I have this car in the hybrid version. Over a year of driving, I've come to love the agile handling and very car-like demeanor. The ride is quiet and smooth. The only issue I've had was the backup camera just replaced. I'm averaging 39 mpg altogether. I really like some of the interior upgrades for 2021 and may consider a Titanium when my lease is up in another 1.5 year.
I have 8500 miles on my 2020 Escape Titanium Hybrid, and am averaging 40.7 mpg with mostly suburban driving( 45mph-ish) Backup camera was only issue but was replaced by dealer. I traded a Honda CRV for the Escape, and really think the Escape is more fun to drive especially through the curves.
I have a 2020 titanium hybrid and I usually I average 42.7 highway. Yesterday, I hit 50.3 in 50% highway secondary roads. Best car I ever had, and i trade every three years
I dont know what CR-V you have but I have a 2019 CR-V touring and a 2021 escape titanium hybrid. The escape is more comfortable but the Cr-V is more fun to drive for me. It just feels more solid.
Great review - even spared a squirrel! - Ford really knows it’s market, delivering compact SUVs with lots of variety in drive trains & options. You guys are a great team - congrats on 224k subs!!
Needed to buy car for my teenager so we ended up buying 2021 ford escape hybrid titanium trim 35000 miles and we paid $22700 out the door with certified pre owned Thank you for the review
Great video guys. It’s a good little car. I think it missed the mark however when compared to rivals that are priced about the same… Hard to believe that’s a Lincoln corsair in there somewhere
@@aliwilliams9607 if you're to the side of the car where the front and rear lights are not visible, how are you going to see if they want to change lanes?
@@mlps93 well if u r close enough to the side of the car to the point where u cant see its blinkers then the car shouldnt be merging, there isnt really a way the side signals affects anything
@@aliwilliams9607 not everyone lives out in the open rural area where space is at an abundance, you very well do need side signals if you're driving on packed or congested roads like in NYC or LA. Even suburban mid-western traffic can get congested at times. Practically nobody leaves more than a car length of space in those places. Theres a good reason why side signals are mandatory in the rest of the civilised world.
@@mlps93 but y is what im saying, if ur r close enough to the side of a vehicle to the point where the front and rear turn signals arent visible, then that vehicle shouldnt be merging, even in traffic side signals arent needed because if ur on the sid of someone and u cant see their front and rear turn signals, then they shouldnt be merging with u. And i live by chicago so i traffic, thats y ik that side signals tho they r nice to have they arent NEEDED, and bud if they were "mandatory" ford wouldve been forced to put turn signals on the side
I would honestly wait for the refresh I hope ford makes material better and I hope cooled seats added in refresh and I wish bronco sport has cooled seats
Thank you for this video. I live in NY and am trading in my EcoSport for an Escape. Unfortunately my dealer does not offer videos of the interior. This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m purchasing a 2022 Escape Titanium. Thanks again.
Had this car almost a year. Fully loaded titanium trim with 2.0. Best bang for performance and features where competition is lacking in comparison. Though Hybrid or 1.5L or any other trim is not worth it either.
@@arrogen2831 Chevy ate sh!t so Ford should do the same? I've never said Trail Blazer isn't a worse vehicle comparing to bronco sport. All I said was, Bronco sport has no relationship to the bronco, from the platform to any parts. Ford only gave it the similar look for commercial reason.
I don't know why but the headlights remind me so much of a current gen Hyundai Sonata. I see a little bit of Kia as well, thanks for the wonderful reviews Drew & Mason
No where near sonata from the shape to the structure inside. Only similarity is quad LED which is popular on many vehicles now. The headlamp looks more like a Macan than a sonata.
Woow it BAFFLES me how ford decided to lose the turn signals on the mirror for the newer model. It doesn’t make sense that 2020 has it and 2021 doesn’t lol. It looked a lot better before…
@@Snowy-oq4ur ya I got the newer stealth and kinda cringe at older ones now just love the sporty look. Still mad respect to the other escapes out there ;) Ya really see a euro look
Car Confections that Titanium you reviewed has ActiveX (faux leather) seating. Real leather is only offered with the Titanium Elite package (or as a $2,850 option on the regular Titanium trim). The leather seating only comes in 1 color... ebony with sandstone (tan) perforated inserts.
Bought an escape loved it for a while but honestly power isn’t there, transmissions slow, it vibrates like a ford focus and costs a ton to replace the tires
It's about the same size as the other vehicles in its class - a little smaller than the CR-V; a little bigger than the CX-5. It looks smaller than it is. It also drives smaller than it is, which is nice.
Howdy, excellent review as always y’all! I own a 2017 Escape Se with the 200A equipment package (the lowest SE price point) and have been very happy with it!😸😸
Check out the small overlap crash score on your model. We have a 2013 Escape (first Kuga being brought to the US as escape) and wife loves it. However, I'm trying to persuade her to upgrade to a safer vehicle as we are preparing to expand the family. Ford didn't bother to fix the safety issue until this new gen 2021. And a lot of stupid German design such as the location of the battery.
How would you rate this against the CX-5 Turbo Signature or even CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus? Just test drove those and almost closed a deal :( LIve to shop another day!!!!
The GPS on my 2020 Escape does not work half the time and ford does not know how to fix it. Also, the stop-start feature does not work properly- it does not start when you take the foot off the brake so you have to apply the gas pedal and then the Escape "jumps" forward - not good. It's a safety issue. Ford does know how to fix this. Not good.
Been shopping Ford Escape for awhile now. Just found out that Cooled seats are not offered on any trim level. Just for that reason alone, I will spend my money elsewhere.
I work in security for the past 10 years. I drove pass three generations of this vehicle, multiple cars as well. This is by far the worst Ford Escape model they ever made!!! door hinge start to falling off on on 10k miles. it's extremely underpower and feels like gas pedal is not responding. Extremely late response on all three cars that we have... there is the whole list of other problems it have. On current vehicle that I'm driving that at this moment have only 17000 miles.. not even poking about some transmission issues. DO NOT BUY!!!
Bought a 2013 Escape in Sept 2012. Warned Ford that they manufactured the vehicle with the front door hitting rear door when opening and closing chipping paint. Ford never fixed problem which was a simple update on the CAD system installing doors. FORD does not care about quality because that was a simple fix. Now they have a new design again. They did not care before so do you think all of a sudden they will start caring about quality. Last week sold my Escape (yippee) after receiving my factory ordered Mazda CX 5 Gt Sport. No comparison in quality to Ford. Love my new Mazda. Had issues with Escape even before driving off the lot when bought new. Doors chipped 4 times so painted 4 times under warranty. I hate Ford….. Good luck to those who buy one. You will need it.
It literally has led brake lights, what more do you want? They could of just made the brake lights the turn signal but they add amber unlike most automakers. If it matters so much you can put led turn signals for under $10. Toyota is the same way thankfully
I can't stand the digital gauges and what is it with ford and that stupid turn knob gear selector. They also need more soft touch material on the dashboard because the hard plastics scratch way too easily. Too plain for a top trim. Don't agree with the sound system I prefer bose or at least sony.

