The popular Ford Escape was fully redesigned for the 2020 model year, and found that the hybrid model is the most compelling of all the versions available This small SUV has been massaged and morphed into a curvier model that looks more like a raised hatchback and less than a utilitarian box, as SUVs become alternatives to traditional sedans. The Escape also got new powertrains, more elaborate interior technology and standard advanced safety features. We found the new Escape agile and solid feeling but it also suffers from a few flaws that should give buyers pause.
The standard engine is a 1.5-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder that’s quick to deliver power when needed, whether in town or on a highway. However, it suffers from a pronounced vibration at low revs and during coasting. The hybrid version, with its 2.5-liter four cylinder, is much smoother, as it does away with that nuisance. And the uplevel 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder does without the vibration as well.
