2012 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic FWD
It's a tad bit tight in the drivers seat. I have to postion the seat just right to avoid hitting my right knee on the center console, and I frequently hit the light switch when getting out. I'm only 5'9", so not that large of a person. see full Ford Escape review
