The Infinite Blue and '22 grill look better in person. We just rented an Escape with Sync 4 on vacation last week and got a bit used to the functionality. Android Auto & Alexa integration are great, and it drives very well for its size. We're coming from a '20 Honda Pilot, which is on the small side for weeklong ski/bike vacations with family and friends. The bumper hitch cover lasted exactly one removal/reinstallation before a plastic tab snapped.
My biggest near term challenge will be getting time behind the wheel when the primary driver isn't doing so
