Ford claimed 11 features exclusive to the escape in the compact suv class: everything from a capless fuel nozzle to torque vectoring control, which helps the escape corner more securely. changes for the 2014 model year are modest, but worth noting. Ford sync, a voice-activated communications and entertainment system, is available with applink on the 2014 escape. We drove both versions in a spirited fashion and fell below those marks, averaging 22. 7 mpg in the 1. 6-liter and 19. 7 mpg in the 2. 0-liter. There's a 1. 6-liter ecoboost making 178 horsepower and a 2. 0-liter ecoboost that makes 240 horsepower. Ford claims ti-vct improves peak power by up to 7 percent and low-speed torque by 5 percent, to quicken acceleration. Fuel economy is expected to be 4. 5 percent better than a non-ecoboost engine. drivetrain choice is important because it significantly affects the driving character of the ford escape. We found a 1. 6-liter front-wheel-drive escape feels completely different from a 2. 0-liter all-wheel-drive model. The 1. 6-liter with front-wheel drive is quick, lively and visceral, a blast to drive. The 2. 0-liter awd feels solid, heavier, more civilized, more grown-up. All of them offer a smooth ride, a benefit of this latest-generation escape's rigid chassis. creature comfort is impeccable, even with the standard fabric upholstery, rugged and handsome. Interior materials are soft, and the plastic high quality. Rear legroom is decent, at 36. 8 inches, and rear climate control is standard in all but the escape s base model. 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. overall, escape's styling emulates its big brother, the explorer. However, its nose more resembles its little sister, the focus hatchback, distinctive, sort of aero stubby, with the familiar blue oval emblem centered in its wide, narrow grille. The hood has nice character lines, and the headlights sweep sharply back and up into muscular wheel wells. one clever innovation, which others have been copying, is an available magic release for the liftgate. New for 2014, the hands-free liftgate is available along with the escape's class ii towing package. the top-level escape is available with active park assist. By simply pushing a button, the system detects an available parallel-parking space, then automatically steers the vehicle right into it. The driver operates only the gas and brake pedals, not touching the steering wheel during the parking procedure. we did not find myfordtouch, the in-car communications and entertainment system, easy to use. lineupthe 2014 ford escape comes in three models: escape s, escape se, and escape titanium. All escape models use a 6-speed automatic transmission with selectshift manual operation. escape s 22,700) is front-wheel-drive only, using ford's trusty 2. 5-liter engine making 168 horsepower. Standard equipment includes cloth upholstery, manual climate control, manual front seat adjustment, a rear-view camera, keyless entry, cruise control and audio controls on the steering wheel, 60/40 fold-flat rear seats, a 6-speaker single-cd sound system with mp3 capability, info display, manual tilt/telescope steering wheel, halogen headlamps, black grille and door handles, and 17-inch steel wheels. escape se 25,550) uses the 1. 6-liter twin-turbo ecoboost engine making 178 horsepower, and comes either with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive 27,300). Se adds body-color door handles and mirrors, a chrome bar grille, ford sync voice-activated communications and entertainment system, satellite radio, auto headlamps, keyless entry, 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, rear center armrest, and 17-inch alloy wheels. escape titanium 29,100) comes with the 2. 0-liter ecoboost engine making 240 horsepower, in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive 30,850). Titanium adds myford touch, full leather-trimmed seating, heated mirrors and front seats, puddle lamps, ambient lighting, remote start, dual-zone automatic temperature control, hands-free power liftgate, silver roofrails, upgraded 10-speaker sony sound system with hd radio, and 18-inch silver-painted alloy wheels. An option group 1,295) includes a blind spot information system, rain-sensing wipers, high-intensity-discharge headlights, and ford's active park assist. safety equipment standard on all models includes advancetrac traction and stability control with roll stability control, curve control, torque vectoring control, two-stage frontal airbags, driver knee airbag, side airbags, abs with brake assist, tire pressure monitor, and rear-view camera. walkaroundwearing the blue oval centered in its wide, narrow grille to say it's a ford, the escape's nose is more like that of the little ford focus rather than the big ford explorer. Aero and almost stubby, the front end looks like it's meant for the business of efficient hauling. Character lines on the hood suggest a cowl. The headlights are sharply angled under sheetmetal speed lines like eyebrows, sweeping back and up into the muscular wheelwells. the bottom two-thirds of the face is a gaping black mouth in a split fascia. It conceals a ford innovation: sensor-controlled active shutters behind the grille that regulate air into the engine, for optimum efficiency and maximum fuel mileage. the rear end doesn't keep up with the ford escape's slick front. It looks big and bulky for the size of the car, with lines going in three directions. It's as if the sheetmetal were shaped to match the taillights, including the indent for the license plate, like an upside-down triangle with the point at the bottom chopped off. The standard dual exhaust is visually cool with the twin pipes protruding, but the gray cladding looks like a big silver lump hanging out the back. actually, there's something hiding under that cladding that's great. Don't like so much the gray or black plastic cladding that adorns every model. interiorthe rugged fabric seats in the ford escape are the best. And since the available myford touch remains problematic, those excellent seats make the escape s a compelling choice. Gauges are clean and attractive with pretty blue needles. Unlike the expensive jaguar, ford's rich sibling of the past, there are actual fuel and temperature gauges. There's a small rectangular window for in.

