2024 Ford Escape
The history of the 2024 Ford Escape goes back over two decades, beginning with the popular yet humble first generation. People fawned over the first gen, thrilled with its plentiful amenities and robust exterior. Fast-forward twenty or so years, and the Escape has successfully etched its name in automotive history. A trailblazer in the compact SUV segment, the Escape exceeds expectations and has become a symbol of everything that makes Ford great.
Continuously evolving through its use of technology and Ford’s design innovation, the Escape manages to enthrall each new driving generation. With enhanced performance, cutting-edge tech, and stark attention to detail, the Escape dominates its segment and is a top choice for many. Six trim options provide more than enough variation for anyone seeking a ride with a bold style and refined features. The addition of a hybrid powertrain and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant sets the Escape further apart from the crowd.
The Ford Escape is a spacious and comfortable ride, equipped with some of the most advanced safety systems. From the intelligent driver assistance features that can detect and even help prevent accidents to the effortless entertainment programs that keep you connected and bopping along to your favorite beats, the Escape has it all. There’s a reason Ford calls it the Escape: when you’re inside, it is like an escape from the real world, taking you on the ride of your life.

Safety
Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest,” suggesting that our investment of time, resources, and energy into the pursuit of knowledge will reward us significantly. Benjamin Franklin was right, showing our efforts have resulted in technology that has revolutionized the auto industry and will undoubtedly continue to do so. Technology not only enhances the entertainment experience but also significantly advances safety features in modern vehicles like the 2024 Ford Escape, setting us up for success in a number of ways.
Equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, the Escape is a fine example of what is possible when technology is properly applied to vehicles. Ford’s very own suite of safety technology offers a wide range of programs that cover most foreseeable situations. BLIS is one of these programs and is unique to Ford. BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) comes with Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, so the dreaded blind spot is no more, and confidence will be at an all-time high.
While many of the systems are designed to detect and react to emergency situations, others just make driving more convenient. The available Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Speed Sign Recognition might be a bit of a mouthful, but it is one of these systems that will greatly increase confidence, improve safety, and make life a bit easier. With such intelligent features at your back, your road trips, commutes, and errands will be a breeze.
Smart programs with the ability to provide a type of “hands-on” assistance are one of the latest additions to new vehicles and it is a vast improvement over unassisted models. Evasive Steering Assist, which is available on all trims and standard on select ones, provides that extra hand when you need it the most. Rather than recovering from an accident, imagine avoiding one altogether—and with technology such as this, that is easier done than said.
If what you have read so far isn’t enough to impress you, then wait until you hear about the Escape’s available self-parking feature. Called Active Park Assist 2.0, this program is about as smart as you want your vehicle to get. Taking control of braking, accelerating, and steering, the Escape can actually park itself and do so in a variety of situations. Although this might be more of a convenience factor than a safety one, it is still an awesome option to have.
Connectivity
Technology is improving every aspect of the industry, including comforts and conveniences like infotainment; this is the unique combination of information and entertainment, both of which can be accessed in most modern-day vehicles thanks to technology. The 2024 Ford Escape is well-equipped, sporting the SYNC 4 program. Acting as a hub for all of your infotainment needs, SYNC 4 operates two possible displays.
An expansive 8.0-inch LCD touchscreen comes standard on the Active, ST-Line, and ST-Line Select trims for an immersive experience. Moving on up to the ST-Line Elite and Platinum trims and the PHEV model, the Escape breaks out of the norm with a massive 13.2-inch LCD display. Whichever display you end up with, you are sure to enjoy its responsive and easy-to-use interface.
It is through these displays that you gain access to standard connectivity features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Say goodbye to being plugged in and dragged down and hello to a mess-free, stress-free cabin where connecting your smart device is a breeze. Through these easy-to-use connectivity options, users are able to seamlessly integrate their home lives with their out-and-about lives.
Continuing with the freedom theme, a wireless charging pad is available on a majority of the trims and even comes as a standard option on a few of them. Juicing up your devices could completely change the outcome of your day and even act as a safety feature in select emergency situations. If this charger isn’t a goal of yours, don’t worry because the Escape also comes with a series of charging ports conveniently located.
All trims—no matter their price tag—sport FordPass Connect with 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities. Now, in a world where we practically breathe, eat, drink, and live Wi-Fi, this is one massive selling point not to be ignored. Whether you are trying to entertain the kids on the trip to Grandma’s or keep connected to work while on the road, the FordPass feature will keep you in the know.
Performance
The 2024 Ford Escape is not a one-size-fits-all type of vehicle; it is more like a multiple-sizes-fit-all. Six unique trims provide a wide array of options, and all of them are great. These include different powertrain options, making the Escape a solid choice for many lifestyles.
Several of the trims come standard with front-wheel drive, putting efficiency at the forefront. For those who need a bit more grip on their lives, other trims come standard with All-Wheel Drive with AWD Disconnect. Whether you are facing heavy rain, light snow, or dry land, all-wheel drive is a nice option that opens up possibilities.
Supporting the all- or front-wheel drive system is an arrangement of engines. Standard across the board—with the exception of the hybrid model—is the 2.0L EcoBoost engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology. EcoBoost is an ingenious system that has been modified, perfected, and enjoyed for quite some time. The addition of Auto Start-Stop Technology bumps up fuel savings and turns the Escape into a lean, mean, fuel-efficient machine.
Next up on the block is the 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Hybrid engine, which is an available option on all trims but not the PHEV model, which, as you can imagine, offers a plug-in variety of this same engine. As technology for alternative fuel sources continues to evolve, options with mild-hybrids, full-hybrids, and even fully electric vehicles are popping up everywhere, and they all offer pretty great benefits. With the options available on the Escape, it is easy to find a trim that works for you.
Although the Escape won’t win any towing competitions, it will at least participate with a towing max of 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. If you don’t plan on towing titanic trailers, then the Escape is a great option that offers enough oomph for enjoying a weekend away with a boat or camper. With the Escape’s just-right power, easy-to-maneuver size, and spacious cabin, there isn’t much you can’t do behind the wheel of the Ford Escape.
