2022 Ford Escape Review

Picture this: The sun is shining as you cruise along the coast. Your windows are down as you inhale the salty ocean air while your favorite song plays gently in the background.

If this is the getaway that you’re after, then you won’t want to interrupt the dream with frequent stops at the gas station. Luckily, the 2022 Ford Escape offers four highly efficient powertrains:

• 1.5L EcoBoost® I-3 engine: EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG
• 2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 engine: EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway MPG
• 2.5L Atkinson Cycle I-4 hybrid engine: EPA-estimated 44 city/37 highway MPG

You won’t need to sacrifice efficiency for power with the Escape. By balancing power with efficiency, its available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine delivers 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque for spirited and unforgettable cruises.

Want to bring the kids on your next adventure? The 2022 Ford Escape makes space with seating for five passengers and 104 cubic feet of passenger space. You’ll also need proper travel gear, so this versatile SUV offers a configurable interior to meet your needs:

• Behind the Second Row: 37.5 cubic feet
• Behind the First Row: 65.4 cubic feet

From your beach equipment to camping gear, the Escape has space for any adventure you plan. Are your hands full of beach chairs or grocery bags? Kick your foot underneath the rear bumper and the available hands-free foot-activated liftgate will open for you!

Explorations are much more enjoyable when you know you’re fully protected at every turn, especially when your kids are sleeping peacefully in the back. With standard Ford Co-Pilot360™ in the Escape, you’ll be treated to the following safety systems

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Cross-Traffic Alert

• Auto High-Beam Headlamps

These features are designed to keep you out of harm’s way. Plus, they can even bring you to a complete stop if a frontal collision seems imminent. Roam far and wide in this Ford SUV, knowing you’ll be safe.

For even greater peace of mind when parking, add on the optional Active Park Assist 2.0. This advanced system can intelligently park your Escape for you, allowing you to kick back and enjoy the ride.
