What is the combined Torque?
Dude I love how calm ur voice is and how eloquently u explain things! Amazing channel! Easily ranks along with Doug Demuro and Tedward
Something about the new Escape feels like it went down a segment. Like from the Compact Crossover to Sub-compact Crossover segment.
They don't make them like they used to. My first car was the 2009 Ford Escape V6 and that was a fun SUV. But nothing like 2017, and this one is nothing like that generation either.
No doubt about that. I had the original 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. Loved that thing. Any SUV getting over 30mpg was insane at the time. It was a great size - and 4WD. Too bad it died an ugly death at the hands of a criminally incompetent maintenance department at the large Ford dealership outside of Hilton Head. In 2021, I would go for something like the AWD Hyundai Ioniq 5 over this for just a little bit more.
True, that’s because everything else is getting bigger. Example: new Tucson has about the same storage in the back as the Santa Fe and is barely shorter. So basically almost midsize.
@@canadious6933 My parents got a 2010 Escape brand new in 2010, their's also has the V6. Still have it, 130k on it. A great, reliable solid vehicle for sure. They haven't done much besides change oil and she runs great.
@@canadious6933 I will play devils advocate as someone who can frequently a/b compare the generations of escapes on road tests as a ford mechanic. The old 05-12 escapes are for sure simpler and cheaper to fix, but the way it drives is for sure worse in a comfy commuter perspective. Lot more NVH, rides worse, and handles worse than the 13+ models. I’ve done dash out jobs on both the old gen 05-12 escapes and the 13-19 escapes. U can physically see how much thinner and cheaper all the carpeting and sound deadening layers are in the 05-12 escapes which explains the added NVH. If u have the old body generation v6 05-12 escapes with some miles, 90% chance ur timing cover is leaking oil, it’s harder to run into one that isn’t leaking. Also the 05-12 escapes do like to rust a lot more.
So my step mom just bought this exact same ride. We went out and drove it and I really liked it. The self parking feature was insanely difficult to trust, but I laughed nearly the whole time.
love the way you closed the door at the end of the video....
Love that you review every day cars.
*Same as usual. Super car and beautiful video. I can appreciate this video more than I see a mistake.
The reason is because it is so beautiful. Can wait until the end. Thank you.😍😍😍*
Ours just arrived the past Friday 02-04-22. I love it! It’s very easy to drive and rides very smoothly. The heads up display is purely a gimmick, but that’s ok I guess. I wasn’t too happy that you have to buy a spare tire as an added feature. It does not come standard.
Purchased the SEL 3 weeks ago. As of last night 740 miles, 394 electric and 346 gas. Approximately 112 miles until empty. 40 miles a day is highway drive and we plug in every night. Yes it's the original tank of gas. It's INSANE, in a good way!!
"Great " Happy New Year
This car has its flaws but at 10k less than a rav4 (before markup) it's worth it for me. The rav4 prime is approaching bmw x3/ a5/ glc territory.
No it´s not. I was srsly consier the plug in hybrid, but went with a german car because the interior was on another level.
Happy 🎉 New Year ❤️💐
It's funny seeing you pass my job at the beginning
Looking good
My wife has a 22 Titanium being built the week of January 10. I can’t wait to test it out!
Thanks for your review. Definitely made me feel good about our purchase.
I like Ford's interior!
No auto dimming mirror on a seemingly high trim... wonder if it has to do with the microchip shortage.
Manufacturers should real learn a thing or two with how neat and well put together this engine bay is. I had a headlight recently burnout on my car and the whole bumper of my car had to come off just to access the headlight. With this Ford, you can actually reach it... However, in my cars defense, I can reach the low beam on the driver side, that's it.
So… PHEV Maverick incoming? If there was one thing to make that truck sell even better it would be just that.

Wish you would’ve gone more in depth as to why Ford decided to not to offer an awd option. Love your reviews! (I live in Salem twp…drive these same roads all the time)
Probably to maximize the all electric range/fuel economy in general
eAWD is available on the Lincoln version (Corsair Grand Touring). It’s an expensive feature that reduces EV-only range, probably why Ford skipped it for Escape.
How is the acceleration and torque? I’m considering this car but no test drive option in Ontario only factory order. Thanks
Ouch, FWD only is a killer. Trying to lug that weight uphill in the winter will be a challenge.
This car is cool
Hi
What is your height and weight to compare for comfort
All these fords have identical entirely identical interiors - I thought this was a focus from the preview there’s literally not a single difference in interior design besides it being taller… even the same seats
Not that there's anything wrong with that. I love all the new Ford interiors.
@@chivosadventures8171 nah you’re right - I like their interiors quite a lot just thought they’d be a bit different
A lot of auto manufacturers copypaste their interiors. I can’t tell most BMW’s that Topher reviews by looking at the thumbnail alone, the title is the only thing letting me know lol
A few manufacturers have been doing that already such as BMW, Dodge, probably even Mercedes too when you think about the newer sweeping digital dashboard. I guess it would be cool to have more individualization but these interiors aren't that bad anyways
This is the crossover version of the Focus. It has a slightly taller dashboard.
