Compact SUVs are one of the hottest vehicles in the automotive market today. They offer the fuel economy and maneuverability of a smaller vehicle, but with the added bonus of extra passenger and cargo space. The 2022 Ford Escape is one of the most popular versions of this vehicle, thanks to its smart design, practical interior, and host of technology features. So let’s take a look at everything that the newest Escape has to offer.
Meet the 2022 Ford Escape
Overview of the Escape
The Ford Escape is a compact SUV that was first introduced in 2001. It was one of the first SUVs on the market to offer a hybrid option, and it has remained popular for its fuel efficiency and versatility. The Escape is based on the same platform as the retired Ford Focus, and it shares many of its features and dimensions.
New Features
This year, the Escape is offered in three new colors: Iced Blue, Flight Blue, and Atlas Blue. In addition, it comes in no less than ten trims if you include all the hybrid models. Here are the car’s best features you won’t want to miss:
Ford Co-Pilot360
This suite of advanced driver assistance technologies comes standard on all Escape models. It includes features like forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, emergency braking, and automatic high-beam headlights.
Enhanced Performance
The base model Escape comes with a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine that’s equipped with Auto Start-Stop to improve mileage. There’s also an available 2.0-liter engine for even more power. Lastly, the Escape comes with five different drive modes, so you get superior traction whether you’re navigating slippery roads or muddy terrain.
Gas-Efficient Hybrid Models
All hybrids get 44 miles per gallon in the city and 37 on the highway. There is also the Escape Plug-In Hybrid, which has a 2.5-liter engine and a larger electric motor that reaches up to 38 miles before switching to gas.
Practical Utility
The Escape has plenty of room for five passengers and their cargo. It has 33.5 cubic feet of space in the back with the seats up, and 65.4 cubic feet with the seats folded down. That’s more than enough room for a family’s luggage or gear for a weekend getaway. In addition, optional all-wheel drive and 1,500 lbs of towing capacity mean the Escape can handle light off-roading while hauling a small trailer.
Tech-Savvy Interior
The Escape comes standard with Ford’s SYNC 3 infotainment system, which is one of the most user-friendly systems on the market. It has a sleek interface with large icons that are easy to see and use. Better still, it’s compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa.
It’s no wonder why the Escape is one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market; it has everything that drivers are looking for in a vehicle! Are you ready to bring home an Escape? Visit us at Rochester Ford today, and we’ll help you find the perfect model for your needs.
