The Blue Oval's redesigned-for-2020 Escape compact SUV might offer freedom from a car, but at what price?
Ford's redesigned-for-2020 Escape may anchor the Blue Oval's SUV-heavy lineup but it's not exactly the value play we were hoping for. Read the full story here.
For the new model year, the 2020 Ford Escape sports all-new styling, and freshened interior, updated powertrains, and much more standard and available technology.
The latest Escape comes standard with a 181-hp 1.5-liter inline-three engine that, while ample in power, is not the most refined thing, particularly when its cylinder deactivation system idles one of its cylinders.
The Escape's optional upgrade engine is a 250-hp 2.0-liter inline-four that can propel the compact SUV to 60 mph in an impressive 5.7 seconds. A Escape hybrid variant also is available.
Both of the Escape's gasoline engines come mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard but all-wheel drive is a $1500 option.
We're still warming up to the latest Escape's exterior styling, which can look like it's trying too hard to emulate a compact hatchback car.

The 2020 Escape's interior, while now sporting more room and technology, is underwhelming in its presentation and material quality.
Our Escape SE AWD test car with the 1.5-liter inline-three seemed like a reasonable and practical package for about $25,000. Unfortunately, it cost more than $30K with just a couple of options.
