I just bought a "used" 2022 Escape SEL PHEV and it is great in every way. I don't qualify for the US federal tax credit but the price reduction more than compensated for that. I bought it as the next step from my Toyota Prius V hybrid wagon in eco-friendliness. The Escape has so many improvements, bells, and whistles. I was going dizzy reading the Owners Manual, but determined to learn as much as I could (and try out all the options. Watching this video made it very easy. Everything I needed to know is spelled out and I can use the manual for reference. Thanks for the exhaustive review. And thanks for the pause/backup function to go over the stuff I missed.
Appreciate that Richard, glad you found the video helpful. How are you enjoying it so far compared to the Prius?
@@CarsWithSteve Hi Steve, Honestly there is too much age between the 2013 Prius and 2022 Escape to be fair. The newer technology in the service of safety, comfort, and convenience is far more advanced than anything a decade ago. I will miss the larger cargo capacity of the Prius wagon, but the Escape compares well with Toyota's RAV4. Plus the Escape has better legroom and headroom than the RAV4, too, which is important for a 6'3" guy. The older Prius navigation system was not upgradable (were any in that age?) and mobile phone apps quickly outpaced it. Ford's SYNC system seems better but being able to employ iPhone features through CarPlay is even better. Here in California it's difficult to find any RAV4 or Escape withOUT a sunroof, which I didn't want. The car I bought was a special order from one of the dealer's employees and has all the options I wanted and none I avoided. There is a school of "learn by driving" to figure what bells & whistles to activate or not. I prefer making up-front decisions and your video helped me do that, though I'm still learning. Thanks.
Very true.. it would be night and day tech because of the difference in model year. Thanks for pointing out that you're able to fit inside no issues being over 6'! Great idea on putting in a factory order instead of settling for what's on the dealer lot, if you're not in a rush I always recommend that to make sure that you get exactly what you're after. Enjoy the ride :)
Oh man I have been looking at different vehicles and yet yours are the most detailed of all. Kudos! Thanks for doing what you do! Helps a lot! I ended up purchasing PHEV SEL tech and sunroof so a titanium lite. Was an awesome ride can't wait to take it home.
Thanks Josh, appreciate that! Haha always good to hear when people like all the detail I go into. There was someone on one of my other videos that commented they picked the Escape PHEV over a Mach E - the few people I know that own one seem to really enjoy it!
I love your detailed comparisons of the three models, which makes it really easy for people to know which model they want to get… 👍🏼
Thanks Matthew, great to know the videos are helping people!
Fast talker! Great info. Thank heavens for rewind! Just got a 2022 Ford escape PHEV and love it. Setting up the whole thing can be a headscratcher. You helped a lot!
That pause button is useful! Other people have found the playback speed at 0.75x makes it even better. Glad the video helped and great to hear you're loving the new ride!
I’ve watched a lot of reviews of this car and yours is the most detailed and clear. You actually deserve millions of subscribers! You just earned one more ;)
Thank you, appreciate that 🙏
I'm liking and subscribing. Why? We'll because you god damn well deserved it for this presentation and detail.
Thanks Martin, really appreciate the support!
You gave a GREAT review full of valuable information. Thanks!
Thanks so much Lindsay, appreciate that! Glad you found the video helpful :)
Great breakdown of the Escape PHEV. Loved the details. Good job.
Thanks Jeremiah, glad you found the video useful!
Great overview. Thanks!
Appreciate that Simon!
Unfortunately, there were no PHEV Escapes available when I bought my 2021 Escape Titanium Elite hybrid. I still love my Escape hybrid. You did a thorough walk through of the vehicle and its features. Thanks!
They were really challenging to find - there were maybe a few dozen that came to Canada in 2021. Glad you found the video helpful! How are you enjoying your Escape so far?
@@CarsWithSteve I love my Escape hybrid.
@@WanderingAroundAZ Good to hear 👍
Good Info for Ford Hybrid / Cars with Steve.
Thanks Manuel, glad you found the video helpful!
Nice review! I was debating between getting the escape phev or Ioniq 5, escape is about $10,000 cheaper, what’s your advise?
Thanks
Thanks Stefan! They're 2 different animals.. Ioniq is fully electric while the Escape is hybrid. I'm in an Ioniq next week but if it's anything like that Kona Electric it'll be a great ride.
You have to ask yourself if you're ready for fully electric or if hybrid is the way to go for now. With gas prices the way they are some people are leaning on electric but the PHEV Escape will run off mostly battery power if you're doing short trips and aren't heavy on acceleration. Plus you have the benefit of gas backup just in case
I have a 2019 FusionTitanium PHEV and have loved it verry much so i have now orderd the 2022Escape PHEV Titanium with moon roof Plus.so looking forward to it comming in. And some say speedy talk i call it product enthusiasm.
