2023 Ford Escape Overview in Vernon

When it was first introduced in 2001, the first generation Ford Escape had a tough appearance, an optional V-6 engine, and an all-wheel drive system that was relatively advanced for the time. This gave the impression that the vehicle was designed specifically for off-road use.
In today’s market, Ford’s compact off-road SUV needs are legitimately covered by the Bronco Sport – a Ford vehicle sharing its foundation with the Escape. This frees up the similarly sized Escape to pursue a more relaxed lifestyle despite their similar dimensions.
The front-wheel drive configuration is standard, and all-wheel drive is still an option; however, the rest of the package is anything but rugged. Customers have the option of purchasing one of two hybrid power-trains, one of which is a plug-in hybrid, along with either a four- or three-cylinder turbocharged engine.
Although not very upscale, the 2023 Ford Escape has an attractive exterior design and a cabin that offers plenty of room for both passengers and their belongings. The performance is about par for the class, but if you put a premium on the driving experience when getting from one place to another, you’ll find a lot more to like in more spirited competitors like the Volkswagen Tiguan or Mazda CX-50.
