New Features
Ford continues to update its popular Escape SUV year after year to attract more drivers. For 2021, more Escape trim levels are available with the hybrid powertrain for environmentally conscious drivers. Adaptive cruise control and traffic-sign recognition join Ford's Co-Pilot360 Plus package, and the Technology package adds a hands-free power liftgate and memory settings for exterior mirrors and the driver's seat.
Design
Redesigned last year, the 2021 Ford Escape is at the top of its game. Featuring sportier lines, the exterior of the Escape features a swooping hood and windshield that offers a stylish look but also great sightlines for drivers.
Inside, the interior is designed for comfort. Features include a rotary gear shift dial that provides more space and comfort for the front passengers. The rear seats feature 60/40 fold-flat capability to increase the use of cargo space.
Performance
The 2021 Ford Escape is available with a wide range of powertrains. The standard engine is a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine that delivers 181 horsepower. It gets 7.9 L/100km combined fuel economy and features auto start-stop technology to help lower fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. It provides smooth acceleration and offers a confident ride.
Additional options provide more power, such as the 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds. The hybrid powertrain includes a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and two electric motors to produce 221 horsepower.
Infotainment
While the base Escape model only gets a 4.2-inch radio display and AM/FM radio, the higher trim levels of the Escape provide better infotainment options. A large 8-inch touchscreen display pairs with Ford's latest Sync 3 infotainment technology and offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Drivers can also download a smartphone app that offers remote access to vehicle data and remote start on all Escape models.
Safety
The 2021 Ford Escape is a great choice for drivers wanting a safe compact SUV. Co-Pilot360 is standard on all models and includes such driver-assistance features as forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist.
Ford also offers additional safety technology to keep drivers in command and knowledgeable about everything happening on the round around them, such as park assist, adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assist, and more.
With so many included features, the 2021 Ford Escape makes a great choice for individuals or families wanting a budget-friendly, spacious compact SUV.
