Thank you for the detailed review! I had to search through a handful of videos before finally landing here and you covered everything I needed to know. I've had a 2011, 2014 and now a 2020 Ford Escape... obviously I love this car to pieces. My car dealer sent me an offer that was very enticing to upgrade and I was tempted, but I'm not happy at all with a lot of the changes. I think I'll hang onto the one that I currently own (and love) a little longer.
Give me physical buttons…. PLEASE. The touch sensitive buttons and having to go into the touch screen to me a safety issue and a deal breaker for me. Having to search through pages just to adjust an option means you have to take your eyes off the road and is a distraction. Thanks for the review.
It's such a bad refresh! They removed amber rear signals and integrated them into the brakes. Still no fogs, but LED lower driving lights. Keypad entry is now an option. The removal of buttons and knobs is terrible, especially with Ford's horrid screens with massive delays. Still no ventilated front seats or heated rear seats. There are luxury crossovers that cost less than this thing. The outdated lightbar looks so bad! There is so much hard plastic in this thing for the price ($57k in Canada). The removal of puddle lamps and mirror signals is also so weird. The fact they still use the much-hated rotary shifter is odd. The Platinum trim is nothing more than an SEL with an optional Titanium package. There is no body colour exterior cladding, or platinum coloured Ford badges. Overall this is a big disappointment!
Exactly. Ford quoted me $57,000 cash all-in, when their sticker price came to a total of $56,000… they were trying to scam me. They had a discount of $4,000 the week before, and I went in and they said they had no prior discounts and the price they were asking for was $57,000 CAD… such a joke. I ended up buying a 2020 Subaru forester for half the price (literally $28,500) WITH a full coverage/complete warranty until 2026…
In EU prices are lower and the guarantee with the 2 years extension (for few hundred euros) is 7 years. The car is full extra and has every tech possibly in the highest level in eu called ST Line X. I completely disagree that there are more luxurious with less money. The RAV4 does few things better but it’s more expensive with the same extras. If you want lux in EU you can get a Q5 which with the same extras will cost you instead of 45k euros the Kuga (escape European name) costs..80k . I would not go for Mazda as the in EU the reputation is bad.

01:32 definitely looks LED. The sharp on/off give it away.
I own the 23 ST-Line, FORD went with All LED Lighting Front to back' 😎 Turn Singnals, Reverse Light All LEDS Great job FORD.
Escape with the 2.0L turbo is fast. The base engine is a three cylinder. You kept saying it's a four cylinder.
Bought my wife her 2nd one and she loves it I'm thinking of trading in my f150 with fuel prices nuts for hybrid
Correction, BASE 1.5 IS A 3 CYLINDER WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION when Decelerating!
Like the updated look!
Waiting to take delivery of my 24 Escape Active Trim with Tech Package 1.
You still mention the base model even though the “base” model is the active
If you know what I mean there used to be an escape base, then the active. This year the base name has been dropped
@@jordanbourla1054he's reviewing a 2023, the 2024 gets rid of the "base" trim
Looks great but what about reliability? Escapes had transmission issues.
Ford sells a lot of them with an unlimited warranty for 2 grand more. They’ll either fix it or buy it form you as long as you own the car.
Cool
Please do the Toyota sienna
Okay why isn't the turn signal amber?
