The Ford Escape Platinum is a great crossover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- The Ford Escape got an upgrade for the 2023 model year, with minimal changes to the 2024 model. It features front wheel or all wheel drive, seating for 5 and four different powertrains. Some options you're going to find in the new Escape are the all new 13.2" Sync4 media screen, redesigned cluster and available 360 camera (which is brand new to the Escape lineup).
In this video you're going to learn the basics of the new Ford Escape Platinum. I cover off the difference in trim levels and walk through standard and available technology outside and inside this ride.

Great review. Thank you Steve!
Thanks Daniel!
Just Bought one in Nov brand new love it and its fast!!
Only thing didnt like is i got the silver with black wheels interior is great but has red stitching ??
These things definitely can haul! Guessing you went with the 2.0L? Hmm.. was it the ST-Line you went for or the Platinum trim?
Fantastic review---very though!
Thanks Freddie!
hi Steve! Another great video, I appreciate how thorough you are with your reviews! Could I ask you a question? What is the difference between the 2023 platinum vs 2024 platinum? If I found a 2023 platinum optioned out how I wanted (vapor blue, add the roof, add prem tech package) and it was cheaper bc it’s a last year model year, would I be missing out on anything in the 2024 version? I can’t really find differences beyond the keypad entry (which I like) and 3 year vs 1 year connected nav. Thanks so much for your insights! I’ve watched your videos a zillion times lol!
Thanks Susanne! You're pretty much bang on with the differences. If you have a 2023 you're actually in a better spot for the navigation because it's a connected built in navigation with 3 years of service vs the 2024 which is just connected navigation with 1 year. After the 2023 model has its 3 years run out it defaults to a traditional GPS if you don't continue the connected services while the 2024 needs a subscription to keep working or it reverts to a dead moving map with no destination input available after the 1st year
@@CarsWithSteve Thank you, Steve! I've started my search now for the 2023 :)
you're welcome! Good luck with the car shopping.. hopefully you're able to snag a good deal
Outstanding video! I'm curious how large the phone charging pad is. What size is the phone you used for the demo? THANKS!
Thanks! The iPhone I use is the 14 Pro, but there was enough space that it could fit a Pro Max and Samsung Ultra on it
@@CarsWithSteve Thanks! I've got a Samsung Ultra and am glad it will fit. Again, thanks for the expertise.
You're welcome!
How did you do that instrument cluster, ours has a different one and we have a 2023 too? That one looks different? Just curious.
There are 2 different clusters in the Escape. The lower trims have a smaller 8" digital standard with this available 12.3" digital standard in the higher trims and available as an add on tech/premium package in others
No, I'm talking about the layout on the screen like the speed and rpm circles, ours doesn't look like that?
Oh! It’s adjusted through the cluster screen. This video covers it: m.ua-cam.com/video/vAMl4DZSegY/v-deo.html
Do you know if there’s a way to save a drive mode after selecting it? If I put the car into Eco, when I turn the car off and restart it seems to default back to normal.
It’ll always default back to normal when the vehicle is turned off. Would be convenient to be able to save it though! Message Ford Canada/USA about it, saying it’s a feature you want to see
I bought Ford escape 2017 s for 15000 in canada is it good deal ?

Hi! Turning signal in the back is LED or not? I dont like a car who has all loghts LED and the turning signal in the back its just a normal one
They are LED we have on irl all trims have all LED lights
Beat me to it @dogcrafty ;)
yw lol, less on your plate when I got one irl i can check things on lol
How are you liking the new Escape so far?
@@CarsWithSteve loving it
he looks like Tom Cruise 🥰
Thank you 🙏
No ventilated seats available and the rotary shift are complete deal breakers.
The rotary dial shifter is actually pretty good, especially with it shifting right to park after you turn the car off. I'm really surprised that Ford hasn't opened up ventilated seats to the Escape lineup yet. Hopefully in the next gen
@CarsWithSteve I'm sure the rotary shift works just fine lol. I'm just someone who prefers the aesthetic of a "proper" shifter.

$15k for an S trim level is pretty fair market price, few thousand under where it was last year
@@CarsWithSteve from my known dealer.
@@CarsWithSteve tell me one thing honestly
I wanted to update sync system for apple car play do you have any options for this modal ?
You can definitely upgrade the system. There are different kits available but you're probably looking between $500 and $1,000 to do it
