AWD adds 170 pounds, and with three adults in the car, Mays said acceleration suffered and there was a hesitation at the start from a full stop. There are no quick escapes when the 1.5-liter version of this SUV is weighed down by extra occupantsand the optional all-wheel drive.

And the large rear-quarter windows have been traded out for much smaller ones that obstruct the driver’s view of the blind spot - and which Mays refers to as “useless.” Competitors often feature ventilated front seats and heated rear seats - both of which elude the Escape. This Escape lacks the previous one’s storage nooks in the center console.

It features Ford’s easy-to-use Sync 3 multimedia system and works with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Waze directions and Amazon Alexa voice control. While the base trim only has a 4.2-inch screen with few integrations, an 8-inch touchscreen comes on all other trim levels. A rear sliding adjustment - new for 2020 and uncommon in the class - can make 6 extra inches of cargo room without sacrificing much of that backseat space. In the backseat, a higher seating position gives plenty of knee room. This Escape is bigger on interior space than the last one. Interior Space 2020 Ford Escape SE | photo by Kelsey Mays
Optional are adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering, both of which work all the way to a stop. Even the base model comes standard with a blind spot warning system, lane departure warning with steering assist and automatic emergency braking, the latter of which was previously unavailable in the Escape at any trim level.

Where previous Escapes lacked safety and driver assistance tech, this one is full of such features, making it a class leader in the category. 2020 Ford Escape Titanium | photo by Kelsey Mays 4. At higher speeds, body roll feels contained and shock absorption is good overall. It steers with light effort and a quick steering ratio that makes it feel easy to maneuver. Like its predecessors, the 2020 Escape rides and drives well. It puts out 280 pounds-feet of torque, which reviewer Kelsey Mays says “starts early and ends late.” This version has enough power to handle the load of all-wheel drive and several passengers, and it’s less “peaky,” to use Mays’ description, than the previous-gen 2.0-liter. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine of the top Titanium trim makes 250 hp and is mated to the same eight-speed automatic transmission as the 1.5-liter. The turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder puts out 181 horsepower - enough power to feel pretty brisk when driving around town with the standard front-wheel drive. Lighter for the 1.5-LiterĪ 200-pound weight reduction over the last model proves to have been a much-needed load off the Escape’s standard engine.
