Ford Escape
The compact Escape is fully redesigned for the 2020 model year,
with curvier styling, updated drivetrains, two hybrid models, and
more standard advanced safety features. The new Escape is slightly
longer, lower, wider and has more interior space than the outgoing
model, yet it’s about 200 lb. lighter. Both the all-new 1.5-liter turbo
3-cylinder and 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engines come mated to
an 8-speed automatic that replaces the previous 6-speed unit. Both
the regular and plug-in hybrid models will be mated with a CVT, and
front- and all-wheel drive will be available. All Escapes will come
standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency brak-
ing with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic
warning, and lane keeping assist. The 2020 Escape goes on sale in
Fall, 2019.Overall Score NA

Average 03Ford Edge
The freshened Edge SUV got updated powertrains and addition-
al advanced safety features. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cyl-
inder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission is standard
and provides smooth, quiet acceleration. The new high-performance
ST trim gets a V6 turbo and AWD. The roomy interior provides com-
fortable quarters, front and rear, and cargo space is generous. The
driving position is uneven because the left footrest sits too close
to the driver. The Edge can rival a luxury car with its quiet cabin,
steady ride, and agile handling, and the Sync 3 infotainment system
is easy to use. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision
warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection,
blind spot warning, rear cross traffic warning, lane departure warn-
ing, and lane keeping assist.
