2022 Ford Escape ST-Line X EcoBoost - a practical and well-equipped SUV that’s been a great vehicle to own. I’m the first owner of this NZ new example, and it’s been well looked after.

It has the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine paired with an auto, which I’ve found easy to drive both around town and on longer trips. The 4WD system adds confidence in different conditions, making it good for various driving situations.

The cabin is spacious with 5 seats and plenty of room for passengers and gear. Being the ST-Line X, it comes well-specified with features like a reversing camera which helps with parking, and an alarm for added security. A tow bar is fitted, which has been very useful. The vehicle is in great condition overall and has been reliable throughout my ownership.

If you’re after a capable SUV that ticks a lot of boxes - space, features, and versatility - this could be worth a look.
