We have a small fleet of Escape hybrids at work. They're generally dependable and functional, but not very exciting to drive.
We also have a few non-hybrid escapes, and switching back to one of those is kind of a surprise, like it feels too light and fragile by comparison. The hybrids seem fine when you're driving them, but then switching back to the pure ICE version feels kind of like driving a twitchy sportscar. Except, you know, it's still a mid sized SUV.
The cargo capacity is pretty good even with the back seats occupied. We haven't had any significant maintenance issues on any of them, so I suspect reliability is pretty good. They're a little bit taller than most mid-sized SUVs I've driven, including the Odyssey.
When we first got them they were supposed to be "road cars" only, meaning we weren't supposed to take them off-roading for field work. That went out the window in a hurry, and they get just as abused as our other cars now, with no apparent ill effect.
