• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance costs for the Ford Escape are typical for a compact SUV. Parts are readily available, and most repairs can be handled by any qualified mechanic.
• Technology (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The base model comes with essential tech, including an 8-inch touchscreen and basic smartphone integration. However, advanced features like adaptive cruise control or a larger infotainment screen are reserved for higher trims.
• Comfort (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The interior is functional with decent space for front passengers. Rear legroom is acceptable for its class, but the base model's seat materials are basic and lack significant support for long trips.
