Few SUVs offer sporty, thrill-seeking performance with impressive fuel efficiency, yet the 2024 Ford Escape does so while providing innovative technology and sophisticated interior comforts throughout its cabin, making it a rare find that offers all of the following highlights.
Fuel-Efficient Performance
Along with available all-wheel drive, four engines are offered for this edition, with a 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine that boasts an EPA-estimated 30 MPG in combined city/highway mileage serving as the base engine. The second engine is a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, while the other two engines are both hybrids, with the first being a 192-horsepower 2.5-liter that gets up to 39 MPG and the other a plug-in variant of the same engine that gets up to 101 MPGe.
First-Class Cabin Amenities
The 2024 Escape's cabin comes with dual-zone climate control, a premium-wrapped steering wheel, a stylish rotary gear shift dial, and power windows, as well as a sliding 60/40 split-folding rear seat that folds down to provide up to 65.4 cubic feet of total cargo space. Power-adjustable front seats with a heating setting are available, and depending on the trim level, ActiveX, leather, and cloth are all offered as seating materials.
An Adventure-Ready Design
The vehicle's exterior design is a blend of style and convenience, with a power liftgate coming standard alongside a sporty-looking rear spoiler and dual chrome exhaust tips. You can also opt for a power sunroof, cargo boxes and bike racks can be attached to the roof-rack side rails that come on select models, and heated side mirrors and rain-sensitive wipers are available for tackling different weather conditions.
Next-Level Tech Throughout
Long drives are made more enjoyable for everyone with all the innovative tech found in this SUV, which includes the standard SYNC 4 infotainment system, which combines hands-free calling with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability and other functions. This system works seamlessly with the available 10-speaker B&O audio system, while the standard FordPass Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot takes convenience to the next level. There's also an available 360-degree camera system that offers split-view visuals.
Innovative Safety Features
When it comes to safety, innovation can be found in all of the many driver-assist features this edition offers, including standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping System, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and the Rear View Camera. Optional highlights include rear parking sensors, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering and Speed Sign Recognition, and Evasive Steering Assist, among others.
