The 2015 Escape is a compact crossover, just under the midsize Ford Edge. This one comes with a 1.6L turbocharged I4 Ecoboost making 178hp and 184 pount feet of torque. The Escape is Flex Fuel and will take regular, but premium fuel is recommended for the best performance. The roomy interior contains many convenience features and an abundance of available cabin tech. As a compact crossover the Escape feels more like a car version of an SUV, perhaps a utility based Ford Focus. With a 22/29 city/highway MPG, it is well suited for around the town errands.The ride is firm but not harsh over bumps. The 2015 Escape includes a standard rearview camera system which helps in visibility when reverse parking.