That's exciting Rob and great view on the speedy talk haha! What color Escape did you end up going with?
@@CarsWithSteve mattelic stone blue.
And thank you for the detailed explanation of the features. Ie settings .I had a remote start on my car for 3 years and didn't know it was there. I am being more proactive this time in knowing my cars capabilities, and you have delivered this spectacularly. Thank you very much.
@@robhub5951 That blue looks sharp! Glad that some people like the little details I have in the videos. Really appreciate that!
We ordered one a few months ago and hopefully it will be in end of March.
Counting down the days now! What build did you go with for yours?
@@CarsWithSteve plug in hybrid Titanium.
@@ataleofthreecabins1025 Hope you enjoy it
I currently own a 2018 Escape titanium with the 2.0 liter eco boost engine. It has some real get up and go! I’m thinking of trading this car in for a 2022 PHEV Escape titanium. Would you say it has that get up and go when you step on it? The 2022 PHEV has about 20 less horsepower than the 2018. I don’t think it would be that different, but I haven’t had a chance to test drive one yet.
Great question Bill! If you're in the 2.0L you will notice a gap in power as torque is the big difference between them. The 2.5L Atkinson hybrid is more on par with the power of the 1.5L EcoBoost engine
Take one for a spin! If a local dealer doesn't have the plugin on the lot the regular hybrid drives very close to the PHEV
Check your chips between your 2018 doors. Between front and rear doors right at the detailed raised point half way up the door. When you crack open tgecreatcdoircand close the front door at the same time the doors hit chipping your paint. I told Ford in October 2013 and they never fixed the problem. And you want to buy another Ford??
I had the understanding that with a hybrid you can’t boost anybody without causing major damage to your electronics. But you can receive a boost if needed.
I'm going to dig into this a bit more. There's nothing in the owner's manual or Ford websites anywhere that say not to do it. The manual only shows how to properly connect to the necessary terminals for jump starting
Steve did you find anything out on this?
What does the symbol with the flag, leaf and snow flake mean?
It changes you out to different drive modes
can a full size tire fit in the trunk?
You could ride around with it loosely in the cargo area or if you replaced the mini spare with a full size it would just make the cargo tray sit higher
@@CarsWithSteve thats a bummer the dealer said it should fit a full size fine. And I'd like to have a spare.
good video. can you do a short version?
What he tends to do is release the parts as standalone vids. But it’s not really shorter. What I’d recommend is that you check the time codes and just jump around to the stuff you care about if this is too long for you. He really tends to hit everything you could think of.
@@TrAnMu funny thing is I used to do tons of little clips when I first started the channel Didn't think people would still find those useful 🤔
Lol yes - and 2nd what Trav said
Don't you guys have the PHEV ST X line in Canada? She looks so much better than the Titanium
@@marlef6717 ST X Line is an outside of North America availability only. Canada and USA are only SE / SEL / Titanium trims
I ordered and then took possession of the 2021 Titanium Escape PHEV the end of September. After the first charge I got a message that the car was in Deep Sleep Mode. I took it took the dealer and they did not know why it did it but replaced the battery. No help. With every charge it went into Deep Sleep Mode. I've now owned the for 11 weeks and the dealer has had it 5 of those weeks. Ford has involved their field engineers and they have isolated it to a parasitic draw in the brake system. They traced it to a battery junction box and replaced that this week. They thought the problem was solved but a few hours later it was again getting an intermittent electrical draw and the engineers are continuing the search. I'm now seeing other people talking about having this message. I wonder if we will find at some point that there will be a recall on these cars?
Appreciate the owner feedback Diane. Deep Sleep Mode normally should only happen if the vehicle sits idle for too long, battery voltage drops below 9.5V or if your vehicle is subject to extreme temps
I've looked through some forums and there are a few people having deep sleep issues with different brands as well. Once the issue with yours gets figured out I'd be curious what the fix was
@@CarsWithSteve I'll keep you posted. It's been a long, frustrating process to date, but the dealer has been great keeping me in the loop.
Same issue with my 21 aviator GT. Pls let us know the progress
@@robbietwg I talked to the dealer today and they don't know what day next week theses engineers are coming back. Hopefully it will be early in the week! I'll post as I get more info.
