Because I also have heard there are problems with 2.7 I think. At once I thought about the Edge Sport but that would probably be a major overkill in terms of comfort. I guess I'm still kinda waiting to see the reveal of the Terrain, but like the equinox I'm kinda worried on how many gallon of the tank are they going to put on the Terrain as the new Equinox does have a smaller tank than before. But another question I want to ask is compare to your Escape and the Envision, which 2.0T you think is stronger?vic1212, I have a 2016 Envision Premium II w/Driver Confidence Pkg, bought new in Aug '16, now with 6,200 mile on it. The DCP offers adaptive cruise control, surround camera, and front auto braking (not just an alert). For me well worth the optional charge. The ACC works perfectly, and I use it a lot even on local freeway driving in the DFW area. Premium II is required for the DCP. It adds, vs Premium I, standard NAV, Heads-up Display (also perfect), driver seat adjustable thigh support, ventilated/cooled front seats (they are really cooled, even without A/C operating), and HID/articulating/auto high beam headlights.
FYI...there is a new Terrain being announce at the Detroit Auto Show this month. Based on the Envision and new Equinox frame/engines.
Feel free to ask any questions...FYI we also own a 2015 Ford Escape with the 2.0 turbo engine...similar to the Edge, but now their 2.0 has been improved. My understanding the only problem Ford had was with earlier, small turbo engine (1.6) in the Escape.

Is yours the Titanium or?I think the Envision and Escape 2.0Ts are almost identical power wise. The difference is the Envision is quieter and smoother, and the Envision 6-speed is better...shifts smoother/quicker. The Envision does weigh more, it being a Buick and also AWD...my Escape is FWD. In a drag race the Escape may be quicker, but not that much. Also the MPG for both seems to be equal, maybe 1 MPG better for the Envision (both using 87 octane regular)...so the Buick is more efficient, it being heavier and AWD. The Buick ride is superior, maybe the Escape feels more nimble; it's about 350 lbs. lighter. I much prefer driving the Buick....more comfortable seats, and more options.
Yes, Titanium, 2015 model. Before the Envision I did drive the Edge. Didn't think the 3.5L V-6 was worth it as the Edge 2.0L drove great. Drove the Edge Sport 2.7L, and it was very fast. Then the Envision came out, and I preferred the ride and quietness and upscale feel....plus it has a good balance of options & AWD power/economy. The Escape/Edge do have more clear rear cameras. My '16 Envision needed the TSB update mentioned elsewhere in the Forum to get the light display for the NAV to adjust properly for external light changes.Is yours the Titanium or?
mind if I ask if your Escape have the rear air vents? I was thinking about the Edge Sport but all they have are black interiorYes, Titanium, 2015 model. Before the Envision I did drive the Edge.

Yes, the Escape does have rear vents, at the back end of the console. But they do not have any fan or temp control like the Envision. Just free-flow air from the front system. Not that effective in the summer. Envision's system is much better. I think the Edge is the same as the Escape in this regard.mind if I ask if your Escape have the rear air vents?

17.3 gallon tank. 380+/- mile range. I have never tested that...always added fuel when at least 1/4 left in tank.It's dual zone and free flow just like the escape. I had to ask ford online to see if it does have it and even recommend them to have it next time since the Murano and Envision have it. Just didn't want the Murano because the suspension was rough on bumps. As for the Envision, how big of a gas tank is it and how many miles can it go on one tank?
