Thinking of buying the 2014 Ford Escape?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2014 Ford Escape for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2014 Ford Escape before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 16 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 9.2 L/100 km: about 28 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $42.78 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Escape for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Escape answers more than any brochure. Rent the Escape first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $142.60 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2014 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
