5 Impressive Features of the 2023 Ford Escape

The 2023 Ford Escape is a compact SUV that the whole family is bound to love, thanks to a spacious cabin, practical features, and excellent fuel economy. This year, the Escape has had an exterior upgrade to look bolder and more imposing on the road, plus exciting new infotainment technology.

1. A Roomy Cabin

The Escape's interior is spacious and airy, comfortably seating up to five people. Both rows of seats offer plenty of leg and headroom and are nicely padded for maximum support. There's 37.5 cubic feet of cargo room available behind the rear seats, or you can fold those down for an outstanding 65.4 cubic feet of space, which is a lot for a subcompact SUV.

2. Formidable Engine Options, Including Hybrids

Three engines are available with the Escape. The first is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost making 181 horsepower designed to reduce fuel consumption, especially as you stop and start through the city, while a 2.0-liter EcoBoost makes 250 horsepower. Both mate with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Two hybrids, one of which is a plug-in, are available to further reduce emissions. They both pair a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors to make 210 horsepower.

3. Save Your Pennies With Good Fuel Economy

The Escape gets good fuel economy for a subcompact SUV, which is a relief for both you and your wallet. Enjoy 27 miles per gallon in the city or a superb 34 miles per gallon on the highway when you opt for front-wheel drive and the 1.5-liter engine. The plug-in hybrid model, which carries a 10.7-kWh battery pack, can get you an estimated 37 miles of electric-only driving before switching to the gas engine.

4. Safety Features for Peace of Mind

A host of safety features come standard with this year's Escape, so you can relax as you take your family on the road. The suite includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, pedestrian detection, automatic high-beam headlights, rear cross-traffic alert, driver-attention monitoring, and forward automatic emergency braking. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the car the highest rating of Good in its six original crash tests.

5. Useful Tech at Your Fingertips

Ford's infotainment system is responsive and boasts crisp graphics. An 8-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, and two USB ports come standard, while features like wireless device charging, satellite radio, voice recognition, and a 13.2-inch touchscreen are up for grabs. We think you'll particularly love the available 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system that'll have you blasting your family's favorite tracks on the drive to school. It's official: this year's Escape is a car for the whole family.
