Why it stands out
The 2021 Ford Escape stands out in the compact crossover segment due to its blend of versatility and efficiency. With multiple powertrain options, including a hybrid variant that boasts an impressive fuel economy of 41 mpg combined, the Escape caters to a wide range of drivers. Its interior offers generous space with a sliding rear seat for added convenience, and standard tech features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enhance connectivity. However, it faces criticism for its uninspired styling and some low-quality interior materials. Although the Escape doesn’t set the bar significantly higher than competitors like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, it often provides a solid choice for those prioritizing passenger space and a variety of engine choices.

This car is best with the higher trim and solid 2.0 Turbo awd drive train. One of the best values in the segment. Also plenty of room for performance increase if thats your thing.

Bought this vehicle certified Gold certified for my daughter. Great value vs. competitors, great standard safety features and great mpg. You wont win any drag races, but the engine is absolutely fine. The car is sharp looking and practical. And Ford dealers are everywhere.

The features were good. The reliability rating is terrible. The fact that it had 2 owners with 7000 miles on it was a turn off.
