If you're looking to upgrade your daily driver with something more spacious and versatile, but don't want the extra space requirements of an SUV, the Ford Escape is an excellent pick. Fully redesigned for the 2020 model year, this sporty compact crossover features a sleek new style, a more refined interior, and a generous helping of standard and available features. Escape is roomy and accommodating while maintaining a convenient and maneuverable physical footprint. Here are a few of the Ford Escapes stand-out attributes.
Versatility
Escape offers comfortable seating for up to five passengers, with plenty of room for adults in the outboard positions. The second-row can slide forward to provide 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space while retaining all seatbelts. Or you can slide it back to give rear occupants almost 41 inches of legroom. With the rear seats folded, cargo space expands to 65.4 cubic feet.
Efficient Performance
The Escape's standard turbocharged 1.5-liter engine provides ample motivation, generated 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. It also features cylinder-deactivation technology for improved efficiency.
SE Sport and Titanium trim levels equip a 200-horsepower 2.5-liter hybrid engine that achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 44 mpg city and 47 mpg highway. Or if you're looking for even more thrust, SEL and Titanium models can equip an available turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque.
Standard Safety Features
Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies comes standard on every Escape. These features ensure a safer ride by detecting and helping to avoid hazards:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Escape offers available additional driver aids, including Evasive Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and an automated parking system.
