If you’re in the market for a ride that will have you seamlessly cruising around the city, the 2022 Ford Escape might just be the ride for you. Its clever design marries compact and comfort, while its tech and safety features ensure you always feel confident when you’re on the road. There are also an impressive four different engine options available, two of which are hybrids. To learn about just how much this year’s Escape excels, read on.
Your Perfect Drive Through the City
This is an unbeatable SUV for anyone looking for a comfortable and engaging ride. With its gentle suspension, responsive steering, and sensitive brakes, the Escape is perfect for tackling even the pokiest of roads. Plus, its compact body design makes it easy to navigate tight areas – so you don’t have to worry about side streets or cramped parking garages. And if you want to transform your SUV into a pickup, the 2.0-liter engine can get you towing up to 3,500 pounds.
Power, Power, Power
The base engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder that produces 181 horsepower. It’s plenty zippy for around-town driving and makes for a more than serviceable ride. If you want a little more oomph, there’s also a 2.0-liter four-cylinder option that produces 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It’s available on the SEL trim level and is standard on the Titanium trims.
Both of the hybrid engine options use a 2.5-liter two-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. Together, they produce 221 horsepower. The hybrid option also comes with a plug-in feature that allows you to recharge the battery, giving you an extra 37 miles of electric-only driving range. And best of all, the hybrid will get you an impressive 41 mpg in city driving, so you can kiss those high gas prices goodbye.
Room for the Whole Crew
There’s plenty of room for five adults to stretch out in the Escape. With best-in-class legroom of 40.7 inches in the rear seat, no one will be complaining about being cramped on long trips. The comfortable cloth seats can be upgraded to synthetic or genuine leather, and other available upgrades include a moon roof and a heated steering wheel. So whether you’re zooming around Madison or you’re heading out of Virginia entirely, you can enjoy a comfortable ride.
Impressive, Clever Tech
The SYNC 3 system from Ford is one of the most user-friendly systems on the market. It comes standard with a 4.2-inch display and physical buttons, making it extremely easy for the driver to navigate. However, it can be upgraded to an 8-inch touchscreen if you prefer something a little bigger. In addition, a USB port, Bluetooth, and a six-speaker stereo come standard, while satellite radio, navigation, and a robust 10-speaker stereo are available in higher trims.
For the city driver, there’s really no car that will get you where you need to go quite like the Ford Escape. Pick the trim, the powertrain, and tech features to suit your lifestyle, but no matter how you customize it, one thing is universal: this is an unmissable, comfortable, stylish ride.
