An Overview of the 2023 Ford Escape
Performance
In addition to available all-wheel drive, the 2023 Escape gives you three different engines to choose from. The first two engines are a 180-horsepower 1.5-liter three-cylinder and a 2.0-liter I-4 that generates 250 horsepower. The third engine is a 2.5-liter I-4 that’s available with both hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Models equipped with the hybrid powertrain can achieve up to 192 horsepower with this engine, while plug-in models offer up to 210 horses.
This vehicle also offers different driving behaviors with the Selectable Drive Modes feature, which allows you to switch into different modes, depending on whether you’re looking for more traction, sportier handling, or other enhancements.
Interior
With room for as many as five people and 104 cubic feet of passenger space, the 2023 Escape’s cabin is accommodating and offers many stylish and comfortable seating options, including quilted, mini-perforated leather-trimmed seats, second-row sliding seats, and a 60/40 split-folding seat in the rear.
Other available amenities to make road trips more comfy include dual-zone climate control, which divides the cabin’s temperature into two separate zones with different settings, and a power-operated, wide-spanning panoramic sunroof that can be enjoyed by both front- and second-row passengers.
Technology
Keeping you connected to the outside world, as well as smartphones wirelessly, the SYNC 4 infotainment system allows you to make hands-free calls and control music and satellite radio channels using your voice, and it also offers both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, as well as Bluetooth capabilities.
By putting important vehicle and driving information on your windshield, the available Head-Up Display feature allows you to keep your eyes focused on the road instead of glancing downward at an instrument panel, and the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot allows every passenger to connect to the Internet from their devices simultaneously.
Safety
There are also many advanced safety monitoring systems found in the 2023 Escape, like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. These two systems pair together to warn you of hazards in your path while automatically bringing the vehicle to a stop when possible if you’re approaching too quickly.
While driving in parking lots, Active Park Assist 2.0 can take over most of your parking responsibilities by moving the vehicle in and out of spaces with very little input on your part.
