FORD ESCAPE SE 2019 DRIVER
Upgrading to the SE equips the EcoSport with LED running lights, foglights, a windshield wiper de-icer, body-colored exterior accents, roof rails, rear privacy glass, rear parking sensors, a sunroof, keyless entry and ignition, automatic climate control, an upgraded driver information display, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable driver seat, heated front seats, upgraded cloth upholstery, a 6.5-inch touchscreen with the Sync 3 interface, satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. Features include 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, a rearview camera, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, height-adjustable front seats, 60/40-split rear seats, a cargo cover, a removable cargo floor panel, Bluetooth, a 4.2-inch central display screen, and a six-speaker audio system with two USB ports. The short list of standard equipment on the base S model is indicative of its modest price. Both engines are paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. Optional for those models and standard on the SES is all-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (166 hp, 149 lb-ft). The Honda HR-V has more passenger and cargo space, while the Subaru Crosstrek and the Jeep Renegade both offer rugged off-road ability.ĮcoSport S, SE and Titanium models with front-wheel drive are powered by a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine (123 horsepower, 125 pound-feet of torque). Buyers looking for a fun-to-drive crossover might consider the Mazda CX-3 or the Toyota C-HR. In a broader sense, the EcoSport doesn't offer anything unique. And while the touchscreen interface is better than most, the lack of advanced driving aids might deter some tech-savvy shoppers. Aside from the slow acceleration and middling fuel economy, the ride is rougher compared to rivals, the throttle is jumpy, and thick pillars impact outward visibility. That isn't to say the EcoSport is without faults. With an intuitive interface and quick reactions to user inputs, we think it's one of the best systems out there. We also like the Sync 3 infotainment system. Four adults should fit without issue - provided they aren't exceptionally tall - and the cargo area is one of the largest in the class.
The cabin design is similar to what you'll find in other small Fords, and the materials quality is appropriate for the price. Even though the Ford EcoSport's been on sale in other countries for the better part of a decade, its interior feels remarkably new.
