2017 Ford Escape SE

The 2017 Ford Escape is a compact SUV that slots between the EcoSport and Edge, competing with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The Escape drives more like a car than a tall SUV, with quick steering and a composed ride that makes it easy to maneuver in town. Inside, the cabin offers generous headroom and legroom for tall drivers, and the rear seats fold flat to expand the cargo area. Available Sync infotainment brings voice-controlled calls and music, plus a backup camera that makes parking easier. Standard Sync infotainment and the 10-way power driver seat set the SE apart from the base S, while still keeping cloth seats and a manual liftgate. Its 1.5L I4 makes 170 horsepower through a automatic transmission, which is enough for daily driving while delivering 23 mpg city/30 mpg highway.
