Got a OTD quote for a new 2023 Ford Escape Active for $26,600 OTD (overseas tax free sale). On upgrade is tech package 1 which give some drivers assists/tech and bigger center screen. FWD
Seems like a good deal for a grocery getter and occasional road trip. Any thoughts on the price or the vehicle itself? Previously had a Mazda CX5 and was very happy with it. This won’t be as sporty but does share some DNA. |

Have you driven one?
I had an Escape ST line for a rental in the fall, put about 800 miles on it. I didn't really care for anything about it. I think you'll be disappointed if you go in expecting it to be like a Mazda. |

That bad eh? No CVT so I figured it shouldn’t be a terrible experience. On put a few miles on a the last gen model.

They share nothing now. The Escape motors had issues in the past so buy with caution. Get another CX5 or a CX50  Attached File Attached File |

I wouldn't say it's "bad" by any means, it's just another global Fomoco product that is meh in every way. It seems the 8 speed should be better than the last Escape's transmission, which they were sued for, at least. Like any car, you should drive it before you buy it. |

I can't speak on the price of the Escape Active.
I have a 2023 Escape ST Select AWD with the 2.0L Ecoboost. I haven't had any issues with it and it drives fine. The ST Line does have better suspension so it handles the curve very well. I really haven't had a chance or need to test out the AWD system yet so can't really comment on that. I have been averaging 30 MPG combined. The lowest has been 28 MPG when I drive mostly around my small town. |