I'm noticing that I HATE what Ford is doing with those A-pillars. That's such a huge blind spot while turning or going around curves. Why not put a small window there like other manufactures?
Driver system exactly like Toyota eCVT the best for hybrids cars. Hybrd? only Toyota or Ford.
37 mile electric range. Why do hybrids have such a low electric range? Will we ever see a hybrid that can do ~150 miles on electric only?
Not any time soon. At that point, you may as well get a full blown EV. At least thats what the manufacturers want us to believe. This is more for a city dweller who 90% of the time can do their entire daily commute under 40 miles...they would have no need for a 150 mile PHEV. Im with you though...I live out in the country and would appreciate a higher electric range without have to give up my ICE.
Because the average person drives less than 37 miles on a typical day. I can't imagine why anyone would want a 150 mile PHEV, at that point just buy a BEV because the engine would almost never run anyways. The point of a plug in hybrid is to reduce fuel consumption rather than completely eliminate it.
Big batteries are expensive. In a few years they will have more range.
Heyyy
hi
It being FWD doesnt brother me at all. It saves cost and with good tires it will take ita buyers where they need to be.
I am alright with FWD but I prefer 4WD and AWD so I would not buy this suv just to be safe in winters.
RAV4 Prime:"Hello there.."
3:33 I don’t get why Americans get big engines and CVT autos instead of the 8 speed we get here in the UK
>2.5L
>big
>pick one
only kidding, but it is rather funny what the perspective of a "large" engine is on each side of the Atlantic
cheers!
@@michaelduffek2866 haha, here these sorts of cars get 1.5L engines and things like that - anything over 2 litres is big to me 😂
@@youraveragejoe1 i have a Honda with a 1.8 SOHC and a Mercury with a 3.0 DOHC... only a 60 horsepower difference between the two!
@@michaelduffek2866 my first car had a 5.0L V8 and only made 140 hp ;)
@@BigRobChicagoPL i had a 79 Cadillac... 425 V8 and only 180hp! 320 tq though!

Thing is that brand new cars you want to lease.... old school cars you want to buy... Its before they started to add things that make them last the least amount of time. Now govt and manufactures are making laws to stop the use of older cars on the street in conjunction with the shrinking market of people owning older cars.....we soon will be in a subscription based ownership.... and if you own a older modern car from 2010 up to whatever year they aren't getting worst with how long they last.... you will have to pay a tax or something for it to be legally driven on the road in many states..... I would say the only car I would buy brand new would be a very uncomplicated ev due to it having very little parts to break in a major way but they do cost a lot out of warranty if they do break. I mean some ev cars have a battery that last for up to 10 years before they give out and you have to drop the price of a new economy car just to get a new battery placed in.
That to me is a major cost I would not be willing to pay after 10 years but a gas powered modern cars of today, 2021, you get up to 4 years, usually the warranty or most warranties don't cover anything its specifics that keep the warranties from being honored, before every single thing on it starts to break down.... some dealers be breaking people's cars. To be honest... you could get about the same out of the gas powered car as an ev but you really need to know how to work on the cars, which the manufacturers and govt officials are attempting to stop personal and third party repairs....but since a politicians also has a car they will negate, as of now, the manufacture from taking the Right to Repair away because the politician doesn't want to pay too much for repairs and have made a law that screw them out of money.... as long as the current politicians need a car they will protect the Right to Repair....if they don't they may make a law against people fixing their own cars....that's how it works... if the idiot in office don't need it they think none need it so they make dumb laws against people because its not something they personally need or do so they assume none do.... Yeah, we have those type of idiots winning the popularity contest to screw our lives out of stability... NICE voting voters... LOL.
Since I am a dumb failure I should run for office and start failing upward like the rest of them... LOL . You have to have a personal mechanic you can trust, will not rob you with stuff you don't need, and/or break things on the car while charging you for it... Like the dealership I had to go to with my 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD.... they flashed the car with some software, 2L engine came up as a 1.5L when the information was read out after they flashed the car.... the damage was done but proving they did it was an up hill when I didn't go to them for software issues yet they still flashed the vehicle to make me buy a new one from their dealership... they saw the military plates on the back and thought lets get this person in a new car..... that software made it start acting up in the transmission, the engine fuel delivery, and electrical... the entire car major parts were break, within warranty of the manufacture, and they did not want to fix it until it was out of warranty... nor correct their screw up.... after that terrible experience with a dealer I never will buy a new car ever again or from that manufacture because going through them to get the car fix was hades on earth and it never got fixed I end up selling it.... but if I need a car to get to work I would lease one and hand them their brand new lemons back after 1 or 2 yrs.. The car I would use outside of work would be up to 2010 because I know how to work on many of those cars within that year range. Never get a car with a warranty or insurance that lock you into using specific price gauging shops just to have the warranty honored and they still don't fix it but do other crap to get money out of you.
It’s sad because the Escape used to be such a cool car. Now its just a cheap POS fleet car.
Nah, I'll take the RAV4 prime. At least you know you get quality.
but what are you doing here? :0)
This thing screames unreliability
seriously?
Would rather be dead than be caught driving any basic Ford
That is quite a dramatic statement 😂
Ok
