2021 Ford Escape Interior

2021 Ford Escape


When it comes to staying comfortable when driving around Plainfield, Indianapolis, and Brownsburg, Indiana, your car’s interior makes all the difference. After all, you can’t truly appreciate your car’s other features, such as its fuel efficiency and stylish exterior, if you feel cramped inside it.

At Andy Mohr Ford, we know you want to learn as much as possible before deciding on a vehicle. That’s why our team is providing a helpful review of the 2021 Ford Escape’s interior. We’ll discuss seating options, cargo space, tech features, finishes, and more.


Seating Options and Dimensions

In the front of the 2021 Ford Escape, you’ll get pampered with available sport contour bucket seats. The SUV’s spacious cabin boasts the following measurements:

  • Headroom (front/rear): 40 inches/39.3 inches
  • Legroom (front/rear): 42.2 inches/40.7 inches
  • Hip Room (front/rear): 55.2 inches/53.3 inches
  • Shoulder Room (front/rear): 57.6 inches/56 inches

All in all, that makes for a generous total passenger volume of 104 cubic feet across all five seats.

S, which is the base trim of this model, has a 6-way manual driver’s seat, while higher trim levels, such as the Titanium, feature a 10-way power driver’s seat. The latter includes lumbar and recline settings for a highly customizable driving experience for Escape pilots.

The 10-way power seat also includes driver seat memory for added comfort and convenience, letting you return to your ideal setup in seconds after another family member has used the vehicle.


Cargo: Storage and Capacity

Without folding down any of the seats, the 2021 Escape provides plenty of cargo space—37.5 cubic feet of it. This is ideal if you’re hauling smaller items and still need room for up to five passengers. That’s enough room for a full-size dog crate, so Spot can join in on your next adventure, too.

Planning on moving furniture? You can maximize cargo space and get 65.4 cubic feet by folding down both back seats. The second-row 60/40 split-fold seats move in whatever direction you need with its slide and recline features. Avid travelers will appreciate the available roof-mounted Cargo Basket by Yakima that provides additional storage space atop your SUV. 

To protect your privacy and valuables, an available cargo shade connected to the liftgate obscures items from sight. The ample dimensions of the glove box are also a convenient spot to tuck items away. You also get up to eight cupholders—perfect for making sure the whole crew can enjoy their coffee!

In other words, regardless of where you’re going, the 2021 Ford Escape offers the cabin you’ll need to get there with your friends, your family, and all your gear in tow. You really can have it all!


Audio and Infotainment Technology

The 2021 Ford Escape offers plenty of fun technology to keep everyone entertained. The basic features you know and love, like USB connectivity, are standard in all trim levels. SYNC®, which lets you easily connect to mobile apps and music, is standard on the S trim.

Whether using the standard SYNC® or the available SYNC® 3 with 8-inch touchscreen, the Escape is engineered to give you an intuitive smartphone experience.

If you opt for the Titanium trim, you get a 10-speaker B&O Sound System and subwoofer for an enhanced audio experience, along with HD Radio™. You also get SYNC® 3 and FordPass Connect™. These smart systems support select devices, provide a Wi-Fi® hotspot, and allow you to use an app to remotely control certain aspects of your vehicle.

Connect your phone or other devices for hands-free phone calls and streaming audio with Bluetooth® capability, included with FordPass Connect™. It lets you bypass carrying phone cords and understands verbal commands for easy use while you’re on the move. On a similar note, the available wireless charging pad makes a phone full of battery power easy to maintain every day.


More Interior Technology

Numerous technology features within the 2021 Ford Escape broaden its abilities past the (very important) ability to play your favorite playlist. With the standard Rear View Camera, you can back up with confidence. It automatically engages when you shift into reverse, giving a clear picture of the area you’re entering.

Once you’re heading toward your destination, Ford’s available Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System offers turn-by-turn directions with rerouting to avoid heavy traffic. The screen offers pinch-to-zoom capability so that you can check out detailed turns and merges in advance. It’s also voice-activated, so you can set a route or reroute when traffic needs to be your primary focus.

Ambient lighting is another helpful feature, available with the Titanium trim.

Furthermore, you could upgrade to a Remote Start System that will allow you to turn your car on while you’re still inside your house or apartment. You might look forward to winter drives this year with this handy feature.


Warming Up and Cooling Down

Safety and comfort are both enhanced for drivers who can travel in an environment that suits their needs. Targeted features keep your body and hands warm during the coldest of midwestern winters with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel available for the 2021 Escape.

Keep everyone happy with the adjustability of dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control. It lets both the driver and front passenger select different preferences for a harmonious experience.

When outside has the perfect temperature figured out for you, enjoy fresh air and sunlight with the available panoramic Vista Roof®.


Safety in the Ford Escape

From within the 2021 Ford Escape, you’ll be able to drive with confidence, thanks to numerous driver-assistive features. They’re artfully integrated into the interior design of the SUV’s cabin, delivering information efficiently and clearly.

Just a few of the many Ford Escape standard safety features include:

  • BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Lane-Keeping System
  • AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™)
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

With the SOS Post-Crash Alert System™, Ford Co-Pilot360™ technology keeps an eye on your journey and summons help in emergencies. If an impact is serious enough to deploy an airbag, the Escape flashes lights and sounds the horn to ensure prompt assistance from anyone nearby.


Escape Finishes and Amenities
