Reviewed a 2015 Ford Escape on Jun 3, 2026
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 stands out as a compact crossover with a long history, but it now feels somewhat overshadowed by Ford’s newer Bronco Sport. Even so, it still sells well in a competitive field, and its available up-powered engine gives it an advantage for shoppers who want extra passing speed. It also brings an impressive array of safety and infotainment technology, along with an upscale, handsome design that helps it feel more modern than its age might suggest.
At the same time, the 2023 Ford Escape is not without drawbacks. It may feel a bit cramped for some shoppers, and it is priced on the higher end of the segment. The interior materials can feel cheap, and wind noise is another weakness. Even with those compromises, it remains appealing for buyers who value comfort, strong available performance, and a tech-forward approach in a practical SUV.
