The 2024 Ford Escape is a compact SUV designed for comfortable daily driving. This innovative vehicle comes with impressive infotainment technology, a great EcoBoost engine, and impressive cargo space. Check out our guide below to learn more about its excellent features.

The Peppy Performance

The entry-level Active trim comes with an excellent 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine with automatic start-stop technology. This is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth handling. With the standard front-wheel drive, your modern compact SUV will average 27 miles to the gallon in the city and achieve 34 miles to the gallon on the highway.

The Plug-In Hybrid

The available plug-in hybrid trim comes with an excellent 2.5-liter iVCT system with an I-4 engine. With this option, the Escape averages 42 miles to the gallon in the city, and achieves 36 miles to the gallon on the highway.

The Impressive Cargo Space

A standard power liftgate smoothly opens to access 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats. The sliding second row can be folded down with the press of a lever. This creates a total of 65.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume behind the first-row seats.

The Comfortable Driver’s Seat

The Escape’s front row includes heated seats, so you can immediately get comfortable as you escape one of Portland’s many rainy days. In the driver’s seat, you’ll have eight-way power-adjustable settings so you can get as comfortable as possible behind the wheel. Additionally, the driver will have an eight-inch color LCD instrument cluster, a premium-wrapped steering wheel, and a rotary gear shift dial.

The Fun Infotainment

The Escape is a modern vehicle with cutting-edge technology, especially in the new infotainment system accessed through your eight-inch LCD touchscreen with SYNC4. The system comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, so connecting your smartphone is a breeze. Additional fun features include SiriusXM with 360L, FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, and a six-speaker sound system.

Ford offers plenty of available upgrades as well, including an impressive 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen. Additionally, you can add connected navigation, or a 10-speaker sound system from B&O.
