Ford Escape S 

The S trim in the Ford Escape packs the kind of power you’d expect from a Ford SUV. The standard 1.5L I-3 engine generates 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque, while allowing for an EPA-estimated 27 city/33 highway MPG with front-wheel drive.

This trim also comes standard with the Personal Safety System™. This helps keep the driver and front passenger safe in the event of a crash with dual-stage front airbags, crash severity sensors, driver’s seat position sensor, and more.

It also comes standard with the SYNC® infotainment system for hands-free access to music, phone, messaging, and other compatible smartphone apps.

Escape SE

Bump yourself up to the SE trim of this vehicle and you’ll be treated to a bit more luxury to provide a more comfortable ride. This SUV comes standard with all sorts of features like an Electronic Automatic Temperature Control. This feature helps to keep your cabin at just the right temperature by automatically adjusting the fan speeds for you.

This trim also gives you an upgrade with a standard 10-Way Power Driver’s Seat with Front-Row Heat. Not only will you be able to customize your seat with the ideal angle, your seat will even keep you warm. If you’re looking for a vehicle that’s prepared to keep you comfortable no matter what, we recommend this trim.

Finally, your infotainment system gets an upgrade here as well with a standard SYNC® 3 Infotainment System. This system provides a full touchscreen with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ capabilities. You’ll be working with exceptional convenience thanks to the full smartphone integration aboard this trim.

Escape SE Sport Hybrid

If it’s economical performance that you’re after, get behind the wheel of the Escape SE Sport Hybrid. This trim comes standard with a 2.5L Atkinson Cycle I-4 Hybrid engine producing up to 200 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. With the front-wheel drive driveline, this engine will give you an EPA-estimated 44 city/37 highway MPG.

This trim is also loaded with the latest technology with features like a 12.3-inch Full Digital Instrument Cluster. This stylish addition to your cabin provides you with a fully customizable cluster display. You’ll get ahold of all the information you could need while you’re out on the road thanks to this feature.

Ford Escape SEL 

In addition to everything offered in the SE trim, the Ford Escape SEL introduces some comfort and convenience features, like a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. This extra bit of style provides you with some exceptional comfort that’s a great fit when you’re beating the elements.

Not only does this vehicle feature a ton of comfort, it also brings it all together with extra safety as well. The standard Reverse Sensing System aboard this trim level allows your vehicle to provide an audible alert when you’re backing up. The result is improved situational awareness that you can count on when you’re navigating those busy parking lots.

This is also the first trim to offer the available 2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 engine. This engine provides some robust power with up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you can really accelerate with ease. To top that all off, this engine also provides an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG with the all-wheel drive driveline.

Finally, getting ready in the morning is no big deal with this trim. You’ll have access to a Remote Start System, which allows you to turn your SUV on from a distance to warm it up in the morning. You’ll really be able to hit the ground running when you turn your vehicle on with this.

Ford Escape Titanium 

At the head of the pack is the Ford Escape Titanium. This trim is designed with all the latest technology to make your drive as comfortable as possible. Drivers are sure to be impressed by the capabilities of the Active Park Assist 2.0 system. With the press of a button, your vehicle will seek out a parking spot and then steer you into that spot automatically.

You’ll enjoy further automation with the available Rain-Sensing Wipers aboard this vehicle as well. These wipers are designed to detect when rain is hitting your windshield—they’ll even be able to detect how fast the rain is coming down. Your wipers will then turn on automatically and adjust their speed in response to the rain, so you always have ideal visibility.

This vehicle even comes standard with the Adaptive Cruise Control system with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering. This advanced driver assistance feature is designed to keep you at a steady speed while you drive. Your vehicle will even slow down to match the speed of traffic if cars up ahead aren’t driving as fast as you, so you always stay at a safe distance behind other vehicles.

Finally, if you’re really after the latest automotive technology, you can even upgrade the Escape Titanium trim with a Head-Up Display. This feature provides you with a projection of your dashboard information up onto your windshield. This ensures that you always have key driving information within view, and you can avoid looking away from the road.
