If you pick the ESCAPE over a Mazda or a Toyota, you will be making a BIG MISTAKE!

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!

Sorry for the long post. This is written from the heart! I just bought a RAV4 Hybrid last weekend after the worst car owning experience in 40 years of owning cars. The all time WORST experience (out of 11 vehicles) was owning a Ford Fusion, 2010. I bought it new, and I am super careful to get my cars regular maintenance. It had 106,000 miles as of last Sunday. This Fusion was recalled three times, once for a bad fuel tank-which had me in a rental for NINE MONTHS, and for a faulty passenger seat back (ever since, that seat squeaks), and for the airbag thing-had me in a rental for another 3 months! The driver side door handle broke twice for no reason, (the Ford guy at the dealership said "They make these things out of such cheap plastic!"). The sunroof, which we almost never used, one day just didn't slide back and it was a cheap piece of plastic that had somehow broken-and it took several days to repair, taking the entire ceiling out-and then they put it back in sloppily and with a wire poking out. The latch for the little compartment on the dashboard never worked properly-my wife gave up trying to open it years ago. The faring under the front bumper constantly dragged on curbs until the entire front threatened to drop off. In addition, the CD player stopped working, and the tire pressure sensors, the check engine light, the door open light all were on constantly with mechanics saying it's just the sensors malfunctioning. So we drove for many months with these meaningless warning lights from crappy sensors. But then the wrench emblem light came on just a couple of weeks ago the engine actually died at a stop light. This happened a few times and I decided to take it in for a major inspection and service at the dealership. They found a faulty canister purge flap and fuel filler flap. The engine mounts have collapsed, so the car vibrates a lot. The throttle body had to be replaced for free (another factory recall issue I guess). To fix everything to get this car up and going would cost about $3000. That's way more than the KBB value. The trade in I got was $500!!! When I bought this Fusion, Motor Trend named it 2010 Car of the Year. I always wanted a Ford! This was exciting. It looked like a real semi-luxury sedan. I had every intention to drive it for 150,000- to 200,000 miles and get a decent trade at the end after maybe 15 years. We took care of the car, and I don't race or do anything stupid. I commute and maybe put 12,000 per year on it. The car has never seen a dirt road and I live in California where the weather is pretty mild. The only thing I can take away from my true experience with this car and Ford as a company is that it was built to impress enough to be driven off the lot, but NOT to last! It's quiet and comfortable, which is why I bought it. But the actual materials and systems are shoddy and super cheap. The bewildered look I got from the mechanic when he was telling me what a turd my car was...VERY telling! They KNOW it is a lousy product! That's the feeling at the dealership from the little store to the parts department to the "Quick-Serv" desk. The many Toyota's I have either owned or known well through family and friends my whole life have been overwhelmingly reliable! I will never, ever buy another Ford product.

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!

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.

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.

Great review Alex on this ford escape. I just bought a Hybrid and I love it. 42 MPG so far with combined driving.

Another Fantastic and extremely informative review. The Escape is worth a look as it has more interior people space and a quieter ride than the cramped, slower and rather noisy Rav4. This new Escape also has engine options and better performance than the Forester, I sure wish Subaru would add they're new regular gas 2.4 Turbo with its solid mpg figures as an option, but Sadly they don't want to give people options...Thanks again, Ford.

I liked everything in my Ford Escape. It took me about 2 weeks on the controls in the newer Escape.

What bothered me with Ford’s last generation Escape is that the power figures and fuel economy for the EcoBoosts were tested with 91 octane fuel and were worse with 87 octane. Their advertised MPGs weren’t even close to the real world use, even with premium fuel. With 87, it dropped even more. I’m afraid that still holds true with the 2020 model’s EcoBoosts too.

I'm not saying the new Escape isn't a nice car, but 40K is a lot of money. I would either go with a more affordable trim or opt for a different vehicle. Even if they discount it 5K after it has been out a few months. it still is priced up with some really nice cars. If I were buying now I would get the Ascent premium trim as our dealer has on on his lot for 37k . Towelie mentioned the Telluride or Pallisade which also would be worth looking at.

Great review. I was ready to upgrade from my 2017 until it became clear that the cargo area behind the back seat had been reduced by a fair bit and doesn't serve my needs for dog and cargo very well anymore. There needs to be more of a difference between an SUV and a Sedan in that regard. Very unfortunate choice by Ford.

