The Ford Escape is a sleek compact SUV that’s great for both running errands and taking long road trips. Which one of its trim has what you’re looking for, though? To help drivers in Port Arthur, Nederland, and Lake Charles decide, Town and Country Ford looks at what each one has to offer in this Ford Escape trim levels review.

Ford Escape S

The base trim runs on a 1.5L EcoBoost® engine that gets up to 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain comes with Auto Start-Stop Technology and works alongside a versatile 8-speed automatic transmission.

The exterior has a bold design with a black grille, door handles, and lower body paneling. It runs on 17-inch steel wheels and includes a body-colored rear spoiler. You’ll also have great visibility with LED taillamps and configurable Daytime Running Lamps.

Inside, you’ll find comfortable bucket seats with cloth upholstery. For a more convenient drive, the cabin features six cupholders, three 12-volt power outlets, and two USB ports. A 4.2-inch instrument cluster comes standard in the dashboard. It’ll keep you connected with the SYNC® infotainment system. It includes Enhanced Voice Recognition Communication and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

There’s also advanced technology designed to keep you safe. Ford Co-Pilot360™ comes standard and includes:

• Lane-Keeping System

Ford Escape SE

The Ford Escape SE runs on the same powertrain as the base trim but adds some style to the exterior with chrome door handles and chrome molding. The interior offers more amenities with heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat.

The dashboard also receives a big upgrade. The SYNC® 3 system includes an 8-inch touchscreen with pinch-to-zoom capability. Once you connect your smartphone to the system, you’ll have access to your apps through Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.

Ford Escape SE Sport Hybrid

A 2.5L I-4 hybrid powertrain comes standard in the Escape SE Sport Hybrid. This efficient and exciting trim adds some more technology to the interior, too, with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. It also includes some sporty styling with a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The Ford Escape SEL runs on a more powerful and available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine. It can get up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. It’ll also give you great visibility with standard fog lamps.