What trim level do you have?
Ah yes, car handles like a car
@Snowy-oq4ur he means to say SUV/ crossover that handles like sedan
Would like to see a review of the plug-in hybrid version of the Escape. Otherwise, a very useful and thorough examination of the Escape.

I have 16,000 miles on my 2020 Escape Titanium Hybrid. Astonishing in town / city MPGs! Really love the style, the comfort, and the handling.

In what world is it a good idea to remove the signal light from the mirror and not have any side alternatives?
Honestly whats the harm in removing it?

Only really top end luxury cars have cooled seats lol
Top trim Toyota Rav 4's have cooled seats as does the Ford Explorer from this same model year @@Snowy-oq4ur
Great review guys! Sad to see no ventilated seats available. Hopefully you guys can do a review of the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX in the future!
No vent seat is a killer for us in the south. Same reason we didn't want a Tesla. Probably we'll get the 2022 Tucson.
Thanks! We're always trying to find one but they are hard to get!
Great review guys!! I have an 18 escape titanium that doesn’t disappoint
Wait until you have to change the battery
@@dearbulls already did on our Edge certainly not the smartest place to put a battery LOL but we did it and it was easier than I dreaded it would be
i would by the this escape in this same fully loaded model. great review!
Awesome Looking SUV As Always Bro, Also This SUV Is Definitely A Beauty & I Totally Love The Design & The Color.

