At a Glance: The 2023 Ford Escape at Your Ford Dealer
Engines and Fuel Efficiency
Three engines and four powertrain options are available for this edition of the Escape, as well as an available all-wheel drive system that allows you to easily venture off-road when you need to. The three engine options include a 180-horsepower 1.5-liter, a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter, and a 2.5-liter hybrid engine that delivers 210 horses and comes with your choice of either a regular hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Regardless of which engine you go with, all provide excellent fuel efficiency, though the 2.5-liter with the plug-in hybrid option will save you the most money at the gas pump, as it allows you to get an estimated 101 MPGe on city streets and highways when using both fuel and electric energy.
Comforts and Technology
The Escape’s interior is both luxurious and comfortable, with available features like heated leather-trimmed seats, a tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof, and a heated steering wheel, as well as a wide range of distinctive interior color options. Instead of a conventional gear shift that moves back and forth, a stylish rotary gear shift dial can be found up front, and whether you’re carrying passengers or cargo, the 60/40 split-folding seat in the back can easily accommodate both.
Innovative technology is also offered throughout the cabin, with the SYNC 4 infotainment system providing all the entertainment and smartphone connectivity functions needed to spice up drives with its 13.2-inch touchscreen display. This system also works seamlessly with both Alexa built-in and the available 10-speaker B&O sound system, and internet is available for everyone with the Wi-Fi hotspot feature.
Driver-Assist Features
Cutting-edge technology is also found throughout this edition’s many driver-assist systems, including both Active Park Assist 2.0 and the Auto High-Beam Headlamps. The first feature can park the vehicle in tight spaces for you once activated, while the other adjusts headlamp brightness automatically based on lighting conditions around you.
With BLIS, the Blind Spot Information System, you not only have a feature that watches over the blind spot zones on both sides of your vehicle to let you know when other vehicles are present but also the area behind you with its Rear Cross-Traffic Alert function.
