All the new Ford Escape models feature exterior LED lighting. On upper trim levels, an LED light strip also runs along the bottom of the hood to nearly meet the LED daytime running lights that encompass the narrow, angular headlights. Escape's big, bold front end has a rounded appearance graced by a large mesh grille and matching lower engine vent. A side view features a rear downward-sloping roofline, high open and flared wheel wells, and centrally sculpted door panels. The vehicle's rear is also slightly rounded and accented by sharp character lines and angles. Narrow taillights are lined with inverted C-shaped brake lights. The year also provides consumers updated wheel designs in 17- to 19-inch sizes.
Choosing an Escape from the ST-Line equips the vehicles near Centralia, MO, with black grilles and window surrounds. Body-color arches hover above each 19-inch black wheel. The rear end boasts a single-wing spoiler at the trunk level. Interiors gain sporty flat-bottom steering wheels and contrasting red stitching along the upholstery.
Base Escape models have turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engines that generate 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. The motors function in tandem with automatic eight-speed transmissions and front-wheel drive. Consumers near Columbia, MO, also have the option of choosing a model with an all-wheel drive. Turbocharged models capably tow up to 2,000 pounds.
Consumers can also choose a model equipped with turbocharged 2.0-liter inline, four-cylinder engines that deliver 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.

Selecting an SUV with a more powerful drivetrain enables the vehicle to go from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds while still delivering respectable fuel efficiency.

Curves and angles continue the inside to include the unique upholstery stitching patterns. The five-passenger interior of the newest Escape models on display near Macon, MO, provides adults with an abundance of head and legroom.

Infotainment systems feature Sync 4 technology that includes cloud connectivity. The units are controlled manually or using voice commands. Touch screens measure eight inches and enable users to select menus that integrate smartphones into the system, offer navigation information, or play tunes on the AM/FM stereo speaker.

Rear areas of each Escape come with 37.5 cubic feet of room for cargo storage. Folding the rear seats expands the space to 65.4 cubic feet.
Ford equips each new Escape model available near Mexico, MO, with a generous array of standard safety and driver assistance features. The SUVs are protected in the front thanks to the forward collision avoidance system that detects cyclists, pedestrians, or vehicles that pose a potential risk. The system includes automatic emergency braking when needed. From the side, sensors provide blind-spot monitoring along with lane-keeping assistance. A rearview camera and rear cross-traffic alert sensors help prevent collisions from behind. As sensors deem necessary, the headlights automatically switch between low and high beams to ensure adequate nighttime illumination.
