After the last model, you get to see some upgrades with the suspension and the engine. The 2009 Ford Escape is of just the right size, giving you advantages of both a compact vehicle and an SUV. This model from the US automotive giant was once the most purchased American compact-SUV. This year’s upgrade includes automatic transmission and a more powerful and eco-friendly engine, and for a smooth ride, a refined suspension system.
A 2.5-liter engine (four-cylinder) gives the SUV its 171 horsepower. There is a top end variant that comes with a 3.0-lliter, 240 horsepower engine, making it more powerful. You can go for either the six-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The fuel economy is 23 mpg and 28 mpg respectively. There is also a four-wheel drive model available, with mechanical assembly. This makes the system safer, as electric motors that control rear wheel drives might fail in certain circumstances.
Having a powerful engine means topping up to high speeds. In the tests and reviews, the car is very quick. Although the gearshifts are not that smooth, the car reaches from zero to sixty mph in 8.1 second. However, One might find the engine sound to be loud, instead of being “sporty loud”. The ground clearance measures at 8.5 inches, which is good for driving in dirt, or gravel roads.
