The 2021 Ford Escape is a small crossover SUV that improves upon the fresh redesign its 2020 sibling brought. If you’re searching for a vehicle that gives you plenty of space without becoming unwieldy when maneuvering through busy city streets, the new Escape is an excellent option.
Wide Variety of Trims
The newest Escape is available in an array of trim levels to let you find the perfect SUV to suit your needs. Opt for the entry-level S or upgrade to the SE, SEL, or Titanium. The SE, SEL, and Titanium are available as both conventional and plug-in hybrid models. The SEL can be equipped with many available exterior features, including roof rails and a hands-free power liftgate. From its sporty sedan-like curves to its black mesh grille and available dual exhaust, the Escape has a style that appeals to a wide range of drivers.
Up to 250 Horsepower
There are several engines to choose from with the 2021 Escape. The entry-level option is a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower. Next up is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that offers 250 horsepower. The hybrid Escapes are outfitted with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors that work together to create a combined 221 horsepower.
The gasoline-exclusive engines are matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrids get a continuously variable automatic transmission.
All-Wheel Drive and Hybrid Options
The new Escape comes standard with a front-wheel-drive system, but the available all-wheel-drive system gives you superior traction on the road. If you’re focused on fuel efficiency, consider making the switch to one of the hybrid models. The plug-in hybrid achieves an amazing 44 mpg rating in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. However, if you want to stick to gasoline, you’ll still enjoy up to 27 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. With the spirited performance from the available upgraded engine, the Escape is a well-rounded performer.
Stunning Interior
Sliding inside the 2021 Ford Escape shows that Ford maintained its focus on providing its drivers with a comfortable riding experience. Moving up through the trim levels will give you access to features such as heated seats, leather upholstery, wood accents, and acoustic glass. The Escape also has plenty of tech to enhance your drive, including an excellent B&O sound system, a 12.3-inch digital driver information cluster, a premium navigation system, and a larger 8-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Reliable Safety Features
Each 2021 Ford Escape comes loaded with advanced features to maximize your safety. With the standard automatic emergency braking system, the Escape measures the distance between you and the car ahead of you and applies the brakes automatically if you haven’t done so in time. Other safety features include the lane-departure warning with a lane-keeping assist system and a standard blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, which is a feature many other models make you pay extra for. If advanced safety is a priority for you, let the Ford Escape collection of safety awards put your mind at ease.
