    2020 Ford Escape Debut set for April 2nd

      ... here are a few teasers to hold you until then.

    Ford is getting ready to introduce a new Escape for the 2020 model year on April 2nd.  The compact crossover is one of Ford's best sellers, moving as many as 308,296 units in 2017.  The growth trend has stalled though and sales dipped to around 272k units last year.  The current generation went on sale in 2013 and was facelifted for 2017, but since then, new editions of the Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Equiniox, updated Jeep Cherokee, and Toyota RAV-4 have hit the market.

    Ford offered a teaser video via twitter today that gives some hints as to what to expect from the 2020 Escape.

    The 2020 VIN decoder shows that the current 2.5 liter 4-cylinder will not be making a return, instead replaced with the 1.5T that will carry over.  The 2.0T also remains as an upgrade.  Hybrid fans can rejoice because after a 7 year absence a hybrid will be returning to the lineup and will also be joined by a Plug-In Hybrid option like the Lincoln Corsair.  No word yet on the range of the PHEV.

    We'll hear the whole story about the Ford Escape on April 2nd.

    This is very interesting, I hope the plug-in has range like the Volt has.🤔

    That's unlikely. It will be more like the fusion energi with 25 miles of EV range.

    The Hybrid will sell no better than it did back in the day, which is to say... dismally.  New Escape looks smaller than the current one in photos.  I think I will like it, but I would much rather have a Maverick or Courier.

    Escape / Mariner hybrid actually sold really well.

    I think plug ins are a good transition however I think nowadays with EV only cars having such long range, it would be nice for the plug in to go like 100 miles or more, so you don't have to plug it in, every. freaking. night.

    the spy images of the new Escape; not very promising.  We'll obviously see furreal on the second, but the new egg shape not appealing in the least, to me.  Very soft, femme.....

    Yeah I said this munts ago... they have to differentiate it from the Maverick/Baby Bronco to give each model room in the market.

    Looking at today's reveal pics on Forbes, it looks really small...very curvy, deep creases in the doors..

    It does look small but it's actually 3.5 inches longer.

    I wonder if the longer length is all in the front overhang, or if the wheelbase has been increased.  The greenhouse looks smaller..

    There's a possibility but I highly doubt that's where all the extra length went, especially with the claim of most rear seat legroom.

      Ford News: Tesla Has Nothing On Ford and their Next Generation Electric Truck-Project T3

      By smk4565 · Posted

      This is good stuff, I am glad Ford is expanding and helping the push to eV, the faster we go all EV and EV costs come down the better.  Also it is good they are investing the education side, because this country as a whole needs more people in Manufacturing, auto repair, auto body repair and trades in general.  We kind of got away from making things here and a lot of the people doing trade jobs are older, once they retire we are screwed if there aren't young people doing it too. 2 million EV's by 2026, Tesla is already there.  GM and Ford will probably have a good battle for #2 EV maker, what I don't see from Ford is the volume vehicles outside of F150, which the Lightning as it now is far outsold by the ICE version.  Mach-E isn't a volume product, Ford needs the $30k Escape EV that can sell huge numbers.  Lincoln is a dead brand, you aren't getting volume there.  Ford could do well with pickups and vans for the commercial market.

      @surreal1272 Common Man, your popping his conspiracy bubble of false narrative about pricing on items that are not Tesla or Mercedes AMG Fan boy crazy prices cause an American Company has built auto's that are collectors items. 🤣 Here is just a portion of what I found in my neck of the woods and I see no price reduction like SMK is saying.

      Good lord. Did you miss the limited production part of the Demon or do you somehow think there will be millions of them 20 years from now? It should be noted that the other cars you mentioned are all less than 20 years old too so maybe (skipping the fact that I routinely see CTS-V Wagons going for right at their original sticker with low miles), pick a spot and sitka with it because you can't have it both ways. A low mile limited production Demon will fetch above original price 20 years from now. They start at $69K and the Redeye starts at $76K so...go ahead and explain this...   And this...

      Used Hellcats right now are $50-85k for the most part, nothing is going to make those go up in value.  So I don’t see the last call demon selling for like $200k 20 years from now when there will be a ton of cheap hellcats and prior demons out there All the prior CTS-V’s, Camaros, Shelby Mustangs all depreciated.
