Ford Maverick actually showed himself as quite reliable and unpretentious caruncomplicated in service and inexpensive repair. Idylli violates only the box, especially in combination with a 3-liter engine.
Ford Escape came to replace the compact Ford Maverick, which was recently one of the most popular Ford SUVs (mainly in the United States - where he held a very long time in the top sales). In Russia and in Europe, Maverick was not good at Maverick, but the car was "knew."
New Ford Escape, by the way to say, not so new. All aggregates: Transmission, force aggregate, four-wheel drive - All of them are known for a long time, they can even be called outdated. Because Ford Escape technical characteristics and does not shine. But as family Universal For those who have consisted - Ford Esquepe is perfect.
In general, usually, when the model is obsolete, the easiest and most common method of returning the interest of the public to the car - restyling. But in the case of Ford Maverick, it happened otherwise - the positioning of the model remains the same, but almost everything else has changed, right up to the name. The fall in demand for Maverick made Ford practically create another car ... Although, in fact, the SUV simply updated and renamed Ford Escape.
In short, whatever it is, Ford Esquip is a family station wagon increased passibility. The main Buyers of Ford Escape are people aged 35 ~ 45 years, for which the cast appearance of the car is not priority. Therefore, the design of the Ford Escape SUV is most likely restrained. Exterior Ford Escape This is strict forms of the classic wagon - a slightly inclined front rack and vertical rear - forms tested years. Is that a stylish plastic body kit around the perimeter and a glittering chrome wide grille of the radiator, give Ford Escape to some recognition. The standard light from Ford Escape is halogen, but it shines not the best way.
Inside, Ford Escape is still just as outside, but quite worthy: inexpensive and practical plastic, "Serious" velor. What can not like - the branded blue backlight of the dashboard (in the dark it is strongly "covered" eyes, which makes it very difficult to read the information from the instruments). For climate management in salon Ford. Escape responds three regulators on the center console. But they are not so easy to figure out due to the non-standard inclusion algorithm. Zero position, the OFF mode is in the middle, and not on the side, as it usually happens. It is possible to get used to, of course to everything, but it is convenient to call this decision.
But one of the most important properties of a family car, which is Ford Escape, this is a space in the cabin. And the space in Ford Escape, at first glance, not much. But this is not quite so - this impression is created due to the high floor: road clearance ford Escape is 21 cm. And the spaces in the salon is quite enough. An extensive range of adjustments and a high ceiling will be allowed to grasp even a very high person. And the back will not be closely and threesome, the inconvenience can deliver only a practically vertical sofa back. As for the trunk, with the length of the SUV 4.5 m for baggage, sufficient volume is also isolated. For loading of overall things you need to open, easy by the way, the fifth door, well, and the trifle can be thrown through the separate rear window.
Also, not least family car Choose safety and behaviors on the road. Well, in terms of safety, Ford Escape is all in order - belt pretensioners, frontal and side pillows Security system stabilization ESP.. But the dynamics and handling of Ford Escape, frankly, medium. Range on Ford Escape will definitely fail - only measured ride.
The gasoline engine with a volume of 2.3 liters outputs the power of 145 liters. from. at 6000 min-1. This is a lot, but such a car like Ford Escape is capable of overclocking up to 100 km / h only in 12.1 s. The outdated four-stage "automatic" contributes to the sluggish dynamics of Ford Escape. It does not quickly adapt to driving style. To speed up this process, you can go to the mode without a fourth transmission, but it will not particularly affect the dynamics of overclocking. Maximum speed In 161 km / h, Ford Escape reaches on the third gear. When switching to the fourth turnover, up to 4000 min-1 decreases, and the speed gradually decreases to 155 km / h. This mode can be called an economical or "track".
Steering ford Management Escape is informative not to call. The steering wheel is lightweight, but shortestability saves it: from the stop until the stop is only 2.9 turns. And with sharp alternate loads, the performance of the GUR falls, due to which the steering wheel begins to go heavy, but does not "eat."
In terms of maneuverability - in front and behind Ford Escape multi-dimensional suspension. Front McPherson with stabilizers transverse stability, Rear - with double transverse and longitudinal levers. As a result, the suspension turned out to be the most elastic and comfortable. It is easy to quit any irregularities, not even the noise. And the big clearance and high gravity center have caused modest indicators on rearrangements and slalom. After loading Ford Escape until the result, the result decreased by another 2 ~ 3 km / h. What once proves that Ford Escape is designed for a measured and comfortable ride, and not for racing.
In the braking test, Ford Escape showed steadily good results.
In general, Ford Escape has become a worthy continuation of Ford Maverick. It is reliable, simple and comfortable. Ford Escape does not claim leadership in its class. This wagon is directed exclusively to a certain segment of buyers (adults 35-45 years old - a family that loves leisure and country trips). Choosing Ford. Escape can be dictated by exceptional practicality.
