2024 Ford Escape Active 1.5L Turbo - The Cheapest New Ford You Can Get! - POV Review & Test Drive !

[@gerdmueller9699]

Absolutely funny, everything is different in America. In Germany I just bought the Ford Escape/Kuga. As an "Active", which is the highest equipment, with an AWD 2.5l 190 hp Hybrit engine. Price € 56,000. I love FORD! 👍

Yes I see that the base Escape(Kuga) in Germany is just under $40,000 Euros.. uff! Interesting they don't offer the 2.0L 250hp engine for the Autobahn.. hmm. Thank You for watching from Germany! :)

I have the Active Version with Tech Pack 1, The 13.2 Inch screen is Truly Awesome!

[@petersautovlog]

Yes, hopefully getting to review a higher trim 2024 Escape, but I have not seen one yet at the dealer..all base/active models..

[@roychaffin1970]

Thats what i got

[@ronyork9324]

I really love it looks good for the value

[@petersautovlog]

Yep, its the best Ford gives you new for about $30k..

We bought a 2017 n it is sitting at the dealer for 5 weeks it needs a new motor and we got took real bad n we are seniors. It's at team ford in vegas. Help

ohh, sorry to hear that! I have a 2016 escape with the 2.0l engine and it still going pretty good. I know that Ford updated their engines for the 2017 models and some of those ecoboost engines were having trouble with mixing the coolant/oil and it was pretty much the end for the engine. Hope you get it resolved soon! Thank You for watching!

​@@petersautovlog ford for some reason went from a closed deck to a open deck head on them 2.0 starting in 2017. Family members has the same issue starting but "lucky enough" to get into a cash with somebody who who didn't stop at a stop sign. Wrote the whole vehicle off. Better off going with a 2014 to 2016 or 2020 or newer.

Wait so this escape active has an eco boost engine? I wouldn’t buy this solely because of the eco boost engine.

[@petersautovlog]

My 2016 Escape with the 2.0L ecoboost has 128k miles and it still going strong. I maintain it regularly with 5k oil changes..

[@Rikkisio]

@@petersautovlog I did some research on the eco boost engines and apparently ford fixed the issue on the later models. So I might get this escape now.

[@rogerwestergaard5953]

How much to lease?

[@petersautovlog]

I have seen on Fords website that they start around $330/m for a lease but of course there are lots of variables that can alter the payment..

[@Rikkisio]

Buying it cash is the way to go. You’ll save tons of money.

[@Rikkisio]

My ford fusion is 7 years old, so I’m not in the market to buy a new vehicle. But if I was I would buy this escape. I’ll be in the market in 2 years. Too bad ford is going to discontinue the escape in 2025.

[@petersautovlog]

Yes, hopefully they have plans to update or come up with a similar improved compact suv..Thank you for watching!

[@MattSmith8591]

You talk to fast. Can't make out everything.

[@petersautovlog]

I guess that double expresso in the morning did not help out. But Thanks for watching!
