The 2021 Ford Escape SEL: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Ford Escape SEL for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2021 Ford Escape SEL for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
The 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.09 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the Escape
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Who rents the Escape
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
A longer test drive
Rent the Escape first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Escape answers the big questions.
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 $12.09 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the SEL with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
One more step
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
