Ford’s all-new Escape is earning plaudits everywhere—and that includes prestigious automotive organizations. Both J.D. Power and WardsAuto have awarded the compact machine honors this week.
J.D. Power has bestowed the 2020 Escape with the top spot among the compact SUV segment in their J.D. Power 2020 APEAL study. The study has measured the level of excitement and emotional connection among vehicle owners across 37 attributes for the past 25 years. This includes power and luxury considerations.
The 2020 Escape has also been given two hearty thumbs up from WardAuto. The automotive body includes the crossover among its ‘10 Best User Experiences’ list, citing its driver-assist technologies, including Active Park Assist 2.0 and Adaptive Cruise Control.

“When we reinvented the all-new Ford Escape for 2020, we considered how small SUV customer needs have evolved and pivoted to make Escape an even better urban mobility vehicle that delivers great fuel economy, features advanced technology and is fun to drive,†said Mark LaNeve, Ford’s vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “That’s why we now offer two different hybrid choices, including an all-new plug-in model with best-in-class EPA-estimated 100 MPGe, an available digital instrument panel and SYNC 3 infotainment and second-row legroom that tops larger SUVs’.â€

If you’ve missed this week’s news on the upcoming Mach-E and Bronco vehicles, be sure to check those announcements out in this blog section. However, we understand that there’s also plenty of news to celebrate when it comes to current, already available autos, and for that, we turn today to the tremendous 2020 Escape SE.
Whoever said compact crossovers can’t pack a punch? This Escape comes ready to tackle the roads of Penticton with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine that sports stop-start technology for fuel savings. Perhaps more impressive, though, are the 180 horses and 177 pound-feet of torque. When paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission, you’re benefitting from a sensationally smooth ride.

The 2020 Escape SE has you covered when it comes to safety, too. A back-up camera is standard, helping you take caution when reversing into a busy road. There’s also the lane-keeping system, which warns you when you stray from your path and serves to help keep your attention on the road ahead.