2008 ford escape review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. One of ford's best gets better. introductionthe ford escape has been thoroughly updated for 2008, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it america's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. The escape's standard safety features are upgraded significantly for 2008. we'd call the escape a little truck among small suvs. Its new styling deliberately invokes ford's larger, truck-based expedition and explorer sport-utilities. Escape's ride height and seating position are a bit higher than competitors such as the honda cr-v, and it can tow up to 3,500 pounds, which is substantially more than most other vehicles in the class. yet the ford escape still delivers the advantages of unit-body, car-based competitors such as the honda cr-v. All variants, including the v6 and escape hybrid, deliver some of best epa mileage ratings in the class. All, including the gas-electric hybrid, are offered with either front- or all-wheel drive. For the most part, the hybrid drives just like a conventional gas-only escape. It's a well-executed package. Folding the rear seats opens a good sized cargo area with a flat floor, and space behind the seat surpasses that in the trunk of the typical sedan. Interior storage options have improved considerably. The finish is more upscale and pleasing, and feature function and switches are among the best. safety features that were extra-cost options on lower-trim models are now standard across the board, including ford's roll stability control system. Escape now sets the class benchmark for safety features. there's a ford escape model for most tastes and needs. Dollar for feature, ford escape prices have dropped considerably the past few years. The premium for the escape hybrid has also decreased. It's now less than $2,000 more than a comparably equipped limited. the ford escape remains one of the more appealing vehicles in its class, regardless of price, and certainly one of the better values. The xls comes with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, power windows, mirrors and locks, an am/fm stereo with cd and auxiliary jack, rear window defroster and 16-inch steel wheels. the escape xlt 20,880) and xlt 4wd 22,360) add more standard features, including upgraded cloth upholstery, a power driver's seat, cruise control, privacy glass and 16-inch alloy wheels. The cargo convenience group 395) includes a retractable cargo area cover and a compartmentalized rear storage bin. The audiophile package 695) includes a high-power stereo with seven speakers, subwoofer and the in-dash cd changer. The limited luxury package 795) adds dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats and a back-up warning system. The audiophile and navigation package 2,695) includes the stereo upgrade and ford's touch-screen navigation system; in the hybrid, it also adds a meter that graphically and immediately demonstrates the benefits of hybrid drive, and helps the driver maximize fuel economy. Other options include cruise control 225), cd changer 295), a power moonroof 795), floor mats 55), 16-inch alloy wheels 375), 17-inch chromed wheels 695), and a class ii towing package 345). safety features have been upgraded substantially for 2008, making equipment that was previously optional on lower trim levels standard across the board, and setting the class benchmark for small sport-utilities. Passive safety features include front- and side-impact airbags for front occupants and curtain-type head protection airbags for all outboard seats. The side curtains can remain inflated for several seconds in the event of a rollover, and are designed to slide between the side glass and occupants if the people are oddly seated or resting heads against a window. Rsc adds a second gyroscopic roll-rate sensor to the typical stability control package, measuring the escape's roll angle and roll rate and applying countermeasures (such as braking one of the wheels or reducing power) to increase rollover resistance. walkaroundthe 2008 ford escape has been re-styled more thoroughly than a quick glance might suggest. None of its major body panels are common to previous models, but the redesign is evolutionary and the most obvious changes are in the details, or jewelry, as designers call them. In an impressionistic way, the new escape will look familiar to those who have owned previous escapes, or those who pay attention to what others drive. as such, the new escape has the air of a conventional, truck-based suv, with a more rugged look than many other small, sedan-platform sport-utilities such as the honda cr-v. For starters, escape sits a bit higher than many competitors (8. 1 inches of ground clearance), and the high profile is enhanced by its design. the new grille looks like it was designed for a truck. The headlights are essentially connected to the grille, and shaped to create a family resemblance with ford's edge crossover suv. Yet the grille itself is tall and flat and stacked right on top of a skid plate-type fascia that flows under the bumper. Escape's beltline, or the crease that runs just under the windows, is high, too, and its roof pillars are blacked out. The taillights have a clear band that wraps around the rear corners. The lower bumpers and rocker panels are now painted to match the body on all models, rather than molded in a matte finish. In total, the effect is cleaner and more polished than previous models, and it's all quite handsome. the trim levels are easy to distinguish from the front of the car. The base escape xls has a chrome grille and body-colored fascia from the bumper down. The xlt is identical, except for prominent fog lights in the front bumper. This adds the chrome grille and more, with brightwork flowing down into the skid plate and bumper. It looks like a big, shiny t on the front of the vehicle. some changes to the new escape are functional more than aesthetic. The side mirrors are larger than before, but ford claims their shape generates less noise as air speeds over them. The roof, too, is designed to reduce interior noise. Recessed channels running its length are intended to move air more quietly over the surface. Horizontal ribs underneath the panel add structure, which limits flex in the metal and reduces booming noise inside at high speeds. we're fond of a couple of features in back of the escape. A new step pad on the bumper provides secure footing for anyone who steps up to put something on the roof rack, and the two-piece tailgate is handy. The rear glass can be popped open with the key fob, so dropping small items like a gym bag into the cargo area is much easier than it might be with some competitors, which require hefting the entire gate upward. interiorthe 2008 ford escape interior is all new, and we like it. It's not significantly roomier or a leap forward in design, but it's well thought out and well executed. It's a definite improvement in ergonomic function and overall visual appeal, and it makes a nicer place to spend time. this is one of ford's best interiors in years in terms of the look and feel of materials used. It looked like the lacquered finish on a fine piano. The satiny black or silver used in lower trim levels isn't bad, either.
