If you're searching for a 2019 Ford Escape SEL Sport Utility 4D for sale in Detroit, MI, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales has this capable, feature-loaded SUV ready for a test drive — combining all-wheel confidence, turbocharged efficiency, and a well-appointed interior at a price point that makes sense for Michigan buyers.

About This 2019 Ford Escape SEL

At 76,216 miles, this 2019 Ford Escape SEL sits squarely in the sweet spot for used SUV buyers. That mileage is entirely reasonable for a vehicle of this age — Ford Escapes are well-documented for cruising well past 150,000 miles with proper maintenance, meaning there's plenty of life left in this one. The SEL trim puts this Escape above the base and SE grades, delivering a noticeably more refined ownership experience without the premium price tag of a brand-new crossover.

2019 Ford Escape Performance and Engine

EcoBoost Power Meets Everyday Practicality

Under the hood, this Escape is powered by Ford's 1.5-Liter 4-Cylinder EcoBoost turbocharged engine — a unit that punches well above its displacement. The turbo delivers strong low-end torque that makes merging onto I-75, navigating Detroit's Lodge Freeway, or accelerating out of tight city intersections feel effortless. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission featuring SelectShift, drivers can take manual control of gear changes when they want a more engaged driving experience.

The 4WD drivetrain is a genuine asset for Michigan ownership. Whether you're dealing with early snowfall in November, slushy roads through January and February, or wet spring conditions, having true four-wheel drive adds meaningful traction and security.

Ford Escape SEL Features and Interior

What the SEL Trim Delivers

The SEL grade is where the Escape's interior starts to feel genuinely premium. Expect upgraded technology features, enhanced connectivity options, and comfort-focused amenities that make daily commutes and longer road trips more enjoyable. The cabin is well-designed for a crossover in this class — practical, easy to navigate, and spacious enough for families and active lifestyles alike.

Ford's SYNC infotainment system keeps drivers connected, and the Escape's cargo area offers flexible space for grocery runs, weekend gear, or whatever Detroit life demands.

Ford Escape Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

The 2019 Ford Escape has earned a solid reputation among owners who prioritize value and versatility. The EcoBoost 1.5-Liter engine, while occasionally noted for requiring attentive maintenance, performs reliably when serviced on schedule — particularly with regular oil changes and coolant system checks. The sixth-generation Escape generation received favorable reviews for its refined ride quality and well-balanced handling compared to earlier models.

Owners consistently praise the comfortable driving position, intuitive controls, and the confidence the 4WD system provides during harsh Michigan winters. At this mileage and model year, a pre-purchase inspection is always wise, but this generation Escape is widely considered a dependable used buy.
