Sagemax Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Since the 2020 models were released late this year (Escape PHEV), will the 2021 models be released later next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Very strange all those delays these days. Can't get a 2020 Escape PHEV yet and some 2021 model already available with some companies Edited September 3, 2020 by Paradise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagemax Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm really looking forward to the production. I ordered mine in April and still nothing to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hope that I'll get it before Devember 15th because I don't have winter tires for my Escape 2013 anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I think that the shipping date to the dealers is a well kept secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I guess it will be soon because there's already ads on TV about Escape PHEV here in Québec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagemax Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I hope to have mine before the end of September and take advantage of the Ford employee discount. It is much better than the agreement reached last April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) That's what I got.

Paradise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Because of the gov. rebates, I have it for less than the equivalent hybrid. Since I make 80% of my trip in town, it's a really good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) I almost forget that I got 9 000$ for my old 2013 Escape Titanium ??? Edited September 3, 2020 by Paradise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
