Buying the 2021 Ford Escape Titanium

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Ford Escape Titanium; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2021 Ford Escape Titanium, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

What to check on the Escape

NHTSA has 496 owner complaints on file, mostly about structure, engine and unknown or other. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 21 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The numbers in plain words

Its powertrain is 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.

The EPA rates it at 7.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.09, and a 300 km weekend about $36.27. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

The Escape in everyday use

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

Who rents the Escape

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Escape answers the big questions. Rent the Escape for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
