Miles Overview
The 2012 Escape is Ford's compact SUV, competing with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. It feels nimble in tight spots, and the steering is light enough for easy parking. The ride is composed on the highway, though it can feel a bit busy over rough pavement. The cabin is roomy for a small SUV, with plenty of headroom for tall drivers and a cargo area that expands when you fold the rear seats. The XLS is the base Escape, so you skip the XLT's extra chrome and available V6, but you save a few thousand dollars and still get a well-equipped small SUV. This XLS has the 2.5L I4 making 171 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which gives it sure-footed traction in rain or light snow and returns 23 mpg combined. You don't get the XLT's optional V6 here, so expect modest highway passing power, but the four-cylinder is smooth and the AWD system adds confidence without much fuel penalty.