Seriously the cargo area is tiny. My S80s trunk is a great deal deeper than the Escape. Kinda weird given they're the same length. I cant carry nearly as much now.

Very good review, Alex! The lease on my 2017 Fusion SEL will be up shortly and I am looking to upgrade into an Escape. I'll probably take the Escape SE model. I won't be giving up much stepping down one series. In fact, the Escape SE will have equipment I don't currently have on my Fusion SEL. Good to know Ford has been making 3-cyl engines in Europe for some time now. I currently have a 1.5T GDI 4-cyl which has the same hp (181) as the new 3-cyl. The Escape is a well-packaged compact CUV. I look forward to driving it.

Best car review of any car channel/Blogger ever of what's not and what is, 👏👏👏 ..Thank you Alex👍

I was dismissive of the 3 cylinder but this is the second positive review I've seen of it, so now I'm intrigued. Those dimpled interior door panels are ugly and cheap looking, however, and may be a deal breaker.

Great video, so much straightforward information! (unlike the other channels that try to be witty to no avail)

Does it scratch at a level 6 or 7 though?

As a Ford guy I love the design and the fact that it has a Teutonic feel to it. As a man who is 6’2 and is mostly torso and longer in the thighs, shorter in the calves I’m going to have to see if I’m comfortable with the seats. I wish that it had extendable seat bottoms like many cars have such as Lincoln’s so that I could be assured. In view of our looming inflating fuel prices this appears to be a great vehicle for the decade.

I expect that Ford will get a lot of negative feedback on this and will make changes in the following year.

First ever heads up display in a Ford and they had to go with the cheeseball plastic sheet method rather than the windshield projection method most manufacturers have gone to? That's pathetic. There are cars costing thousands less than a loaded 2020 Escape that use the projection method, so it's not just luxury cars that have that feature. Really not surprising though since Ford has always had cheap plastic interiors, even in their loaded $70K+ luxury trim trucks.

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.

Instead of an Escape - and we have owned 2 as well as a Mercury Mariner - I purchased a Jeep Cherokee this last time. V6, 9 speed auto, all the goodies, $36K. In 15,000 miles, I am averaging 28 mpg. which I consider excellent for a V6. On trips with the cruise on and a steady 65-70, I have achieved 33 mpg on some tanks. I do not use the lane keep assist or the automatic parking. Both are worthless as far as I'm concerned. Blind spot monitoring is so-so as far as usefulness.

06:38, the button blank is only one.. not two blanks. So that wouldn’t add up to cooled seats. In other countries the model has a button for a windshield defroster (think similar lines like the back window), that’s the blank there. For whatever reason that’s not a thing here in NA. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Looks like a sales winner

Very good review from Alex as usual. The new Escape is very interesting in every trim. I'm very interested to see what the plug in hybrid is going to offer.

Please get rid of the 'dented' interior door panels. Fake wood is blech.

I said the same. I dont get it. The escape was at a fair and we saw it. Even WORSE looking in person. Many were commenting the same. And its cheap plastic too on the Titanium so even more disappointing for their nearly $40k pricetag.

I agree, not a nice look. Interior looks cheap.

They added it on purpose, so someone would buy Lincoln. I think Toyota does the same.

Hill start assist on an automatic? While that doesn't sound completely useless, really, I wanna say why bother

The 1.5l in the Crv is now standard.

"In a memo sent to dealers, Honda’s manager of auto campaigns and recalls, Brad Ortloff, said oil in these engines could be diluted because of software settings or potential hardware failures. Some vehicles could experience “lack of power,” leading to cylinder misfires or engine noise." Consumer Reports "But if the vehicles are stalling, as some owners have reported, this is a safety issue and Honda should conduct an official recall, which doesn’t expire.” Consumer Reports .

When can I expect Lincoln Corsair review from your channel? thank you.

This car doesn't excite me really and I don't buy Ford designer's description that he was inspired by BMW motorcycles as this car looks a lot like a jacked up Ford Focus we don't get now. But I really enjoyed your review Alex and loved your thorough explanation of the 3 cylinder engine as I was curious about it and how it worked and performed. The motor alone make me want to try it out just to see how it does perform.

Well done review Alex. The Fusion is a well styled and optioned alternative to the competition. It should fill the gap with no car version (Focus) of this platform. Everything looks well done including your review. Can’t tone down the foreign brand lovers!!

Not a fan of the looks.
