The new Ford Escape comes with either a V-6 or four-cylinder engine. It gets 17-22 mpg in the city and 24-26 on the highway. I drove the Limited 4 WD with 240-hp and the 3.0 L IVCT Durante V-6 Engine and the 6-speed automatic. There is a Hybrid Version that gets around 40 mpg with the electric mode.
The exterior of the car was Black Clearcoat, while the interior was charcoal with leather-trimmed bucket seats.
A recent consumer report asked Ford customers what they thought about the Escape. On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest, customers gave the Escape top marks in comfort, performance, handling, features, value for the money, and reliability.
Ford offers three warranties for its products: 3-yr/36,000 mile bumper to bumper, 5-yr/60,000 mile powertrain, or 5-yr/60,000 mile roadside assistance.
