible. The screen is adequate, but really should be bigger especially when you see what rival and other automakers are using these days.ĭuring the refresh the shifter and park brake was relocated compared to the old shape, freeing up a little more usable space. The gauge cluster also looks good with a separated tachometer and speedometer with a driver information screen in the centre. On all Ford Escape models, below the these controls you'll find the dual zone automatic climate control, and that too has a great layout with buttons that are easily identifiable and within in easy reach of both driver and passenger. On the entry-level dash this screen isn't fitted, but instead a display for the audio system. It's a pretty cool housing design that has the control dial and buttons under it. In the middle and center of the dash, at the top, there's the screen heading up the very good and intuitive infotainment system. The multifunction steering wheel is leather-wrapped, as is the shift knob and piano black plastics can be found on the center console and dashboard, a dash that looks very good now. This top trim also features great 10-way power adjusted driver and front passenger seats that are also heated with a memory recall function. The Ford Escape has as standard quite a nicely-trimmed cabin, but the top of the line Titanium model is, as expected, the recipient of the best interior, possibly one of the best in the segment with a true luxury look and feel.