Ford Escape will provide the owner spacious salon With good transformation. Its engine, although not new, but economical enough. The appearance is calm and, you can say neutral.

Despite the fact that the manufacturer refers to Escape to the line of SUVs, which also included Ford Explorer. And Ford Expedition, this model was a crossover with limited off-road capabilities. The Escape of the first generation was produced from 2001 to 2007 with front or full-wheel drive and only in a five-door body. Production was established at two factories in the USA, and various modifications Later were produced in the Philippines, in Taiwan and Vietnam.
The first generation of "Esqueipov" stood on the conveyor at the end of 2000. In the model line "Ford", this car stood on the step below the large and frame "Explorer", while surpassing in dimensions compact crossovers "Honda" and "Toyota". At the time most american SUVs , built and intended, first of all, for the transport of heavy loads. However, in the Ford concern, it was understood in time that not all owners of all-wheel drive cars ride off the road and carry concrete blocks with them, so Escape was made on the European recipe: and independent suspension.
In the European market, Escape was sold under the name Maverick, in addition, he had a Japanese twin brother - Mazda Tribute. In the United States, there was a luxury version of this crossover who worn the name Mercury Mariner, the production of which was discontinued at the same time when Mercury brand was abolished.
In 2005, restyling was produced, and a year later, "Maverick" disappeared from the European market. Thus, in the countries of the Old World, until 2009 (), "Ford" there was not a single model that could take a niche of compact crossovers.
In 2006, the production of Escapes began in Taiwan. Machines called ZC Escape have changed much outwardly, having received other optics, new bumpers and hood. As for the internal and technical changes, then rear drum brakes There were, and the 4-speed "automatic" became a non-alternative option when choosing a gearbox. In 2008, ZD Escape production began in Taiwan. External changes Bumpers and optics again touched. In addition, the only 6-cylinder unit disappeared from the engine rulers, only a 4-cylinder 2,3-liter motor remained.
Technical features
Escape did not have anything in common with senior models: this car did not complete with 8-cylinder engines, the volume of the trunk and the cabin, compared to the full-sized Expedition, was quite modest. But the most important thing, it was impossible to be fully called an SUV. The system of the full drive, developed by American Dana corporations, worked on a typical "crossover" scheme: the rear axle was connected only when the front wheels were signed. Opportunities to use a rigidly connected permanent four-wheel drive with the distribution of the torque 50 to 50 of this model did not have, as there was no lower transmission. Moreover, the AWD system was an option, a considerable number of "escapes" came from the conveyor with the drive only on the front wheels.
The engines were only three, of which a 3-liter 200-strong unit was considered the most optimal choice, making Escape enough dynamic car. Back side Was increased flow Fuel, which is not far behind the larger and heavy "explorar".
The only review of the model was made due to the problem: the car could start accelerate spontaneously. A total of almost half a million "Esquipov" was revoked.
Security
According to the results of crash tests conducted by National Traffic Safety Management on US Tracks (NHTSA), Ford Escape received four "stars" of five for the safety of the driver and the front passenger in front of the front strike, five "stars" for the side blow And three - for the safety of passengers during the coup.
Interesting Facts
In 2003-2004, Escape was considered among the most unsaoled cars in the United States. Experts of insurance companies explained this, in particular, that all Escape were equipped with the Securilock system. If I discovered that the ignition key is not "chipped" or the "chip" sewn into it is not related to a specific car.
In 2004, a hybrid "Escape", which became the first hybrid SUV. In the North American market. The total power of electrical and gasoline engines Massed 155 hp The car accelerated to 163 km / h, and the average gasoline consumption was 7.8 liters. In the second half of 2004, 17 thousand hybrid "Esquakes" were produced, four times more than originally planned. These cars were very popular with taxi drivers.
Competitors
The main competitors of Escape are considered Honda CR-V And Toyota RAV-4 of the same years of release. "Ford" is not inferior to them in reliability, more often - richer is staffed, and with a three-liter engine - also more dynamic. In addition, American is unpretentious in maintenance and inexpensive in repair.
Buyers
Ford quite clearly determined the target audience of buyers of Escapes: these are people who need a compact all-wheel drive car For riding on the roads, not by rough terrain. Frames, heavy SUVs with "honest" full-wheel drive for such a category of buyers - too large and voracious. In addition, those who fall into the target audience of Escapes, there is no need for the transport of large-sized goods or six passengers at the same time. In Russia, Used Escape and Maverick are still popular as inexpensive and not too expensive in repairing an alternative to Japanese crossovers.
Figures and awards
The hybrid "Escape" in 2005 became Best SUV»According to the jury of the North American Truck of the Year.
The same modification has become the most-selling American hybrid in the US market: by 2010 106 467 hybrid Escape were sold.
