It has a 2.5L naturally aspirated motor. The two smaller motors Ford used are not as reliable. This motor is very reliable. Plenty of interior room and trunk space. Very happy with the car.

Why it stands out
The 2023 Ford Escape is a compact crossover with a long history, but in this model year it can feel like an older nameplate trying to keep pace in a crowded segment. Its appeal starts with a handsome, upscale design and a tech-forward approach, and it stands out for offering an impressive array of safety and infotainment technology. Ford also gives shoppers an available powerful engine upgrade, which adds extra passing speed for drivers who want more punch.
At the same time, the 2023 Ford Escape is not without compromises. It may feel a bit cramped for some shoppers, and it is priced on the higher end of the segment. The cabin can also come across as less polished than buyers might expect, with interior materials that feel cheap and too much wind noise. Even so, it remains comfortable and well liked for its performance, interior comfort, modern features, and practical, stylish character.
