    We just found a 23 model never titled, 32 miles. Ford gave us 0% financing, 2k off sticker and 2k trade in bonus. We are very happy
  • @diydrivenGA
    One good thing about these escape hybrids is that they're a great value on the used market while a RAV4 still commands 80 to 85% of its MSRP even a few years later
  • I own a 2008 Escape with the 3.0L V6 and 4WD and I absolutely love it! It’s got 153,000 miles and still going strong! Not a single light on the dash either
  • @friznutzs
    That exhaust sounds like they deleted the resonator
  • @powdernitz
    For 25-30 its good. Any more is nonsense.
  • I have a 2023 ford escape hybrid 2023 platinum, and I love this car.. I already have 35000 km on it in less than 1 year.. long drives and city driving it's really good..
  • I prefer the 2024 Toyota Rav4 or Prius Primes. I love the fact I waited over 1.5 years (Sept 2022 order) to find out the vehicle has not made it onto the "scheduled for production" list. Also really enjoyed the realization, that once I get it the dealer might just increase the price on me; rare Prius Maximum Yellow color. And even better if I wait long enough, I get to pay an additional $5,000 over others before me because the March 31, 2025 deadline for the Federal Rebate in Canada is coming up quickly. Alas, I have settled on a 2024 Ford Escape PHEV (full load, tri-coat white, roof, block heater even) with a $5,000 government rebate, $1,500 Ford rebate, and an additional $2,300 dealer rebate. Hey, for the $10,000+ savings over the 2024 Toyota Prius Prime (Mystery Arrival Edition) and the MORE comfortable interior... I'll take it!

    these are such a sleeper in the very crowded crossover market. They're too expensive now, but they used to be super reasonable. Got a fully loaded 2013 back in the day for under 30k. Still have it. It's a dog but it's super comfortable, pano roof, power liftgate, parallel parks itself, and amazing seat heaters.
  • @engineer2001
    Kudos on the editing for this video. I loved seeing the Mach E and Escape pop back and forth so we could see the similarities. I never noticed, but it's legit that they look similar.
  • @heinrichdude
    The heated seats in my 2020 Escape are a little psychotic as well - so damn hot! Thankfully in 2020 they still had physical buttons for all the climate. Shout out Europe for ensuring our physical buttons will return.
  • @rileys03rex
    I really like the Titanium 2.0 liter turbo on the newer Escapes. The 3 cylinder SEL ain't bad either.
  • @timtroke
    Have a 2023 and love it, no speed records, but great on gas, has lots of room for moving things in the city. Easy to park and you can get one inside of a few weeks instead of waiting a year.
  • @lego4virgo
    I have a '20 Ford Escape. I think this one does a good job of giving more style with the revised front fascia, and Jakub--no rattling in the rear like what you had with that Ford Bronc Sport Heritage! (My cousin experienced the same with her Bronco Sport Outer Banks and gave it up for a Kia Sportage). Also, more rear leg room/reclining seats in the Escape vs the Bronco Sport, though the Bronco Sport makes up for it in more cargo area. I have a regular ICE 1.5L version, and I think I'll take my hp/torque numbers over fuel efficiency. But I'm impressed how many folks really love this PHEV version.
  • @AyoBrownKid
    This is not my favorite trim level but there is some value in this vehicle. ford really nailed the styling on this refresh.
  • @Accost2u
    50k in the US, absolute piece of junk. Ford is out of their minds with their prices and cheap quality these days.
  • @Pro-Gaming244
    I've been looking it you buying one, so thanks. This helps out a lot
  • @Bolanderr
    The MSRP is pretty irrelevant. I don't know where everyone in the comments here lives but the out the door price in Canada when you actually go to the dealership is much lower than what is being suggested here. I am getting to like $46,000 without much negotiation for the base PHEV including $5,000 IZ rebate and 13% HST. I can tell based on my discussions the dealers are willing to go lower than that. That is more than $10,000 less than the best apples to apples RAV4 prime price I was able to negotiate and those are not even available. Even if the RAV4 Prime was available, there seems to be no room to negotiate with Toyota given the demand and the lease and finance rates are significantly worse as I write this. So, would I rather the RAV4? Yes, but given the price difference and if financing/leasing, my payment will be like $200+/month less on the lease for the Escape with comparable mileage/$ savings. Given all of that, I think this vehicle is pretty compelling as an alternative.

    Honestly the Ford Hybrids are really good. In Illinois they still run 2008 Escape Hybrids as taxi’s
