For this test, we have the one-up-from-base 2021 Ford Escape ST-Line FWD (front-wheel drive) that costs from 37,990. Safety gear includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist with lane centring.įord might have been well served to offer a cheaper version so more people could access the styling and practicality, perhaps with a less potent engine. The Ford Escape starts from 35,990 before on-road costs, and will sometime in late 2021 be available as a plug-in hybrid costing from 52,940. Then it’s an almost $9000 jump in price to the top-spec Vignale.Īt $35,990, plus on-roads, the base Escape is pricier than most entry points but also has standard gear befitting the price: keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, digital radio, sat nav (with Australian accent recognition), 8.0-inch touchscreen and more. The mid-spec ST-Line is $2000 more and gets flashier styling and an admittedly very good digital instrument display, but the base model’s display is more than adequate. Higher grades can be had with all-wheel-drive for $3000, but we’d argue the base model could be the pick of the bunch for most buyers.
