2006 Ford Escape ESi

The 2010 Escape XLT AWD offers five-passenger seating and five doors, including the rear lift-gate. Packing a standard 2.5-liter DOHC in-line four-cylinder (I4) engine and a five-speed manual transmission, the 2010 Ford Escape manages 171 hp at 6,000 rpm, and 171 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm and kicks out an impressive 19/25 for AWD trims equipped with the six-speed automatic. Owners and reviewers alike describe the 2010 Escape’s 2.5-liter I4 adequate on the highway with the six-speed automatic providing nearly flawless shifts up and down the range. Equipped with standard 16-inch wheels, a four-wheel independent suspension with MacPherson front struts, a front stabilizer bar, and a multi-link rear end, the 2010 Escape, though not the quietest compact SUV on the market, nevertheless provides a relatively smooth, alert, and comfortable ride, according to virtually all professional reviewers. In terms of technology, comfort, and convenience, Ford has traditionally been on the cutting edge, and the 2010 Ford Escape is no exception. The XLT adds such standard comfort and convenience features as a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, digital keypad locks, wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, front and rear floor mats, and Sirius/XM satellite radio. Reviewers and owners alike are impressed with the Escape’s crash-test scores, always a criterion for the discriminating buyer. The NHTSA gives the Escape five stars in driver and passenger front and side impact testing, as well as rear side impact protection. Additionally, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the 2010 Escape its highest rating of “good” for front and side impact protection.
