2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid: Is This The Best New Hybrid SUV???

[@SBC581]

You breezed over the best stuff. I just bought one for my kid. We went on a 600 mile road trip. Gas mileage was great (high 30's). Adaptive cruise control and lane centering works great and it does force you to maintain some contact with the steering wheel. It tells you to put your hands on the wheel 3 times then turns off assist if you're being hard headed (like car punishment) It took some sharp turns a little faster than I would have but it practically drives itself. It keeps a comfortable distance between cars. Passing slow vehicles is simple, just steer into the next lane and it speeds up to your designated speed. Even with heavy traffic and construction the car knows what to do. It starts and stops like someone is driving manually. You can adjust the cruise control down if you're in heavy traffic and the speed limit changes. So the car won't do 70 in a 45. It also maneuvers away from vehicles if someone cuts you off. The "Auto Hold" was great at the drive thru. Park assist works perfectly and the built in Navigation was much easier than using navigation on my phone. After 600 miles, I wasn't tired and achy. It's a very pleasant ride. Oh forgot, the B/O sound system is fabulous!!!

MPG in the high 30’s? We’re u cruising at 80 mph? That’s low mpg.

[@melodytalks3432]

Thanks, do agree with your findings, 👌👌👏

[@SBC581]

@@Rhaman68 75 - 80 MPH yes. Is there a SUV getting 40+ MPG on the highway?

Can you tape hotdogs to the wheel to fool it?

[@MrTomengle]

Bought one on Saturday. Wife’s car, I will be lucky to get to ride in it! She really likes it.

[@JimSpence]

Test-drove one today. Super impressed. For a mid $30K AWD Hybrid, can’t be beat. Better build quality than my $60K Tesla Model 3. Wish the upcoming PHEV Escape would offer AWD. Also wish current hybrid would have an EV priority mode like RAV4 Hybrid.

I have a 2020 Ford Escape SE a little bit over 5 weeks now. It is in black color. It looks so sharp looking with the grill.

[@sealoftheliving4998]

Next time in your video. Show the gauge to see how it works when the electric works and when the engine works. Don't just show the road and your face. You show the gauge when the engine will work and when the engine stop working, how much is the speed the engine will work without turning off. Also the electric when it will work and when it will stop.

Within the first 2 seconds of the video I guessed that was Utah. I would recognize those hills anywhere, any time.

[@WWeronko]

I bought a 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid one month ago. It is a fine car. The self driving capability is fun and helpful. However its constant nagging that I have a firm grasp on the steering wheel is irritating. Having traded in a 2016 Ford Escape Titanium I can say that my biggest compliant with the 2016 was the SYNC, especially GPS had a lot to be desired. The 2020 SYNC is better. The GPS is not. It still cannot find places or takes me to the wrong place and it is vastly inferior to phone apps like Waze. Ford needs to try harder in that regard.

[@pamelajones6818]

I got one a year and a half ago, we love it!

[@arturosanchez4838]

I just bought mine 5 days a go and im in love so faar but... How can i make the lights strobe effect??

[@Alviniscute]

that's due to the camera, a slow refresh rate on LEDs makes them look flashing

Alviniscute thanks but... can you explain me more pleaseeee???😬

[@StephenPhillips]

I currently have an 2020 Escape Hybrid Titanium myself. I love every feature in it. The only downside is that for some reason, I hear a rattle when playing music on my B&O sound system. It's coming from the rear. The car has about 67k miles on it. I think I also hear a rattle in the hood somewhere. I noticed while doing research, I am not the only one with this issue. Any thoughts?

[@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree]

what about all the recalls?

[@missiletm]

Anyone know when the plug in Hybrid version will be available?

[@modernsoccer1860]

saw one today, thing is simply beautiful and amazing

Bring back the fusion!!! Im using an escape as a loaner car, its a nice vehicle but fusion better styling tbh

Isn't Escape Titanium Hybrid using engine type 2.5L iVCT which generates 165 hp?

250 hp

[@gianmariavolonte4315]

200 bhp combined

[@george85200]

I hope they carry the digital gauge cluster to the F150, my lease is up this September and I want a F150

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

The size will probably be different but they'll definently have the same design and structure, to save money if for no other reason.

[@BenHardyCars]

george 69 that would be awesome

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

The interior already leaked. Not sure which trim level but the one they got was a digital instrument cluster. Looks very different thought because the f150 has more gauges. Also comes with a 12in center touchscreen.

[@Davido50]

New F150 is gorgeous but this is last model b4 complete redesign next yr. Smart $ is on outgoing '20 F150 as its perfected ...an all around class leading. Check out new Ranger its top of midsize class. Incredible powertrain! We love our new Ranfer XLzlTbmmmmm

Que significa rear belt monitor fault

[@justinchu7788]

that infotainment lag is not good... but the looks is plausible

[@mkelleci]

In my point of view, you can only buy this car if you haven't personally checked out the competitors' cars. I checked one out yesterday and especially the interior was a disappointment. Nowhere near to be able to beat the competition with this price tag.

[@sbradley34]

What did you smoke before making this video? Did you even look at a 2019 Escape? The 2020 Escape is totally different than it's previous iteration. It's called a 4th generation for a reason.

[@sanjeevk1842]

It feels like you are putting down this vehicle. Many people count on reviews to buy or not to buy a vehicle.

[@rasheedwhite4647]

Nah , dude , it's ugly and the infotainment system is hideous looking.

[@g.r.2985]

Funny how the dealer lent you this and you so openly dismissed the car. As mentioned, people do rely on these reviews to buy, but you also dismissed your channel and real advise you might have otherwise had.

Hybrid cars are not designed to stay & doomed to fail. After all why carry two power train every where , pay two maintenance, pay for two fuels, two headaches only to achieve one objective !!! And yet damage environment as there is no Tomorrow...Total madness. I guess taxi drivers & those travelling more than 300 miles a day could benefit from Hybrid cars.

[@JimSpence]

They’ve been around for over 20 years. This is only 400lbs more than the regular gas and double the MPG. Maintenance is maintenance. Cost of ownership per mile is significantly less long term on hybrids due to fuel savings. This Escape is within a few grand of the gas only cousin so why not go for it?

[@melodytalks3432]

@@JimSpence Well, your counter argument is rather controversial as fossil fuel cars era will soon be over as their impact on health, environment, wildlife etc long enough has been devastating. City after city barring fossil fuel cars in Europe and replaced by EV cars for a very good reason!

@@billcosby3700 You really need good luck with any car if you're careless enough to let it run empty. I don't need to visit desert at all, I do use 35 miles on average each day and charge the car once / maybe twice a week and save a lot of money in the process as electricity is much cheaper than fossil fuels. Ohh, pay very little or non towards the maintenance, don't use the breaks, so no pad or disk erosion thanks to regen system.
