Niccee. Anyone have any ideas on when more details will be released? Article mentioned it'll be different than traditional equations.

If I got one it would be a Premium AWD with Extended battery...only $58K
Lets see what Z plans to that
I actually prefer the non-GT grill.
Will x and z plan etc work on the mach e?

Look what I found on my local dealer's website. Hybrid mpg ;) 43 city 37 highway

I'm surprised there's no ST Line or ST trim for Escape here, especially as a way to differentiate further. I guess they feel Escape buyers aren't wanting that type of model?I would be all over an ST model. I'm probably going to go corsair or escape depending on test drive and deals. Explorer is nice but don't think I can justify the extra size/price. Wife and my father in law already have edges (thanks to me lol)

Only the Mazda looks dramatically better to me. And I don't think it's a secret that Escape is targeted at low end buyers especially since it's replacing Focus, so they're keeping it as cheap as possible. Going after the high end Titanium buyers didn't work on the last gen - most wanted cheaper SEs.
I was looking at the Mazda cx5 too, but I don't like that you don't have a touch screen when driving - you have to use a knob :/

Does anyone know when crash test ratings might come out for the escape? Or the MPG for the hybrid? Thanks!

It seems like they’re taking that launch much slower than the Escape. I'm already seeing billboard ads for the new Escape. Nothing for the Corsair yet and radio/tv ads for the Aviator are only just starting in my market. I did hear a passing reference to the Corsair in a local Lincoln dealer ad in one of the podcasts I listen to so I guess that's something?
Update looks like corsair reviews drop October 1st

I read on an Instagram post that the embargo on reviews for the corsair lifts next week.

Probably because they are not the same vehicle nor are they, in the traditional sense, built on the "same platform." They are both built from the same "flexible architecture", come off the same line, and are similarly sized. Not much else is the same, though.
What are the main differences between the two? Are they major in terms of performance/handling etc?

Yes better materials, softer leather, push button gear selector. You should really go drive one before deciding. They should be out at the same time as Escape (or within a couple of weeks).
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to check out both

For some reason the build and price only shows 2 options, but there are 5, with different trim options depending on option packages:
Thanks! Any idea when corsair will be out?

Do you mean much nicer in terms of materials? Most options seemed similar with the exception of adaptive suspension and different seats etc

Somewhat strange they aren't offering ventilated seats on the Titanium. But then again they have Corsair as an option (which Mazda doesn't have). Ventilated seats are available on all Corsairs.
I was looking at the corsair. Do they only come with tan or blue interiors? Or am I crazy lol

So, ventilated seats is one Feature. I can buy that. A quick search does look like RAV4 and CRV have those as options. One reviewer noted the Escape seat material "looked" like they could have done vent seats, but didn't. He figured that would be a feature down the road perhaps.
How HUD is implemented isn't what I'd call a missing feature.
Yeah I'd just say it's a missed opportunity. I'm not sure why they went with the method they did. Maybe cost savings? Would be much more impressive projected onto windshield. My buddy used to have an old grand prix that had that. It was pretty cool

Corsair street price should be right around $40K for a loaded Standard or Base Reserve (FWD). Worth a look since you get better materials, longer warranty and pickup/dropoff service (I think that's still offered).
Didn't realize there was a difference in warranty. Is it a big difference in time? Any predictions on escape street price? Haha

Have you considered a Corsair?
I looked at it a little, but I think it got expensive pretty fast once you added a couple packages. I saw it at the NY Auto show and it was nice. I'll take a another look though. I'm trying to stay under $40k. I wouldn't normally look at Mazda but they're basically giving you every option they have for the same price as the escape ($37k) so a lot of this will depend on what kind of deal I can get on the escape (which since it's new might be tough).

The new Escape is the only compact CUV to have the large digital display. The others are a mix. Escape has far more and better power train options. Many of the reviewers like the 1.5 EB to the point where they recommend that over the 2.0 even.
Show me a FEATURE that one of the other CUV's has that the new Escape doesn't.
I'm in the market for a compact SUV. I'm in between the Mazda CX5 signature trim and the Escape titanium (2.0 or hybrid).
Mazda has ventilated seats and a HUD that projects onto the window and its faster/supposedly handles better (based on reviews and 0-60 at least). Reviews say Mazda has nicer interior materials since they're apparently trying to push into the luxury segment.
Escape has a touchscreen (which I prefer over Mazdas knob) and the option of a hybrid. I actually prefer the escape's styling compared to the cx5. I don't like the pop up screen HUD (would prefer windshield HUD) and I wish it had ventilated seats and a wireless charger (apparently a wireless charger and additional usbs are coming later, but idk how much later - probably too late for when I plan to purchase). Overall none of these options are a deal breaker for me (they fall under the category of nice to have but not need to have). The difference in 0-60 is pretty small so I'm not concerned about that. In terms if handling I'll have to wait until I can test drive. I'm curious to see the interior materials since quite a few reviews called Ford out on that.
Anyway just my .02 since I'm in the market

The 2020 Escape first drive reviews for the 1.5 and 2.0 were released today. I think the hybrid review will be released Thursday. I noticed a couple articles mentioned a wireless charging pad will be added after launch. Has anyone heard this? Motor trend had 0-60 on 2.0 pegged at 6.9 seconds - not too bad.
I currently have a mustang GT. Just got married last November and its on it's way out. I used to have a focus hatch that I loved. Since our next step is a family and I live in the north - I need something semi affordable with AWD. If the baby bronco were coming out sooner there's a decent chance I would go with that, but considering time constraints (the dreaded aluminum hood corosion problem that causes bubbling paint just started) I am probably going to go with the escape. At first I wasn't a huge fan, but it has been growing on me and I'm interested to see how it handles since it's so similar to a focus hatchback.

Any idea when the configurator is going to go live?

Transmission or Bronco Sport
in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Posted
So I just found out today that my 2016 Ford edge with about 76k miles needs a full transmission replacement which sounds like it'll cost around $7k. I'm considering buying a bronco sport instead of spending the $ on the transmission. So far every dealer I've checked is over msrp. Anyone have any strategies or ideas on how to not get completely ripped off? (Keeping in mind I can only go without a vehicle for a limited amount of time). I used to be a Mustang club member but the membership lapsed and it looks like you need to be a member for 90 days now for a x pin.
