A Buyer’s Guide to the 2022 Ford Escape

For an SUV that juggles compact and powerful, you can’t go past the 2022 Ford Escape. This dynamic, spacious vehicle takes care of you whether you’re zipping through the city or enjoying the open road. Here’s the lowdown on this brilliant, family-friendly new car.

Power That’s Fuel Efficient

If you’re in the market for a vehicle that offers excellent fuel economy and ample power, the 2022 Escape may be your dream car. Two EcoBoost engines consistently deliver, plus the 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, quick acceleration, and 181 horsepower make this car ideal for drivers who stop and start a lot. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, meanwhile, is the perfect choice for those who need a little more power, offering 245 horsepower and towing capabilities up to 3,500 pounds.

Plus Hybrids Available

For the 2022 model year, the Escape comes in both a standard hybrid and plug-in hybrid version. With the standard, enjoy a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine working with an electric motor to deliver a combined 221 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid, meanwhile, offers a fantastic 37 miles of electric-only driving range and can be recharged in just 3.5 hours. It also has a best-in-class EPA rating of 44 miles per gallon.

A Dreamy Drive

Looking for an SUV that’s comfortable and fun to drive? The Ford Escape is a great option. Its gentle suspension, responsive steering, and sensitive brakes make it perfect for tackling even the most pockmarked roads. Plus, its compact body design makes it easy to navigate tight areas – so you don’t have to worry about side streets or cramped parking garages. To top it off, the seamless eight-speed transmission comes standard, which makes driving a breezy joy.

Safety a Top Priority

Ford put a lot of stock in advanced safety features to help their drivers feel looked after on the road, and the Escape is no exception. It comes with a suite of standard safety features, including blind-spot warning, automatic braking, and lane-keep assist. You can add additional features on higher trim levels, such as rear parking sensors, parallel and perpendicular park assist, and stop-and-go cruise control.

And Great Other Tech, Too

As always, the SYNC 3 infotainment system from Ford is easy-to-use and straightforward, with clear graphics and bold, readable text. Unlike some competitors’ infotainment systems, the buttons on the 4.2-inch display are responsive and the system works quickly, meaning you can navigate and program music on the go. Upgrades will see you enjoying satellite navigation, a larger touchscreen, and even a Bang & Olufsen sound speaker.

A Roomy Interior

The Escape redefines “compact” with an airy, spacious interior that can fit the whole family. Best-in-class leg room offers the entire car an equally comfortable journey, plus enjoy features like automatic climate control and a moon roof. Cloth seating makes for a child-friendly option, plus faux leather and genuine leather are available. 60/40 split-folding rear seats mean you can bring all your gear for camping trips and weekends away.
