Set out for uncharted adventures with the all-new 2022 Ford Escape. This versatile Ford SUV offers the all-wheel-drive capabilities you need to take on challenging terrains, as well as a wide range of tech features and safety options that can keep you connected and secure on both trails and highways. So if you haven’t checked out the latest edition of the Escape yet, consider this your introductory guide.
Incredible Performance
With an all-wheel-drive powertrain available, and the
ability to tow as much as 3,500 pounds, the 2022 Escape is well-equipped to
tackle just about any challenge. Adding to its impressive versatility are its
many different engine options to suit all tastes.
Both fuel and hybrid engines are available, with a turbocharged 181-horsepower
1.5L gas engine serving as the base option and a 2.0L with 250 horses available
in upper-end models. The two gas-electric options are a full hybrid with 200
horsepower and a plug-in hybrid that can produce an impressive 221 horsepower
while paired with the vehicle’s electric motor.
Impressively Designed
In addition to seating up to five people, the Escape’s
interior is a spacious and comfy one. In the second row, you’ll love the 60/40
split-fold seats that slide forward and backward to give you more room for
cargo or as much as 40.7 inches of legroom for passengers.
A rotary gear shift dial adds a bit of style and convenience to the front row
as it frees up more space, while an available hands-free liftgate with a foot
activation function graces the back of the vehicle for easy loading of
groceries. Chilly days are no match for the heated front-row leather seats,
remote engine start system, and heated side-view mirrors.
Convenient Technology
With both the SYNC 3 system and the Head-Up Display feature,
you’ll never have to glance down at a display screen again. You can control
music, navigation controls, and phone calls using your voice while important
visual notifications are transmitted to the windshield display directly in
front of you.
If you’ve forgotten the charging cable for your smartphone at home, it’s no
problem with the available wireless charging pad. You also won’t have to search
for hotspot locations on road trips if you need to use the internet, thanks to
the integrated 4G LTE Wi-Fi feature that can be used with the FordPass app.
Advanced Safety Systems
The Escape’s safety monitoring systems are all intuitive in that they work to prevent accidents before they happen. To avoid collisions with slower vehicles in your path, Pre-Collision Assist can warn you if you’re approaching another vehicle at an unsafe speed.
BLIS, the vehicle’s blind-spot warning system, uses radar sensors to detect other vehicles, so you can make informed lane changes when it’s safe to do so. If you start to veer out of your lane unintentionally, Lane-Keeping System can alert you to this and, if needed, can gently steer the vehicle back to where it should be.
With an inviting, spacious cabin, stunning performance, and the cutting-edge tech features you should expect to find in a modern SUV, the 2022 Escape is a leader within its class. Come see it today and take it for a test drive at Crain Ford Jacksonville.
