2020 Ford Escape | The Turbo Alternative

For 2020 Ford has completely redesigned their compact crossover to directly target the top-sellers in the segment. With a standard 1.5L turbo engine, the Escape gives us better performance and better fuel economy than most of the competition and the optional 2.0L turbo and the new 8-speed automatic make the Escape one of the best performing compact crossovers under $40,000.

Thanks for the great review...I am an Administrative Lieutenant with the Sheriff’s Office in my area and we purchased four of the 2020 S models for some of our school resource Officers. This past Wednesday I went from a 2004 Crown Vic to a 2020 SE model for my assigned vehicle. I thought it was going to ride rough, have no power, be noisy and have no room. Was I pleasantly surprised. Has plenty of power, great ride, quiet and plenty enough room. I actually really like it so far and personally I have a 2020 Ford Explorer Limited with a 2.3 twin turbo ecoboost. For the money I really like the 2020 Escape so far and comes standard with a lot of features. If I had a complaint it would be that the seat appears to be stiff on the back at the bottom and has a little hump that presses against my lower back and is a little uncomfortable and I hope it softens up after use. If I was going to by one personally it would be the Titanium because I like leather and all the goodies. Oh and when I first saw them thought they we ugly but the look is growing on me. Thanks again.

Thank you for doing a video the way its supposed to be done. Everyone else is either SHOUTING LOUDLY, cracking lame jokes, or giving incorrect info. You are personable but direct and to the point - how I like it!

[joecanis]

Crisp, concise, comprehensive reviews. Alex, you do the best videos for people wishing to know the facts about vehicles.

[ztensa]

Alex, this video was great. Not only did you provide a great deal of info on the Escape, but also about its competitors. Helps me make a decision!

I recently gotten a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black. I got it late Monday afternoon. The following afternoon that I signed all of the paperwork and paid it full. I just realized it is a little bit lower than my 2015 Ford Escape. I loved the Car Apple Play in it. I’m getting better on cruise controls. It is so smooth in driving it.

Learning what I can about this vehicle before my Carvana Delivery takes place. Im excited and I have you to thank for breaking everything down and making the comparisons. I know that I made the right choice!

Bought an Se ecoboost model a week ago so far I love it fast when needed and not even broken in yet and already getting 27 mpg
Ride is smooth cargo area great, safety features galore.

0:53 Thank you for this chart. It is extremely helpful. No one else does this.

This vehicle looks a lot better in person. I think it looks good. I like the interior layout too.

Alex seems to do an honest and non biased review unlike many other reviewers who seem very biased.

[sherik.]

Your review helped me choose between Rav4 and Escape. With a couple of test drives and your review I was confident to choose the Escape Titanium. Thank you, Alex

[cgrscott]

It lacks truck like body lines but, the shape seems to be honest about what this car is and what it's not. I like it.

If someone drives a Ford Escape, does it make him/her an escapee!

[gregghanson]

Your reviews are amazing. That's for your very articulate and fully informed work!!

I have a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black. I just have it a little bit over a year. Before it was a 2015 Ford Escape SE in silver grey. My last vehicle that I had for almost 5 years before it died on me. I liked everything in my Ford Escape. It took me about 2 weeks on the controls in the newer Escape.

19:30 The Escape doesn't look bad from this angle. Even the front end. I think Ford overdid it with those side scallops in the doors though. A bit too deep.Almost looks like someone ran a shopping cart into the side while it was parked at a grocery store. Ford also went Frumpy on the wheel designs. The 17" alloys look virtually identical to the hubcap covers on the steel wheels for the base trim. Why Ford? Really you couldn't come up with a sporty 5 spoke wheel design or something? Would have improved the looks. Overall I wouldn't mind owning one. Think Ford did a good job overall.

Another solid review; thanks. I like the new styling quite a bit. Is it me, or is the interior and exterior design channeling the CX-5? Seems like a very strong influence, which makes sense as the CX-5 is easily the most attractive car in the segment (including the more expensive luxury models).
