2017 Ford Escape Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Escape S runs on a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability. The SelectShift feature lets drivers manually control gear changes when desired, adding a layer of engagement to everyday driving. The 2.5-liter engine delivers a rated 168 horsepower and is known for its straightforward, low-maintenance character compared to the turbocharged EcoBoost options in the Escape lineup. For daily commutes across Wayne County, highway driving to Detroit or Ann Arbor, or weekend errands, this powertrain is smooth, predictable, and fuel-efficient — typically returning around 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Front-wheel drive keeps the vehicle light and efficient, and it handles Michigan roads with confidence through the seasons.
 

Ford Escape S Features and Interior

Comfort and Convenience

The 2017 Escape S trim delivers a clean, functional interior focused on comfort and everyday usability. You'll find seating for five passengers, a well-designed dashboard layout, and Ford's intuitive SYNC infotainment system. Bluetooth connectivity, USB inputs, and auxiliary audio make it easy to stay connected on the road. The cargo area behind the rear seats offers practical space for grocery runs, sports gear, or weekend luggage — one of the Escape's strongest selling points over comparable compact sedans.
 

Safety Technology

The 2017 Ford Escape comes equipped with a full suite of standard safety features including stability control, traction control, multiple airbags, and Ford's AdvanceTrac system. For a used SUV in this price range, the safety architecture on this Escape is genuinely solid, earning strong crash test ratings from both NHTSA and IIHS during its model year.
 

Ford Escape Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Ford Escape has earned a reputation as one of the more dependable compact SUVs in its class, particularly in naturally aspirated 2.5-liter configuration. The non-turbocharged engine avoids the turbo-specific maintenance concerns that occasionally affect higher trim EcoBoost versions, making it a smarter long-term ownership choice for high-mileage buyers. Routine maintenance — oil changes, brake service, and tire rotations — are straightforward and affordable. Owners consistently praise the Escape for its comfortable ride quality, practical cargo room, and low cost of ownership over time. With proper care, these vehicles routinely push well past 150,000 to 200,000 miles.
