Ford Escape Interior

While it can be classified as a compact SUV, there’s nothing compact about the interior of the 2021 Ford Escape. It offers seating for five, lots of space to stretch out, and enough cargo room for all your bags. Everyone can kick back and relax. Plus, if you need to pack more, you can quickly fold the back seats down and nearly double your storage space.

Passenger Room	104 cubic feet
Cargo Room Behind Row (front/rear)	65.4 cubic feet/37.5 cubic feet
Headroom (front/rear)	40 inches/39.3 inches
Legroom (front/rear)	42.4 inches/40.7 inches
Shoulder Room (front/rear)	57.6 inches/56 inches

To make the interior feel even more open, a Panoramic Vista Roof® is also available. It’s just one of the great amenities that the Escape has to offer. For example, you’ll find lots of ways to get comfortable with power-adjustable front seats. To add some luxury to your drive, you can also add both leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

State-of-the-Art Technology

The 2021 Ford Escape makes every drive more fun with the SYNC® 3 infotainment system. It features a standard 4.2-inch dashboard monitor, but an 8-inch touchscreen is also available. However, both options can keep you connected wherever you go.  

To stream music or safely make hands-free calls, just sync your smartphone to the system with Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™. You can even use streaming apps and check your email with a built in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

You can also use your dashboard monitor to see where you’re going. The standard Rear View Camera makes it easy to check behind you when you’re backing up. It’s just one of the safety features that comes with Ford Co-Pilot360™. This bundle of driver-assistance features comes standard on every trim and includes the following safety technology:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keeping System
• Auto High Beam Headlamps

Performance Specs

The 2021 Ford Escape is one SUV that can cover a lot of ground in between stops for gas. To get that kind of performance, you’ll have four dynamic powertrains to choose from. The base engine is 1.5L EcoBoost® that lives up to its name by getting an EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG.

For an even more efficient drive, the Escape offers two hybrid options. The plug-in electric powertrain is easy to charge, while the 2.5L hybrid engine offers the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it can get up to an EPA-estimated 44 city/37 highway MPG. On the other hand, it can get up to 200 horsepower.

If you want an SUV that accelerates like a sports car, you’ll be drawn to the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine. This turbocharged option can deliver up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
