I love my Escape S. I'm glad I have one with the diamond pattern on the doors. If your worried about power with the 3 cylinder don't. The 1.5 has plenty of power. It is so quick off the line for in town driving and surprisingly it loves to cruse on the highway at 70mph. I also impressed with the comfort of the seats, how solid the care feels, how it handles the list goes on and on. I traded in one of the top rated SUVs .

Hey Steve! Fantastic! I like how you showed everything about this car. Very detailed! Thanks

I went from a Ford pick up to the 2020 Escape SEL and love it!!!

I wish all car videos were this well made. You speak so perfectly!!! I really like so much about this vehicle, but I'm 6'9" and my kids are mini giants and growing like beanstalks. Thank you for saving me a trip to Ford to see how we fit. And they discontinued the Flex :-(

I bought the 2020 Escape SE and I am surprised that they took out some things for the 2021 like the rear center arm rest, rear AC vents and power driver seats. Glad I got the 2020 version. Thanks Steve for your vids.

I ordered my 2021 SE Hybrid AWD on January 26th still patiently waiting. I added the panoramic roof option as well as the CoPilot 360 Assist+ package which also comes with factory navigation. Can’t wait to get it! Thanks for the great review!

Love my 2021 Escape Titanium hybrid FWD.

Getting ours next week thanks for the tour!

Thanks! Another great review! I purchased the 2021 Escape Hybrid Titanium model and it is a great vehicle. I did have one issue from Day one...the B&O sound system has a very bad and noticeable rattle in the subwoofer area...so bad that you can not listen to the system. I am pretty sure that it is being caused by a defective bracket and or not enough insulation and not the subwoofer itself. It is quite noticeable at certain frequencies. I wonder if you could look at one of these at the dealership you use. I hope that enough people that have this issue would get Ford to issue a fix or a TSB for this. At any rate I do enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!

I have a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black for almost 7 months. I don’t know the engine is in it. When I first test drove it. It was so advanced in it. My favorite thing in it is Apple Car Play in it.

[jackcsprat]

Very nice review, I am still trying to decide between the Ford Escape SE and the Toyota Rav4 LE

[bzeezus]

Great video! I just got an Escape SEL Hybrid. Do you know if there is a way to turn off the external backup sound it makes every time you put the car in reverse? It chimes constantly when it reverse and I can't find a way to turn it off in the menu. Thanks!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, I was confused by the blocking certain channels part, I didn’t know Sirius XM had anything other than Howard Stern nice
