(If not clickable, please copy and place website above into your browser)The Ford Escape is a perennial compact-crossover favorite, and we expect much of the same for the updated 2017 version. The Escape earns its crossover stripes with optional all-wheel drive, respectable fuel economy, a spacious cargo bay and an available hands-free power liftgate with a super-cool foot sensor. But it's also agile and instills a level of driver confidence that's quite rare in this 2017, certain desirable features have trickled down to more affordable price points, such as the newly standard automatic climate control system on the midgrade SE trim level. Inside, there's now a convenient storage area ahead of the shift lever for your phone and such, while additional stowage options have been sprinkled throughout the you've been waiting for full smartphone integration with the Sync 3 interface, you're in luck for 2017, which sees the advent of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, not to mention the new FordPass with Sync Connect ownership app. Furthermore, the Escape is now more or less up to date in terms of safety offerings, providing modern technologies like lane-departure prevention and forward collision alert for shoppers so has also tinkered with the Escape's engines this year. The previous volume-selling turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine has been replaced by a turbocharged 1.5-liter version. The new 1.5 has similar power and fuel economy specs to the 1.6, but the 'turbocharged' part is more about fuel economy than performance. If you can swing it, the potent 2.0-liter turbo engine, which makes a bit more horsepower and torque this year, makes the Escape one of the quickest small crossovers in its the 2017 Ford Escape is a solid vehicle with many strengths, there are a few rivals we'd advise you to consider. Like the Escape, the Mazda CX-5 is feature-packed and will appeal to those looking for a crossover that handles more like an agile hatchback. Nor will you go wrong with the Honda CR-V, which is roomier on the inside than the Ford and Mazda. We're also fans of the all-new Kia Sportage, a surprisingly refined and upscale alternative that offers an optional turbocharged engine to match the 2.0-liter Escape. But if you're looking for a tried-and-true crossover that's capable across the board, this Ford should still hit the Styles, Trim Levels, and OptionsThe 2017 Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV that comes in three trim levels: S, SE and features on the S include 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, LED taillights, MyKey parental controls, cruise control, air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, a 60/40-split folding and reclining rear seat, a 4.2-inch central display, a rearview camera, the Sync tech interface with AppLink smartphone integration, Bluetooth and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player and a USB to the SE adds 17-inch alloy wheels (optional on S), the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, foglights, thicker (i.e., quieter) front side windows, a keyless entry keypad, rear privacy glass, dual-zone automatic climate control, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, rear air vents, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat (with power lumbar), upgraded cloth upholstery, a rear center armrest and satellite can upgrade the SE with the available SE Technology package (Equipment Group 201A).

The base Escape S features Ford's venerable 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, but Ford tells us that this model is aimed primarily at business fleet SE and Titanium come standard with the new turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder (179 horsepower, 172 pound-feet of torque), which is expected to be the most popular choice. Stepping up to the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (245 hp, 275 lb-ft) is easier than ever for 2017, as it's now optional on the SE and Titanium. As for fuel economy, the new 1.5 peaks at an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway) with FWD, while the 2.0 is right behind at 25 mpg combined (22/29). Opting for all-wheel drive lowers each combined estimate by 2 mpg. If you're wondering about the base 2.5-liter engine, by the way, it's rated at 24 mpg combined (21/29).SafetyAntilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags, a driver knee airbag and full-length side curtain airbags are standard on the 2017 Ford Escape. Ford's MyKey (enabling owners to set electronic parameters for younger drivers), a rearview camera and blind-spot mirrors are also standard. A blind-spot warning system with cross-traffic alerts is optional on the SE via the Technology package. Additional options include forward collision alert and lane-departure warning and Design and Special FeaturesThe 2017 Escape's interior doesn't look much different from last year, but Ford says a number of fresh materials and design elements have been introduced. New storage areas in the center console -- facilitated by the space-saving standard electronic parking brake -- are certainly welcome, while a redesigned steering wheel is also among the upgrades this year. Overall, the Escape's dashboard layout is arguably a bit dated by current standards, but plentiful soft-touch materials and generally impressive fit and finish help keep it the debut of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration for 2017, not to mention the new FordPass with Sync Connect app for various remote functions and vehicle health monitoring, the already well-received Sync 3 tech interface becomes even more appealing. Sync 3 is feature-rich and easy to use, with an attractive interface and large virtual buttons that are easy to press. Swiping motions switch between screens, and pinch-to-zoom functionality on the optional navigation system further echoes familiar smartphone interactions. Sync 3 still isn't standard on lesser models, however, and the small base display is flanked by a number of similar-looking buttons that can be hard to decipher quickly while you're driving.4-Cyl EcoBoost 2.0T,Auto 6-Spd w/SelShft,4WD,Power Liftgate Release,Hill Start Assist Control,Electronic Traction Control,AdvanceTrac,ABS (4-Wheel),Keyless Entry,Keyless Start,Air Conditioning,Power Windows,Power Door Locks,Cruise Control,Electric Power Steering,Tilt & Telescoping Wheel,AM/FM/HD Radio,CD/MP3 (Single Disc),Sony Premium Sound,SiriusXM Satellite,Navigation System,SYNC,Parking Sensors,Backup Camera,Dual Air Bags,Side Air Bags,F&R Head Curtain Air Bags,Knee Air Bags,Heated Seats,Dual Power Seats,Leather,Fog Lights,Rear Spoiler,Alloy Wheels,
