0 -> The 2023 Ford Escape is a compact
crossover SUV that's both one of
4.26 -> Ford's most popular vehicles and one of
the best-selling crossovers around today.
8.52 -> Slotting below the larger Ford Edge and a rival
to the well-known Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the
14.46 -> Escape offers multiple powertrains — gas, hybrid
and plug-in hybrid — lots of in-car tech, and a
20.16 -> variety of standard and available driver aids.
When the original Ford Escape launched back
24.9 -> in 2001, it leaned into a made-for-the-trail
image with rugged styling, available V6 power,
30.18 -> and a sophisticated-for-its-time all-wheel drive
system. These days, the Bronco Sport, which
36.12 -> shares its platform with the Escape, credibly
covers the small off-road SUV market for Ford,
40.74 -> leaving the similarly sized Escape to pursue a
softer lifestyle. Front-drive is standard and
46.2 -> all-wheel drive is still available, but there's
nothing rugged about the rest of the package,
50.04 -> which can be had with either of two hybrid
powertrains—one a plug-in—as well as either
54.6 -> a turbocharged three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Escape's styling is handsome and its cabin
59.82 -> is spacious for both people and cargo, though not
particularly upscale. Performance is average for
65.52 -> the class, but if you're someone who values the
driving part of transporting yourself somewhere
69.54 -> you'll find a lot more to love in lively rivals
such as the Mazda CX-50 and the Volkswagen Tiguan.
75.06 -> It is updated for 2023 with a new optional
infotainment system, new advanced driver
79.92 -> assistance systems, a few exterior enhancements,
and new trim levels. The biggest changes are the
85.98 -> addition of a sporty-looking ST-Line with black
exterior trim, and optional new tech including
90.66 -> a bigger infotainment screen, the ability to
download over-the-air updates, and an automatic
95.4 -> emergency braking system that is designed
to detect pedestrians when turning corners.
99.72 -> In this video we are reviewing
2023 Model of The Ford Escape.
103.92 -> But before we get into the video, make sure
to like this video, subscribe to our channel,
108.36 -> and hit the bell icon to get the latest updates.
First talk about Performance.
113.64 -> The Escape offers a wide range of powertrains,
starting with a 181-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter
120.3 -> three-cylinder engine that can be had
with either front- or all-wheel drive.
124.32 -> To tackle competition in the form of the
Honda CR-V hybrid and the Toyota RAV4 Prime,
129.18 -> Ford offers two Escape hybrids—one of which
is a plug-in—and those powertrains consist
134.04 -> of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and two electric
motors which combine to make 210-hp. The base
140.52 -> turbo-three gas engine, while somewhat grumbly
and unrefined, provides adequate acceleration
145.32 -> and manages to motivate an all-wheel-drive Escape
SE to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds; the plug-in hybrid
151.74 -> model matches this result. Upgrading to the
250-hp turbocharged 2 liter four-cylinder is
158.16 -> the compelling choice and is powerful enough to
score a 5.7-second result in the same 60-mph test.
164.58 -> Both gasoline engines are paired with an
eight-speed automatic transmission; the hybrids
169.08 -> employ a continuously variable transmission.
Interior.
173.1 -> The Escape's cabin is handsomely styled and
spacious for both front- and rear-seat occupants.
178.5 -> Although there are some low-rent plastic panels
in lower-end trims, the Escape’s ST-Line and
183.18 -> Platinum models look and feel more premium.
Textured cloth seat upholstery is standard,
188.1 -> while the Platinum model receives convincing
faux-leather seating surfaces as standard.
192.78 -> The Escape’s surprising spaciousness remains
with plenty of room in front or back seats
197.1 -> even for bigger passengers with longer legs.
Headroom also remains plentiful even with
202.26 -> the optional panoramic moonroof taking a
few inches out of the overhead airspace.
206.52 -> The center console, gear selector knob, steering
wheel, and other controls are largely unchanged.
212.76 -> The base-model Escape gets a black interior,
while other trim levels offer black or gray.
217.98 -> Behind the Escape's rear seat is a capacious
cargo hold that provides space for up to
222.3 -> eight carry-on suitcases, which ties its
crosstown rival, the Chevrolet Equinox.
227.4 -> Infotainment Technology.
While base models come with an 8 inch infotainment
232.2 -> system, Active trim levels and higher can be
optioned with a larger 13.2-inch touchscreen
237.42 -> display. Both screens run Ford's latest Sync 4
infotainment interface and offer Android Auto
243.12 -> as well as wireless Apple CarPlay capability. The
system accepts over-the-air updates and Ford says
249.06 -> the Escape will automatically update itself so
the owner doesn’t have to worry about using an
253.14 -> outdated version of the software. A 10-speaker
B&O Play audio system, in-dash navigation,
258.72 -> a pop-up head-up display, and a 12.3-inch
digital gauge display are all optional features.
264.84 -> Range and Charging.
The plug-in hybrid model carries an
268.56 -> 11.2-kWh battery pack, which is good enough for an
EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric-only driving.
275.64 -> Fuel Economy.
According to the EPA,
278.64 -> the turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder model
with front-wheel drive offers the highest fuel
283.68 -> economy estimates among non-hybrid Escape models.
It's rated for 27 mpg city, 33 mpg highway,
291.18 -> and 30 mpg combined; adding all-wheel drive drops
those numbers to 26 mpg city, 31 mpg highway,
299.04 -> and 28 mpg combined. For those seeking the
most efficient Escape, look no further than
304.98 -> the plug-in hybrid model, which earns EPA
fuel economy ratings as high as 44 mpg city.
311.22 -> Safety.
The Escape gets standard AEB with pedestrian
315.06 -> detection and blind spot warning, both of which
are updated for 2023. Intersection Assist 2.0
321.36 -> is designed to avoid collisions with pedestrians
while turning, while the BSW system will nudge the
326.28 -> steering wheel if a driver continues an attempt
to change lanes when the BSW warning light is on.
331.5 -> Features such as adaptive cruise control
(ACC) and a surround-view camera are optional.
337.08 -> Pricing.
Its estimated price starts at around $29,000.
342.12 -> That's all for today. Thank you for

346.86 -> Please leave us with your valuable feedback
