The 2023 Ford Escape ST-Line Select: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2023 Ford Escape ST-Line Select; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2023 Ford Escape ST-Line Select, here are the facts that matter.

Recalls and complaints

There are 13 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 138 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and power train. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

The figures, translated

It is powered by the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. 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. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.25, and a 300 km weekend about $36.75. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Escape

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Who it is for

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

If the Escape is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Compare the ST-Line Select with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
