Ford Escape
Rarely does a vehicle show more mechanical versatility than the Ford Escape! You have a choice between two and four-wheel drive, and between a 4 cylinder, V6 or hybrid version. Though the 3.0-litre V6 engine is not as interesting as it could be, the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine is well adapted to the vehicle. And while it isn’t the most popular version, the hybrid Escape, which is the star attraction of the line, considerably reduces fuel consumption. The Escape offers competitive prices.
