2022 Ford Escape

The 2022 Escape has an aggressive yet elegant silhouette that can't be ignored. On the S, this extraordinary appearance is accentuated by a black grille with color-keyed accents, a prominent spoiler, and dual chrome exhaust tips. The SE has a black mesh grille with chrome accents, chrome molding, and silver-painted skid plates. The SEL adds heated mirrors, halogen fog lamps, and a power liftgate. With the Titanium, you can take advantage of a hands-free liftgate and LED fog lamps. You'll also find 19-inch wheels with a refined machine finish. Stunning shades like Iced Blue Silver, Atlas Blue, and Rapid Red complete the look.

The Escape's powerful performance results from its 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine that puts out 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. Equip your Escape with Ford's Trailer Tow Package and you can take advantage of a 2,000-pound towing capacity. Ford also offers a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine generating 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. When this robust engine teams up with Ford's Class II Trailer Tow Package, it enables the Escape to tow 3,500 pounds. For drivers who want a hybrid Escape, a powertrain consisting of a 2.5-liter iVCT Atkinson-cycle engine and an electric motor is available. The hybrid Escape has an output of 165 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque.

Slide behind the Escape's steering wheel, and you're guaranteed to experience a lively ride. EcoBoost-equipped Escapes get an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid Escape has an electronically controlled variable transmission. Both systems enable quick, smooth acceleration. A nimble front-wheel drive comes standard, or you can equip your Escape with Ford's all-wheel-drive system featuring AWD disconnect. This innovative system disconnects the all-wheel-drive when you're driving on stable surfaces and only need front-wheel functionality.

Inside the Escape, you'll find ample seating for five, cozy seating surfaces, and premium accents. You can add a heated steering wheel and heated seats to warm up your chilly morning commute. An ambient lighting system with multiple color options helps you create the ideal atmosphere to suit your driving mood. Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you access to your favorite entertainment and navigation apps.

The 2022 Ford Escape comes loaded with cutting-edge safety features, including a pre-collision assist system that can sense imminent collisions and apply the brakes when necessary. The Escape's blind-spot monitor makes it safer to change lanes by warning you when a vehicle enters your blind-spot zones. If you're driving in reverse, the rear cross-traffic monitor will alert you to approaching vehicles and pedestrians. The Escape also has parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and a tire-pressure monitor.
