2024 Ford Escape Review New Escape Hybrid
The 2024 Ford Escape is a small SUV that attempts to hit all the benchmarks of car ownership today. The 2024 Ford Escape Hybrid and Plug In Hybrid take that idea further with better fuel economy.
How do these compact SUVs measure up to today’s exacting requirements? This review seeks to answer your questions about the regular and hybrid Escapes. Plus it should fill you in on the Escape Active trim level and other 2024 model year changes.
What are the Escape Trim Levels?
The Escape is offered in Active, ST Line, ST Line Select, ST Line Elite and Platinum trim levels. The first two have a standard engine with a hybrid option. ST Line Select and higher trims have a more advanced Ecoboost engine with a hybrid option.
As the entry level edition, the Escape Active trim level comes packed with essential dash tech, Ford CoPilot 360 tech, and favorite amenities. The ST Line trim adds sporty features inside and out.
ST Line Select and Elite models add amore potent engine and take the style quotient to a new high. The Escape Platinum is a premium model with all the top amenities.
Providing the top amenities and an electric driving range, the Escape PHEV is the top of the trim ladder. It has an unbeatable combination of style, technology and performance.
What is Standard and Optional Infotainment?
The new Ford Escape has a bigger infotainment system, including an 8-inch color LCD instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen. Decorating the instrument panel, there’s special Ice Blue lighting.
For 2024, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now wireless. Every Escape keeps you cooler with dual-zone automatic temperature controls. Every driver can find a comfortable perch with an 8-way power chair. There’s a footrest for those times when adaptive cruise control is engaged.
Front and rear USB ports keep your smart devices charged. Higher trims add a wireless charger. The cockpit is less cluttered thanks to a rotary gear dial, an electric emergency brake, and push button start.
With a 12.3-inch instrument cluster screen and a 13.2 inch touchscreen, the cockpit reaches its most contemporary look ever. This compact crossover feels more like a racecar with these customizable screens to assist and entertain the driver.
What is the Standard Powertrain and Fuel Economy?
The 2024 Ford Escape has a 180 horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter 4 cylinder engine. An 8 speed automatic transmission helps control the turbo’s 199 lb-ft of torque.
Fuel economy is rated at 34 mpg highway and 27 mpg city (2023). It utilizes start-stop technology to reduce waste at long redlights.
If you measure this against a rival like the Hyundai Tucson, you’ll see lower numbers. 2024 Tucson FWD SUVs get only 32/25 mpg in city/highway driving. According to fuel economy.gov, the Escape FWD saves $750 over five years when compared to the Tucson.
What is Hybrid Performance and Fuel Efficiency?
The 2024 Ford Escape Hybrid increases output to 192 horsepower. The electric motor provides 155 lb-ft of torque. The interior doesn’t lose much space to its large battery pack. However, it is heavier than the regular Escape.
Escape Hybrids earn 40 mpg combined. That’s 42 mpg in city driving and 36 mpg highway. It has a 4-wheel independent suspension, a continuously variable transmission, and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
You can step up from the Escape HEV to the Escape PHEV. With the Escape Plug In Hybrid, drivers command 210 horsepower. It has a commute-worthy electric range of 37 miles. This remarkable ride claims 101 mpg-equivalent efficiency.
What are the Drivetrain and Performance Choices?
Front-wheel drive is standard on the PHEV, HEV, Escape Active and Escape ST Line models. However, all but the PHEV, also offer Intelligent All Wheel Drive. ST Line and higher trims have standard all-wheel drive.
These models utilize a 2-liter Ecoboost engine that generates 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The Escape Hybrid powertrain is still available as an alternative.
Standing tall, ground clearance is 6.9 inches for front-wheel drive editions or 7.5 inches for AWD editions. Tow ratings are 1,500 lbs (hybrid), 2,000 lbs (standard, and 3,500 lbs (2-L Ecoboost) with a tow package.
What are the 2024 Ford Escape Specifications?
As a compact crossover SUV, the Ford Escape is really quite spacious. Passenger volume is an ample 104 cubic feet. There’s 40 inches of headroom and 42.4 inches of legroom for the driver and front seat passenger.
Rear seat headroom is 39.3 inches and legroom is 40.7 inches. The Hybrid Battery reduces second-row legroom to 38.9 inches, which is still a good number for this ride. Sliding seats help passengers claim the maximum wiggle room.
As for utility, the cargo area measures an ample 37.8 cubic feet, edging ahead of the Toyota RAV4 with 37.5 cubes. Overall cargo volume measures 68.5 cubic feet.
Escape HEV models have a 34.5-cu ft hold and 60.8 cu ft overall. If you need something bigger than this, the Ford Edge is a logical choice.
What are the Exterior Colors, Style and Related Safety Features?
Exterior colors include familiar standards such as Star White, Iconic Silver, Carbonized Gray, and Agate Black. However, you can go for a more colorful hue with Vapor Blue or Rapid Red.
Wheels come in painted silver, ebony or rock metallic. Some have dark tarnished painted pockets on machined-faced alloys.
LED signature lighting includes LED Reflector Headlamps. The headlights have automatic high beams to allow the driver to focus on the road at night.
What are the Driver Assistance Features?
Ford Copilot 360 is a very thorough system of driver aids. Automatic emergency braking and audible warnings try to prevent forward collisions. This also assists with pedestrian detection dangers.
A driver alert, a lane-keeping alert, and a lane-keeping assist help Escape drivers avoid side collision dangers. The blind spot system includes a rear cross traffic alert with a related autobrake.
Plus all Ford models have post collision braking to slow down the SUV after impact. The SOS Post-Crash Alert System can send for help if necessary.
Among available driver assistance features, you’ll find Active Park Assist 2.0 and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control. You can get a head up display and rear parking sensors. Other optional features include speed sign recognition and evasive steering assist.
With so much on board the 2024 Ford Escape, Escape Hybrid and Plug in Hybrid, there’s a lot to explore. We recommend a test drive at Earnhardt Ford dealer Chandler AZ. Why not schedule now for a time behind the wheel?
