Eco-friendliness? Check. Attractive design? Check. A range of comfort and convenience features? Check. The 2024 Ford Escape is hitting all of its marks when it comes to being a desirable vehicle, and it’s one that you’ll definitely love to explore.
Eco-Friendly Options
There are four engines available for the Ford Escape, and two of them are sturdy hybrid power trains that are great for the environment and help you save money on gas. The combustion engine options are a 1.5-liter EcoBoost and a 2-liter EcoBoost, and the hybrid options are a 2.5-liter hybrid I-4 that produces 192 hp and a 2.5-liter I-4 plug-in hybrid that’s a little stronger and produces 210 hp.
The 1.5-liter engine is standard on the base trim, and the hybrid option is available on the ST-Line and up. The 2-liter gas engine is standard on the ST-Line Select and up. Only one trim has the plug-in hybrid engine, and that’s the appropriately named Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid trim.
Comfort in Abundance
Every trim of the Ford Escape has some standard and available features that can enhance your comfort and your enjoyment of the whole ride experience. Features such as a wireless charging pad, panoramic roof, and premium-wrapped heated steering wheel are available on the base trim. With many competitors, similar features are only available on higher trims, so the Escape definitely stands out in a great way.
A center console with a media bin, a premium-wrapped steering wheel, numerous power points, and 8 cupholders are a few of the comfort/convenience features that are standard on the base trim.
Safety at Every Turn
No matter what happens while you’re driving, you can be sure that your Escape is looking out for you. A Blind Spot Information System with Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, Lane-Keeping System, and Pre-Collision Assist are all standard driver assistance features that are there to improve each journey.
The Pre-Collision Assist feature can detect pedestrians as well as cars, and it can automatically apply the brakes if you don’t respond to any warning it gives you about an upcoming collision. It’s basically like having a second driver there to slam on the brakes and warn you of potential dangers, even when you’re driving alone.
Incredible Standard and Available Technology
The Ford Escape comes with an 8-inch touchscreen equipped with SYNC 4 technology. It has wireless smartphone connectivity, which is a feature that some more luxurious models don’t even have, even on some higher trims. It also has a standard Wi-Fi hotspot on the base trim, which makes it stand out from competitors that only have Wi-Fi on their higher trims. You have the option to upgrade to a larger screen and get Connected Navigation, too.
