The 2025 Ford Escape does a great job of providing drivers with a compact SUV that’s comfortable, well-rounded, and stylish. With multiple powertrain options, lots of safety-enhancing driver assistance features, and spaciousness that’s great for traveling with luggage and keeping passengers feeling good, this is a vehicle you’ll want to take out on the road.

1. To Try Out Its Powertrains

There’s a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine standard in the Escape, and it delivers a relaxed ride that’ll satisfy the average driver. Thrill-seekers will likely prefer the 250-hp turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder engine. It has quicker acceleration than the standard engine and makes the vehicle feel more athletic. It’s only available in all-wheel-drive models, so the vehicle’s boost in power is accompanied by a little more traction than front-wheel-drive models have got.

2. To Check Out Its Driver Assistance Features

Hopefully, you won’t need features like the Pre-Collision Assist System or Driver Alert during a test drive. However, you can try out other driver assistance features while testing the vehicle.

The Blind Spot Information System will let you know if it’s safe for you to change lanes, as it tells you if there’s a vehicle in your blind spot. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert will let you know if there’s a car approaching while you’re backing up. Seeing these two features in use should give you an idea of how many of the other driver assistance features work when activated.

3. To Feel Its Spacious Cabin

There’s a ton of space in the Escape. Folding down the rear row gives you 65.4 cubic feet of space for cargo. The driver and passengers are also comfortably accommodated with 42.4 inches of legroom in the front and 40.7 inches of legroom in the back. Getting behind the wheel allows you to feel just how much legroom there is and how comfortable you’ll be while driving this spacious vehicle.

4. To Try Out the Adjustable Seating

Once you get into the driver’s seat, you can move it in six directions in the base trim and eight or 10 directions in higher trims. Spend a little time getting the seat into the perfect position, then you can test drive the car to enjoy how comfortable the chair is while driving.

Come try out the Ford Escape at Courtesy Ford in Altoona, PA. You can contact our sales team at 800-694-7809 with any queries you have about the car.
