It reminds me of those of GM products of the early 90s...unadorned, unloved.. Good news if you choose any Hybrid or PHEV 2020 Escape, which are the only versions worth considering. They all come standard with a digital instrument cluster as in the picture below. Edited January 16, 2020 by rperez817 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wAtch they the video it show How the image can be adjusted up or downward on the mini screen to improve the sight line. The video guy is kind of tedious though.

I agree, that gauge cluster is horrible. --- That said, have you seen any of GM's current gauge clusters - they look like they haven't changed since the 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir, I've been in a 2019 Chevy Equinox for one of my recent Lyft trips. The instrument cluster looked fine to me. Nothing particularly fancy, though it did have some bright accents and illuminated rings to jazz things up a little. It was quite different from instrument clusters for similar 1990s GM vehicles. 2019 Chevy Equinox instrument cluster. 1994 Chevy S10 Blazer instrument cluster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blazer digital cluster was fairly rare. Most where that awful blue disc style. Edited January 17, 2020 by fordtech1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend in college with a ‘94 Blazer years ago and the only cool thing about that digital cluster was the sequential turn signal indicator. It looked really cool... at least it did in around 1998. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think it was a 90s Pontiac Grand Prix where they made a LED display then created a digital speedo (or tach, can't remember exactly) that looked like an analog gauge. Only GM would spend $300 on a LED gauge and make it look exactly like a $10 analog gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rperez817 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Back to Escape Hybrid. My salesman at AutoNation Ford e-mailed me and said that the dealership just received a 2020 Escape SE Sport Hybrid with front wheel drive. MSRP is $32,845. I'll check it out this weekend.

Probably has 6-700k on the odometer now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 This looks like a nice job by Ford, but will be interesting how well this and the PHEV will compete with RAV4. Base RAV4 hybrid has 219hp combined and the new PHEV (Prime) will have 300hp. Most shoppers don't by small SUVs for performance, but 300hp sounds like fun.

The big advantage the Toyota will have is that their PHEV will be available in AWD. The PHEV Escape is only FWD. This could be a big deal in areas that see a lot of snow.
