Ford Escape
The Escape received a styling refresh for 2017. Its body was modernized while a cabin overhaul made it more practical and user-friendly. The base engine is a 168-horsepower, 2.5-litre four cylinder. There are two other available engines, both turbocharged: a 179-horsepower, 1.5-litre four and a 245-horsepower, 2.0-litre four, the second of the two paired with standard all-wheel drive. Several electronic safety driving aids come standard.
