Taking to trails and highways as easily as it does city streets, the 2023 Ford Escape is a versatile two-row SUV that offers all-wheel drive and multiple performance options, as well as many impressive comfort features, from its hi-tech entertainment options to its luxury seating.

Exceptional Performance

Regardless of your needs, there are three reliable engines to choose from with the 2023 edition of the Escape, with two gas engines and a gas-electric hybrid variant available. The smaller gas engine is a turbocharged 180-horsepower 1.5-liter that offers a 2,000-pound tow rating, while the larger one, a 2.0-liter, is also turbocharged and delivers 250 horses alongside 3,500 pounds of towing strength.

The hybrid engine serves up both strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency, with up to 210 horses and an estimated 36 mpg in highway mileage achievable. Regardless of which engine you go with, all can be paired with an available all-wheel-drive system that makes an easy task out of rugged off-road terrains and slippery surfaces.

Luxury and Technology

Along with plenty of comfortable seating options, this edition’s interior offers luxury and convenience from the front to back, with 104 cubic feet of space for cargo and room for up to five passengers. The panoramic sunroof can help ventilate the cabin on sunny days, while the dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and heated steering wheel can all keep you comfy when it’s chilly outside.

The SYNC infotainment system is the heart of this vehicle’s impressive suite of tech features, as it offers voice-activated controls, a full-color touchscreen, and a wide range of infotainment functions, from smartphone connectivity with its Bluetooth integration to navigation assistance with turn-by-turn route instructions on the screen. Rather than having to look at your instrument cluster when you need to check notifications or your speed, you can instead glance at the lower area of your windshield with the Head-Up Display.

Safety for All Occasions

Using sophisticated sensors, many of the vehicle’s safety systems provide proactive protection, like Pre-Collision Assist, which detects when vehicles are either moving slowly or have stopped in your path and promptly alerts you of this. If you can’t respond to its warnings, Automatic Emergency Braking takes over by applying the brakes to help prevent a collision.

When lighting conditions around you suddenly change, such as when another vehicle’s headlights appear in front of you or there are fewer streetlights out, the Auto High-Beam Headlamps feature automatically reacts to this by switching between your low and high beams, depending on which are needed at the moment.
