Before taking a model such as the Ford Escape for a test drive near Glen Allen, Ashland, or Rockville, VA, it's important to learn about the specific trim levels available.
Why? Well, each trim level comes with its own set of unique features and advanced technology. By learning about each of the Escape's trim levels, you can choose the model that has all the features you want!
To help, our team at Richmond Ford West has written a 2021 Ford Escape trim levels guide. Below, we'll cover all four regular Ford Escape trims, starting off with the base model.
Let's get started!
2021 Ford Escape S
The Ford Escape S is a popular choice since it comes loaded with technology and safety features. After all, there's nothing standard about this standard trim level!
For 2021, the Escape S comes armed with Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ technology, a suite of innovative safety systems. They include:
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
- Lane-Keeping System
- Rear View Camera
Ford Escape SE, SE Hybrid, SE Plug-In Hybrid
Next up, there's the Ford Escape SE and its hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. As you'll notice in the coming trims, each offering has a hybrid and plug-in hybrid version.
The Ford Escape officially offers four motors:
- 1.5L making 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque
- 2.0L making 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque
- 2.5L hybrid making 165 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque
- 2.5L plug-in hybrid making 165 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque
The 1.5L engine is standard, yet trims such as the SE allow you to enjoy the same lineup of features while picking the engine of your choice!
SEL, SEL Hybrid, SEL Plug-In Hybrid
Next up is the SEL, SEL Hybrid, and SEL Plug-In Hybrid. These Escape models make life a little easier during your daily activities.
On the practical side, there's the hands-free, foot-activated liftgate. With this available feature, you can easily load up some groceries or other belongings with the simple sway of your foot. Once you're in the driver's seat and pulling out of your parking spot, the Reverse Sensing System will alert you if you're getting too close to a nearby object as you're backing up.
Other SEL features include:
- ActiveXâ„¢ seating material
- Remote Start System
- Halogen fog lamps
Titanium, Titanium Hybrid, Titanium Plug-in Hybrid
The Ford Escape Titanium and its hybrid variants are the fully loaded trims for the 2021 edition. If you decide to go all out with the Titanium, you'll be receiving a technologically advanced SUV.
The safety is taken up another notch, thanks to Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ Assist+, which includes:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Evasive Steering
- Speed Sign Recognition
There's also the introduction of an automated parking feature called Active Park Assist 2.0!