You're welcome! Congrats on your new escape!

i have a 2014 fully loaded titanium and it is probably the most powerful bang for your buck in terms of power and interior quality.
Why would they take the turn signals out of the mirrors? Looks like a base model now.
They did not. They are a small led strip in the mirror back.
Wow great review on the escape
I had one; it was a rattling box on wheels. I traded it in on a Mach-E, which is built in Mexico, and it is so much better!
interesting. bronco sport is also made in Mexico
I have one and it is solid as a rock. Much better than my leased Toyota RAV 4 2017. Best car I ever owned
@@jt-eb4sp you have what?
very nice car, affordable and household needs... don't need too much technology, focus on quality and fuel economy. like the hybrid is great.
Great Review Guys!
Thanks!
I can't get past the front end styling, definitely not a fan. Certainly would consider the Bronco.
Bronco has nothing to do with this. Bronco sport shares the same platform with escape. Bronco Sport has nothing to do with Bronco other than the name.
@@arrogen2831 what is not true? That bronco has nothing to do with the escape?
@@arrogen2831 like what other than names
@@arrogen2831 LOL. Best joke of the year.

I would like to know how well the road is lighted from both kinds of headlights and the fog lights.
i love your videos
22 escape stealth , 2.0T has not been able to get stuck in a iowa snow storm yet and we’ve had some good tests

2020 Plus model Redesign ROCKS>
I like the 2018 models which I got but these are cool as well
The interior is not bad but can be improved. As for the styling, the previous generation was much better.
Agreed! I love the 2019 model year!
To me, I like the new gen.
@@Snowy-oq4ur ya I got the newer stealth and kinda cringe at older ones now just love the sporty look. Still mad respect to the other escapes out there ;)
Ya really see a euro look
@@drewbadwolf5182 yes has quite a bit of Porsche Macan in the front. Thumbs up.
The 2021 Ford Escape looks alright, it’s a great price
Darrion don't you think the price is a bit high? Think of how many more features the tuscon has for only 37k.

Thanks for pointing that out. We doubled checked our info and you are correct 👍
Bought an escape loved it for a while but honestly power isn’t there, transmissions slow, it vibrates like a ford focus and costs a ton to replace the tires
"what's goooiiing onnn youtube" lol😄
Ok, is there a spare tire and where is it?
Noise insulation from chassis seems not quite excellent it's evident we can hear the noise.
It’s nice , but t it seems kind or small . Thanks guys
It’s a compact so yes
It's about the same size as the other vehicles in its class - a little smaller than the CR-V; a little bigger than the CX-5. It looks smaller than it is. It also drives smaller than it is, which is nice.
Why don’t you guys do commercial vehicles like the Ford transits or like Chevy express like ram promaster and more
Never really thought about it but I suppose we could
Awesome outstanding review ever as always guys, This 2021 Ford escape is a cool stiyled compact crossover that is fuel efecient for the family.😄❤💯👍
Junk

Hi does it have apps remote stater option on phone?
Buena experiencing del Ford escape titanium lo compraria en el salvador
Looks like a beefed up small Porsche Cayenne
Some people are smart enough to see it.
The Escape, the brand new Bronco(if you can call it that) has alot of issues and too early fo rme to be interested
Why didn’t they put 4x4? And was ford trying t copy the porsche cayenne, it’s got a similar looks.
The great value Porsche Cayenne
How would you rate this against the CX-5 Turbo Signature or even CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus? Just test drove those and almost closed a deal :(
LIve to shop another day!!!!
Those are both faster and more engaging to drive. And feel more luxurious, imo. Good luck deciding!
led front blinker and incandescent back? damn
Nice ride!!
Ford Escape looks better the outside design is better the interior is simple but powerful engine
I wasn’t a big fan of the design at first because it seems rather smaller I do got over it but I’d rather get a Bronco sport or Mach E
It kinda replaces the CMax other than Escape.
Thank you
That squirrel though lol.
😂😂
"I also ASSUME there is a spare tire." " 14:01 Apparently not on that one.
Not to mentioned it's co pilot 360 best car from ford
Ford U were doing so well what happened?
Why was this rated so low on CR then?
