The Ford Escape series has received positive verdicts from several customers over the last few years. This is because the vehicle has an elegant exterior design, multiple powertrain options, and top-class safety technology as standard. Such factors, combined with its attractive interiors, make the SUV an appealing choice for those who are looking for a practical build. Moreover, the latest 2022 Ford Escape model offers significantly more than its predecessor.

Cost of the new Ford Escape
The new Ford Escape S model starts at $27,185. Customers may pick from the other variants of the vehicle that are also available as hybrids. The Ford Escape Titanium Plug-In Hybrid is the top model of the Escape lineup and starts at $40,700. This cost will also increase based on additions one makes to the automobile. Customers can also check out the “Offers, Rebates and Coupons” section on Ford’s official website. Here they can redeem rebates such as a $100 rebate by mail on the purchase of four select tires or up to 31,000 FordPass® Rewards bonus points.

Performance
Although the 2022 Ford Escape does not pack the most powerful engine in its segment, the SUV exceeds expectations where overall performance is concerned. The 2022 Ford Escape S model features a 1.5L EcoBoost® engine that is said to deliver about 28 mpg in the city and approximately 34 mpg on the highway. Those who want an extra power punch in their vehicle can opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine. Front-wheel drive and Four-Wheel Disc Brakes with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) are also performance features that come as standard with the vehicle.

Safety
The 2022 Ford Escape has been awarded a 5-Star Crash safety rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The standard safety features of the base model include an SOS Post-Crash Alert System, Halogen projector headlamps for better visibility, and a Personal Safety System™ with dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags. Other unique safety features include Ford’s Belt-Minder® for the front and second row, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC) for challenging weather conditions, and a SecuriLock® passive Anti-Theft system. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, and Dynamic Brake Support are other safety features available to the driver while they are behind the wheel. One may also choose to install Ford’s Co-Pilot360™ technology, which can help improve their confidence when driving on a crowded road. It does so by detecting and alerting the driver when they might be closer to a vehicle than they should.

Exterior
The new Ford Escape is designed to fit in when it comes to everyday travel. In terms of the design elements, Ford has installed an upper Grille in black, a body-color rear spoiler, and installed configurable Daytime Running Lamp (DRL). Dual chrome exhaust tips, skid plates, and a manual liftgate are other elements that enhance the overall look of the SUV. The new Ford Escape is available in various shades of red, blue, white, gray, silver, and black.
