Versatility is an important feature in an SUV. Whether you're looking to fill the car with passengers or cargo, an SUV should be able to do it all. One SUV that West Point Ford feels captures the essence of versatility is the 2022 Ford Escape.
Our friends from West Point, King William, and Williamsburg, Virginia, can learn a bit about the 2022 Ford Escape right here. We've detailed some of the SUV's performance features, exterior style, and safety and driver-assisting features to show how flexible it is.
Ford Escape Performance and Capability
The Escape is powered by one of four engines:
- 1.5L EcoBoost®
- 2.0L EcoBoost®
- 2.5L Hybrid
- 2.5L Plug-In Hybrid
Three out of four engines top 200 horsepower, including the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine and both hybrid engines. For the most power you can get, you'll want the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine (which delivers 250 horsepower), followed by the 2.5L Plug-In Hybrid with 221 horsepower.
Front-wheel drive is standard with the Escape, although Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available and helps improve traction when road conditions or weather calls for it.
Want a weekend getaway or escape? The Escape can get you where you need to go, even if you want to bring the boat or some other gear. The SUV has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
2022 Ford Escape Exterior Style
The Ford Escape has a great combination of style and function. Sleek lines and an athletic build make the vehicle stand out among the crowd.
Plus, bold colors like the following provide options to help make the SUV truly yours:
- Agate Black Metallic
- Rapid Red Metallic
- Oxford White
The Escape also has a few versatile features that are part of the exterior. The available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate lets you open the liftgate with just a swipe of your foot under the bumper. You can even adjust the opening height.
Do you like a sportier look with your ride? The SE Sport Appearance Package might be for you. Ebony-painted aluminum wheels, black upper window molding, and black bumpers let your automobile stand out.
Safety and Driver-Assisting Features
Some of the most helpful features of the 2022 Escape are part of the Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ technology suite. This collection of driver-assisting and safety features set out to make your drives easier.
Some standard features in this suite are:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane-Keeping System
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
The Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking acts as a second set of eyes on the road. By keeping an eye on the vehicle ahead of you, it warns you of potential accidents and even brakes if needed.
The Lane-Keeping System helps you stay in your lane and warns you if you begin to drift unintentionally.
Want to change lanes but are worried about a vehicle in your blind spot? BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert warns you if there is a vehicle in the Escape's blind spot, whether you're changing lanes or pulling out of a driveway.
