When you're looking for a 5-seater SUV with power and fuel efficiency, we at Richmond Ford West think of one vehicle in particular: the 2022 Ford Escape. With plenty of modern tech, a fun drive, and a comfortable interior, the Escape is your own little oasis while you're on the go.
We are excited to share this SUV with our friends around Glen Allen, Ashland, and Rockville, Virginia, in this review. Take a look below to learn all about it!
An SUV Focused on Performance
The 2022 Ford Escape has four engine options to choose from, each with an "eco focus." Two of the engines are hybrids: one plug-in and one not. The gas engines both have EcoBoost® and Auto Start-Stop Technology so that you can get the most out of your fuel.
The Ford Escape is a versatile vehicle. No matter which engine you choose, you'll get selectable drive modes with it. These drive modes let you customize your driving experience with options like:
- Eco
- Sport
- Normal
- Slippery
- Deep Snow/Sand
Front-wheel drive is standard for the Escape, and you can opt for the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, which supplies power to wheels when you need it.
Are you someone who wants to escape with family or friends for a weekend away? Bring along the boat towed to the Escape with its maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Inside the Escape
Space and comfort are two huge parts of the interior of the Escape. Even on long trips, everyone can relax and enjoy the ride without feeling squashed in. There's plenty of room for cargo, too-a total of 65.4 cubic feet.
Cloth seats come standard, and you can choose available ActiveXâ„¢-trimmed seats or leather-trimmed seats. Heated front-row seats are also available for chillier days.
To customize your vehicle throughout the day, the available interior ambient lighting system might be for you. When the vehicle turns on and the headlamps are switched on, the ambient lighting will shine in the following:
- Door map pockets
- Front and rear footwells
- Media bin
Technology Inside and Out
Technology is integral to the Ford Escape. Inside the SUV, you'll find a standard infotainment system with available SYNC® 3 technology and a touchscreen. Voice-controlled technology lets you keep your hands on the wheel while you:
- Make phone calls
- Get turn-by-turn directions
- Change songs
The infotainment system is not the only tech part of the Escape. Driver-assisting features help you stay safe while you're on the road. Standard features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, and Dynamic Brake Support help keep you safe in the event of a possible collision.