Update: Dec 2 Unbelievably my Ford Dealer changed ownership and I had to return the loaner car. The Ford Field Service Engineers were there for the entire week. On Dec 8 the service manager called and said that they wanted to drain the battery totally so he wanted permission for an employee to drive the car home for the night. The next day and 87 miles later the car was returned with an empty battery. Tests are continuing. At 2:45 I'm called and told they have a loaner for me. 3:15 we arrive to pick up loaner and the manager tells me I can take MY car home. I'm confused. He tells me there is nothing wrong with the car. It's a problem with the FORD PASS app. They are working to remove the DEEP SLEEP MODE message. I say to him that I don't understand. He knows there is a parasitic draw and that these engineers confirmed it. He shrugs his shoulders and hands me the keys.
Now what?
When I reverse to park it is really hard, cause the brake is so insensitive and it is grabby. When I release just a bit it sounds awful and if I releas just a pinch more ghe car goes to fast and I have to apply brakes hard. Very harsh and to sensitive between slow and fast. Brakes creek and squeekes. Very irritating and makes it hard to park.
Have you brought that issue up to the dealer? Could be something up with the brakes
@@CarsWithSteve I have now. Thx:)
@@nissetuta good to hear! If you remember.. try to circle back when the dealership diagnoses the problem in case someone else runs into the same thing
@@CarsWithSteve They said the brakes work perfectly and could'nt replicate. It is still hard to precicion reverse and still is noicy. But brakes work fine otherwise and they have tested so I can live with that:).
@@nissetuta glad the brakes are working, hopefully with a bit more use it starts to sound a bit better for you. Thanks for circling back to update!
Ford built the 2013 Escapes - 2019 with the doors hitting. I told them in October 2012 of this problem and they never addressed the problem by making a simple change in the robot installing doors. A simple reprogramming to increase the separation between the front and rear doors by a few millimetres. I moved both of my rear doors rearward by a few millimetres myself so the doors would not hit. My 4 doors were both painted twice each. 4 different paint jobs because the door’s continued to hit. They never fixed the problem… I did???
That's pretty wild! Were you working at the assembly plant at the time or just a sharp eye consumer?
@@CarsWithSteve Hi Steve These wheel weeks without skirting has bothered me for years. Do you know manufacturers skirted from well before but not back. This has bothered me for years. Do you know it was rear wheel wells that were rusting and not fronts because skirting and protective edging was keeping moisture/ salt from getting behind the metal. Once you get dirt behind it is hard to clean therefore an area to rust much faster. I had messaged manufacturers to skirt the rears like the front and now some do. I am a Virgo and huge in design and detail. Self taught. Analytical but practical.
@@tmic4790 Thanks for the explainer on the rusting wells, always wondered how one always seems to rust faster than the other. Hopefully manufacturers read these types of comments and take it into account
Steve have to say your build is different than mine, under Ford build for 2022 plugin titanium escape the titanium package for 1895 is the same as 2021 model for 2300, have brought this attention to Ford, and waiting for a answer if they will honor this package, if not taken this to small claims for 1500., the difference the sun roof.
Ford split up the package for the 2022 model year and made the sunroof a standalone option. Manufacturers make changes from one model year to the next all the time. My new iPhone didn't come with a charger
But your best bet is to chat with a local dealer or two and work on negotiating a better price for a factory order or an available in stock unit. Ask for rebates or discounts such as X Plan pricing (check with your/your spouses employer), veteran, student etc
@@CarsWithSteve Steve I would agree but check out the build on the 2022 escape plug in you’ll see I’m right, by the way very informative video that’s were I got the description from wish I could send you the screen shot of the package being offered
@@rdk005dk I did notice that had that typo on the Ford USA website. As per the order guide it's not included so just an oversight from their web developer
You won't be seeing that 37 mi ev range in cool/cold temps.....maybe 27 mi.
Owner feedback is always nice! What trim of the Escape do you have?
If it was AWD I would have bought it
Not in the plugin hybrid but you can get the regular hybrid in AWD!
@@CarsWithSteve I know but that beats the point. Only way I would have bought a Ford was if they provided AWD in PHEV coz it’s so cheap compare to competitors. Regular hybrid I got thousand options. Ford failed themselves here. They could have captured a segment of the market by cheap PHEV. They r stupid of course
@@Ravi9357128438 There's a reason why they haven't released an AWD version of the PHEV.. the tech isn't there yet. Bigger shift to EV over the next few years so there should be more AWD drive EV/PHEV options announced over the next few years
Don't speak so fast please. 🙂
Oy and here I thought I has slowed way down. You should listen to one of my videos from last year
@@CarsWithSteve Yes, I agree, you have already slowed down a bit. I would raise my listening speed. 😊
@@matthewlkf2000 So crazy when I listen to my first videos compared to now. But it's suggestions like slowing down that are helping!
