When looking at all the different SUVs on the market, few deliver both fuel efficiency and performance. Combine this with the latest technology options, available all-wheel drive, and enough interior room for a whole family, and the 2022 Escape suddenly stands out in the pack. So if you’ve been thinking about getting a new SUV for your everyday commutes or extended road trips, here’s every reason why you should take the 2022 Ford Escape for a spin.
Remarkable Performance
The 2022 Escape delivers three powerful engines and an all-wheel-drive option. The first engine is a 1.5-liter that offers 181 horsepower. The second engine, a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost, can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Then there’s the 2.5-liter hybrid engine, which delivers a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds with an impressive 200 horses.
For plug-in hybrid models, there are four different EV modes to toggle through, so you decide how much fuel or electric power you’d like to use on each drive. You can also monitor which mode you’re in at any given time from within the available 12.3-inch digital instrument screen.
Spacious and Accessible
Not only does the Escape have room for 5 passengers, but there’s plenty of space for cargo items as well. Folding down the 60/40 rear seats provides up to 65.4 cubic feet for hauling luggage, groceries, or camping equipment.
Outside the Escape, the hands-free liftgate can be opened and closed in several different ways. If your hands are full, you can simply motion your foot below the bumper to raise or lower the liftgate. You can also lower it by pressing a button located on the tailgate itself or your key fob.
Sophisticated Technology
For all your connectivity and entertainment needs, a SYNC 3 infotainment option is available. With this system, you can keep your hands on the steering wheel while using voice commands to select music, make calls to friends or family, and access maps and navigation info.
In addition to the Adaptive Cruise Control option, which allows you to set your preferred speed, there’s a Speed Sign Recognition feature and a Stop-and-Go function as well, which work in tandem to accelerate the vehicle or slow it down without additional driver input.
Safety for All Situations
The 2022 Escape also offers multiple safety systems that all work together to alert you to vehicles or people within your path and to prevent accidents or unintended lane changes. The Blind Spot Information System, also known as BLIS, keeps a watchful eye over the areas around your vehicle using radar sensors, so you’ll know when it’s safe to cross over into other lanes.
A rearview camera comes as a standard issue in all models, so reversing into parking spots is safer and stress-free. You’ll also love the automatic high-beam headlamps, which can turn on by themselves when rain moisture, or dark lighting conditions are detected while driving.
With all-wheel-drive capabilities, multiple engine choices, and the very latest in today’s tech and safety options, the 2022 Escape is clearly a winner among other modern SUVs. Come take a look at one and see it for yourself at Tom Denchel Ford of Prosser.
