Ford Escape S
To begin our guide to each trim level, we'll touch on features found in the Ford Escape S, also known as the base option.
What stands out most in this trim would be Ford's dedication to safety. With the standard Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ technology suite in place, your SUV will feature:
- 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
Next up is the Ford Escape SE trim, a favored choice for those who appreciate a customized and comfortable interior.
First, the driver's seat comes standard with 6-way manual adjustability, making it easy to settle into the right position. The seat can also be heated, which can help you make it through those chilly winter mornings in comfort.
If you're looking to adjust the cabin to fit either people or cargo, you'll appreciate the user-friendly second-row sliding seats that come with 60/40 split-fold down maneuverability.
The cargo space amounts to:
- 65.4 cubic feet behind the first row
- 37.5 cubic feet behind the second row
Escape SE Hybrid
The third trim would be the Ford Escape SE Hybrid, which is all about creating an efficient ride using modern technology.
With the hybrid engine, you can expect an EPA-estimated:
- 44 city MPG
- 37 highway MPG
The 2.5L Hybrid arrangement utilizes a 96kW electric motor and is mated to an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission.
SE Plug-In Hybrid
The SE Plug-In Hybrid trim for the 2022 Escape has similar performance outputs to the regular hybrid engine. However, it gives you access to a modest amount of all-electric range.
You can still prioritize capability while choosing the Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid powertrains, as both reach a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
This towing capacity lets you tow things like:
- Teardrop trailer
- Boat carrier with kayaks
- Personal watercraft
SEL, SEL Hybrid & SEL Plug-In Hybrid
Technically, there are three trims here, yet the main difference between each one is the powerplant you have under the hood. Beyond the engine, these trims share a lot of overlapping features.
To start, the ActiveXâ„¢ seating material is upscale and durable, with mini perforation to give it an added air of exclusivity.
Other additions include:
- Rear parking sensors, which help you avoid collisions at low speeds
- Halogen fog lamps
- 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat
Titanium, Titanium Hybrid & Titanium Plug-In Hybrid
Once again, three trim levels are divided by the engine under the hood. When you go for any version of the fully loaded Ford Escape Titanium, you're getting an SUV that's on the cutting edge of technology.
Active Park Assist 2.0 is a standout feature that can help you locate a parking spot nearby. Once you've pulled up close, the system will park your SUV for you, so long as you hold down the Active Park Assist button.
There's also the Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ Assist+ technology suite, which includes:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Evasive Steering Assist
- Speed Sign Recognition
