The 2022 Ford Escape is a versatile SUV that's designed for busy families on the move. It offers a range of powertrains - including two hybrid options - and a range of high-tech innovations that make every drive both safer and more fun. Here's how the 2022 Ford Escape can enhance your active lifestyle.
Powertrain options
The Ford Escape invites you to customize your driving experience. You can choose from four powertrain options, including a conventional hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. Plus, you can enjoy a more confident ride with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive for better traction on rainy days. The Escape also features AWD Disconnect to optimize its fuel economy.
The standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost® mill offers 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque while delivering up to 34 mpg on the highway.[1] For more muscle, go with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine, which churns out 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This dynamo provides a sportier ride in tandem with an eight-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift® and paddle shifters.
If you're looking for better fuel efficiency, consider one of the Escape's hybrid options. The 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid boasts a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle powertrain that offers 200 horsepower while earning up to 41 mpg combined. [1] For a little more pep in your step, you can choose the Escape Plug-In Hybrid. It delivers 221 net horsepower while earning an impressive 105 MPGe combined. [1]
The Escape is also ideal for drivers who need a vehicle to do some light trailering. When equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine and the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, the Escape can tow up to 3,500 pounds. If you opt for a hybrid model, your Escape will be able to manage up to 1,500 pounds. So whichever you choose, you'll have to power to tow a boat or a small trailer full of supplies for your next camping trip.
Interior comfort and spaciousness
The Ford Escape offers the versatility you need for both daily life and occasional weekend road trips. With five seats and plenty of legroom in the second row, it's perfect for both adventures with friends and running errands around town with your kids. Its ergonomically-designed cockpit ensures your comfort whether you're on a long drive or a short commute. To free up more room in the cabin, the Escape boasts a rotary dial shifter instead of a standard gear shifter.
With all five seats in place, the Escape offers 37.5 cubic feet of storage space. That's more than enough room to accommodate grocery runs, weekend getaways, a stroller, or a canine companion. If you find yourself needing more room, you can fold down the backseat to open up 65.4 cubic feet of space.
Tech tools for your busy lifestyle
If you need to stay in touch when you're on the go, the Ford Escape has you covered with a variety of high-tech connectivity features. The available SYNC® 3 infotainment system features intuitive voice commands that allow you to set up navigation, make calls, play music, and more - all without taking your hands off the wheel.
The SYNC® 3 infotainment system also offers helpful tech tools like Ford+Alexa, which enables you to remotely manage your compatible smart home devices. You can also access Waze for traffic reports and navigation. And if you'd like to enjoy your favorite podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks on the go, simply sync your smartphone with Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™.
Advanced safety technology
Whether you're flying solo or with a family in tow, safety is always a priority on the road. That's why the Ford Escape boasts Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology. It equips your Escape with the Lane-Keeping System and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, designed to help you avoid or mitigate accidents. Plus, to take some stress out of your driving experience, you can upgrade for conveniences like Active Park Assist 2.0 and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control.
