The compact SUV segment is one of the most competitive in the industry, and Ford has consistently been a strong contender. The 2024 Ford Escape takes things to a new level, though, with its top-of-the-line technology, impressive performance, and family-friendly design. Here’s an in-depth look at how the 2024 Escape is redefining what a compact SUV can be.
Fuel Efficient
One of the standout features of the 2024 Ford Escape is its exceptional fuel efficiency. With an EPA-estimated 42 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, the Escape ensures that you spend less time at the pump and more time enjoying the open road, even when taking the whole crew along in this five-seater. This makes it an ideal choice for both daily commuting and long-distance travel and perfect for families trying to save.
Powertrain Options
The Escape offers two EcoBoost engine options. The 1.5L EcoBoost provides a balanced mix of power and efficiency, while the available 2.0L EcoBoost offers enhanced performance with 250hp for those who crave a bit more under the hood. It only sacrifices a couple mpg for all the extra power, so this is worth considering if you need to tow or have a lot of family to haul.
For environmentally conscious drivers, the Escape doesn’t disappoint, either. The standard hybrid combines gasoline and electric power from regenerative braking for great fuel economy without sacrificing performance. The plug-in hybrid offers great acceleration and an impressive 37-mile all-electric range, with 101mpge!
Design and Comfort
Despite its compact classification, the Escape comfortably seats up to five passengers, and the second-row sliding seats with a 60/40 split-fold-down feature allow you to customize the interior space according to your needs. Passengers enjoy a generous 40.7 inches of legroom when the seats are pushed back, and folding the rear seats flat gives you access to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
Both the driver and front passenger seats come heated, ensuring comfort during colder months, and the available 10-way power drive seat also has power lumbar support and power recline. The second-row side windows and liftgate come with privacy glass, adding a touch of elegance while keeping prying eyes away. Meanwhile, 19-inch ebony-painted aluminum wheels, standard even on the base trim, enhance the Escape’s road presence.
