If you prefer an American-made compact SUV with more power than its foreign rivals, the Ford Escape is right for you. Following a significant update last year, this vehicle gets a few minor tweaks to keep it competitive with big names in the compact SUV market.
The base model Escape is now only available for fleets, making the Escape Active the most budget-friendly option for regular buyers. Starting from the ST-Line trim, keyless entry, and push-button start are now standard features. The color choices have also been updated.
The new Ford Escape is available in six trims at your local Ford dealer: Active, PHEV, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum. Swing by Gjovik Ford if you're looking for a 2024 Ford Escape for sale in Plano, IL. Let our friendly staff walk you through its features.
The 2024 Ford Escape's interior is modern and well-equipped. The larger touchscreen, available on higher trims, stands out and is centrally located for easy access. This is complemented by a sizable digital gauge cluster, also found in higher trims. Upgraded materials make the interior feel more upscale. Furthermore, physical buttons are thoughtfully distributed across the central console, steering wheel, and door handles to maintain a clean look.
With its five-seat configuration, the new Ford Escape crossover offers a spacious feel. Even hybrid models, which sacrifice about two inches of rear legroom for their batteries, provide ample space. The headroom is excellent throughout, comfortably accommodating adults in any seat. Meanwhile, the high roof and raised floor make entry and exit easy. The driver benefits from a power-adjustable seat that enhances visibility. Standard assistance features also eliminate any blind spots.
Sticking with five seats ensures ample cargo space behind the second row, providing 37.5 cubic feet in gas models and 34.5 cubic feet in hybrids. Folding the rear seats increases this to 65.4 cubic feet for gas models and 60.8 cubic feet for hybrids. Although they don't fold flat, there's still plenty of room.
The cabin features various storage spots for smaller items, including a glove compartment, an armrest cubby, two front cup holders, and six more around the cabin. In addition, the doors have spacious pockets, and there's a pocket on the back of the front passenger seat. A small bin in the center console is perfect for smart devices, and an overhead tray can hold sunglasses.
The 2024 Ford Escape features a more attractive design than its pre-facelift version, featuring sharper lines around the front fascia and a more striking side profile. It already has a sporty vibe, but in the ST-Line trims, it looks even more athletic with a large rear spoiler, black mesh grille, and a skid-plate-like bumper insert.
Standard features include LED headlights and signature running lights, with the Platinum and ST-Line Elite adding a coast-to-coast LED light bar. Most trims also come with LED fog lights. The base 17-inch alloy wheels can be upgraded to 18-inch or 19-inch alloys as you go up the trim levels. A power liftgate is also standard, and a vista roof is available.
The 2024 Escape is available in the following colors:
The 2024 Ford Escape offers four engine choices, split evenly between gas and hybrid options. Lower trims come with a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. Starting from the ST-Line Select, a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque is standard.
The front-wheel drive is standard with the base engine, while the all-wheel drive is available and standard with the more robust EcoBoost engine. On the other hand, the ST-Line models and Platinum offer a hybrid powertrain featuring a 2.5-liter engine and electric motor, delivering 192 horsepower combined with FWD and AWD options.
The plug-in hybrid pairs the same 2.5-liter engine with a more powerful electric motor, offering 210 horsepower combined, but only with FWD. Gas models use an eight-speed automatic transmission, while hybrids have a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
The base engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds, while the stronger four-cylinder can handle up to 3,500 pounds. Hybrids have a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds.
