Ford Escape

The Ford Escape is engineered to fit your on-the-go lifestyle, from its versatile seating and cargo combinations to its ample performance. Engine options include a 2.5L I-4 with intake variable cam design, a 1.5L turbocharged EcoBoost® engine or a 2.0L twin-scroll EcoBoost rated at 245 horsepower. Handling control comes courtesy of standard AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control,™ Curve Control and Torque Vectoring Control. For added traction, there’s the available Intelligent 4-Wheel-Drive System. And if you need to tow, the available 2.0L EcoBoost Class II Trailer Tow Package provides a maximum tow rating of up to 3,500 lbs.

The available Intelligent 4WD System continuously monitors traction and road conditions every 16 milliseconds. It can transfer torque from front wheels to rear wheels as needed to ensure a precise blend of handling and traction at all times.

Escape boasts a number of available driver-assist features that make getting wherever easy, effortless and enjoyable. From available SYNC® 3 and Ford+Alexa to FordPass™ Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot,* next-level technology offerings make Escape one smart SUV. For added confidence on the road, you’ll appreciate the Ford Safe and Smart™ Package, BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, Lane-Keeping System, adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with brake support, and enhanced active park assist.

The Ford Safe and Smart™ Package includes BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert. This feature uses radar to identify a vehicle detected in your blind spot and alerts you with an indicator light in the appropriate exterior mirror. Cross-traffic alert also uses radar to detect a vehicle passing behind when you’re slowly backing out of a driveway or parking place, but only when a trailer is not connected to the vehicle. If crosstraffic sensors detect a vehicle approaching from up to 15 yards away, you will be audibly and visually alerted.

The Ford Safe and Smart™ Package includes adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with brake support. You can select the speed and distance you want to maintain from the vehicle in front of you. When traffic ahead slows down, your vehicle automatically slows down, and later resumes the preset speed when traffic clears. Forward collision warning with brake support can alert you to a potential collision with the vehicle ahead. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will precharge and increase sensitivity, providing full responsiveness when you do brake.

Escape was designed to make your everyday treks easy, featuring a host of smart offerings like available Intelligent Access with push-button start. Want to carry lots of cargo? No problem. The rear seats fold to provide up to 68 cu. ft. of cargo capacity. Accessing the rear of the vehicle is also a breeze, thanks to an available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate. Escape even provides a little help when backing up, thanks to the standard rear view camera and available Reverse Sensing System.

Thanks to the available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate, there’s no need to fumble for keys. Its hands-free operation is especially helpful when your arms are full of items like grocery bags. With the Intelligent Access key in your pocket or purse, kick your foot under the bumper and the liftgate opens. You can also adjust the liftgate height, helpful for lower overhangs. Standard on Titanium model.
