Underneath it is a smallish bin that is deep and narrow. The center armrest is nicely padded and well located. Soft touch surfaces abound, including on the tops of the door panels where tall folks like me rest their left arm.
Inside things are very nice for a base model. The ride and handling of the Escape give it a fun to drive factor that is missing in most other CUVs. Steering is nicely weighted, especially for electronic steering, and feedback is good as well. When driven is the manner in which it is designed, it is above average. The handling is not sport car sharp, but it acquits itself nicely. If you like a little fun feel in your cars, the Escape won't disappoint. It rides a bit firm for a vehicle in this class, but having driven the Honda CR-V, which like all Hondas, is the equivalent of riding a dead horse. It also has chain driven cams, so no worry about timing belts. It's a workhorse and has proven reliable. Just appreciate it for what it is.an old school, tried and true design that's been around in some form for many years. Myself, on the other hand, am a bit of a speed freak and the 2.5L is not winning any races. She just happily drives along oblivious to the fact that she has the "base model" engine. My wife never notices the engine being an issue. It's also NOT direct injected, which should help avoid the carbon build up on the intake valves so may GDI engines suffer from. It is quiet, smooth, and proving to be fuel efficient. Meaning it's not dangerously under powered, but it's no powerhouse either. We now have two Escapes in the garage!įor a performance standpoint, the 2.5L naturally aspirated four cylinder is just adequate. I was so impressed with the vehicle that we replaced my Ford Fusion with one. In order to get some of these items, you have to step up from the base … trim (the 2016 Kia Sportage is a good example.you can't get a backup camera in base trim).
