About the Ford Escape
An excellent choice for individuals living active lifestyles, the adventurous Ford Escape is packed with technology and style that will help you create lasting memories. Perfect for your next weekend road trip, this SUV offers a sizable 60.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity made possible by standard 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks. In addition, you’ll have your choice of two capable engine options - a 1.5L or a 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, optimized for greater fuel economy or greater horsepower and torque respectively.
For enhanced control and capability, you can also opt for available Intelligent AWD that can help you navigate slippery situations. Boosting efficiency, Auto Start-Stop Technology can maximize your MPG so you can spend less time at the pump. Upscale features available inside the Escape include premium leather upholstery and a Bang & Olufsen 10-speaker Sound System. Since even the most experienced drivers can use a helping hand from time to time, every Escape comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistive safety technologies that can respond to a dangerous situation and protect you from the unexpected.
What the Critics Say
| "Overall, we're happy with the level of comfort the Escape offers. The front seats are well shaped and have a pleasing amount of cushioning. The rear seats are also comfortable and provide a suitable amount of thigh support for adults. Around town and on the highway, the Escape rides in a smooth and composed manner. It's also fairly quiet at speed, with road noise the prevailing source of sound intrusion." — Edmunds | "The Ford Escape has a long history as a trusted SUV. The Escape has the virtues you’d expect from a modern compact SUV, like a roomy interior and good fuel economy. Still, it has a few unique characteristics setting it apart, like sliding second-row seats and four powertrain options. With two turbo engines, two hybrid options, and various trim levels, there’s a Ford Escape for almost anyone who needs a practical, small SUV." — Kelley Blue Book |
Ford Escape Features
Enhanced Performance and Style
Shoppers can choose from two impressive powertrain choices on the Ford Escape. Included as standard is a proven 1.5L EcoBoost® engine with 181 horsepower and exceptional fuel efficiency. Upgrade to the ST-Line Select, Platinum, or ST-Line Elite trims to receive an upgraded 250-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost® that delivers even more muscle without sacrificing on efficiency. Both engines come paired with a responsive 8-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission along with Auto Stop-Start Technology to maximize your MPG.
Adding a touch of functional style to the front fascia of the Escape is LED signature lighting, boosting visibility in low-light conditions. For even greater capability, the Escape is available with an available Intelligent AWD system for maximum control in slippery situations. When properly equipped, the Ford Escape can even tow up to a maximum of 3,500 pounds - great for bringing your largest toys along for the next adventure.
Comfortable Interior
From the instant you take a seat behind the wheel of the Ford Escape, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a sense of spaciousness and premium comfort amenities. For example, a touch of a button is all you need to open the available Panoramic Vista Roof® to fill the cabin with fresh air and natural lighting. Standard 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks provide the versatility you need to carry cargo, passengers, and even a combination of both. Choose between 7 individual colors of ambient interior lighting to personalize the mood inside the cabin of your Escape. There’s even an available heated leather-wrapped steering wheel to help you stay comfortable on colder mornings.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Technology and connectivity are two additional advantages that come from choosing the Ford Escape over the competition. No matter how far your travels take you, standard SYNC® 4 offers intuitive voice-activated technology via a standard 8-inch color touchscreen or an available 13.2-inch touchscreen. Standard FordPass Connect™ provides Wi-Fi® Hotspot connectivity while also giving you the ability to unlock your Escape remotely, check fuel prices, get important vehicle information, and even find a parking spot.
Opt for the available Head-Up Display to enjoy a clear view of important drive information on a 6-inch widescreen near the driver’s side windshield without taking your eyes off the road. Drivers can also access drive modes designed to add more ability for various different terrains. An optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster gives you an even better view of which drive mode is engaged. These four modes include:
- Normal - For daily drives
- Slippery - Maximizing traction on slippery terrain
- Sport - Enhancing responsive shifting/handling and improving throttle
- Eco - For better fuel economy
Groundbreaking Driver Assistance Technology
Engineered to keep you ready to respond to the unexpected on the road, every Ford Escape comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 - a cutting-edge collection of active driver-assist technologies. Auto High-Beam Headlamps and Rear-View Camera are included as standard to add a second layer of defense against accidents or collisions. Other available driver-assistive features include Enhanced Active Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support, and BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert. A total of 7 standard airbags surround occupants along with a Personal Safety System™ for the driver and front passenger.
