An Overview of the 2023 Ford Escape

Engines and Fuel Economy

When it comes to performance, this edition is sure to impress with its available all-wheel drive and three engine options. Those looking for strong output will easily find it in the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, which delivers 250 horsepower and a 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity.

If your priority is conserving gas, you’ll love the other two engines: a 180-horsepower 1.5-liter that gets an estimated 34 MPG on highways and a 2.5-liter hybrid option that generates 210 horses while offering up to 101 MPGe in combined city/highway mileage.

Cabin Comforts and Design

The Escape’s cabin is a roomy one that provides 104 cubic feet of space for cargo and seating for up to five passengers. Along with dual-zone climate control and heated, leather-trimmed seats, available comfort and convenience amenities include a heated steering wheel, a 60/40 split-folding seat that slides back to provide additional legroom, and the power-operated Panoramic Vista Roof, which can be retracted all the way back, allowing both rows of passengers to enjoy sky views when the sun’s out.

Outside, the LED fog lamps and signature lighting help you cut through the night and poor weather conditions, while the available power liftgate can be opened quickly with the push of a button on your key fob when you’re in a rush. You’ll also love the wide range of unique metallic paint colors available, like Cinnabar Red, Vapor Blue, Agate Black, and Carbonized Gray.

Entertainment and Safety

Advanced technology can be found throughout the Escape in both its entertainment and safety features, with the SYNC 4 infotainment system providing multiple entertainment options, detailed navigation assistance with maps, wireless smartphone access, and hands-free calling on an ultra-wide 13.2-inch touchscreen display. With the FordPass Connect app and the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, up to 10 devices can connect to the internet, and both podcasts and music sound great when played through the premium B&O sound system.

If you’re approaching pedestrians or other vehicles too quickly, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can help you avoid them by warning you first before automatically applying the brakes with its quick-acting Automatic Emergency Braking function. If there’s not enough time to stop, Evasive Steering Assist provides additional support to help you steer around hazards.

Few SUVs come close to offering the impressive performance and first-class comfort features that this one does. To test-drive the 2023 Escape and see its many other features up close, contact us today at Coughlin Ford of Circleville.
