Thinking of buying the 2023 Ford Escape Platinum?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2023 Ford Escape Platinum for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2023 Ford Escape Platinum in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Escape

Owners filed 138 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

Power comes from the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo, driving through an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 7.9 L/100 km rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.25 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Who the Escape suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

A longer test drive

Rent the Escape for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
