Compact SUVs continue to grow in popularity and the Ford Escape is one of the top sellers. The Escape is now available with more powertrain options, additional storage space, and an upgraded infotainment system. Even with a lot of competition in its class, the 2021 Ford Escape has several unique features that make it stand out ahead of the rest.
1. Hybrid Powertrain Options
The 2021 Escape has a wider range of hybrid options than previous years, making it easier for you to get the trim you want with a fuel-efficient engine. Only the base S model does not have the option of being a hybrid. The SE, SEL, and Titanium trims are all available as hybrids. Plus, the SEL and Titanium models allow for a hybrid plug-in engine.
The addition of hybrid powertrains to almost every trim level makes driving a hybrid a viable option for many more customers. This is one of the best features of the 2021 Escape because now those who are looking to spend less on gas and minimize their carbon footprint are no longer limited to one model or trim. The Ford Escape lets you choose the powertrain that best suits you, for the trim with the right design.
2. Exceptional Cargo Space
The Escape is a five-passenger vehicle, with plenty of head and legroom for everyone to enjoy the ride comfortably. The trunk can hold up to 33.5 cubic feet of cargo and the versatility of the seats is what makes this compact crossover even more desirable.
When the rear seats are folded down you will get an additional 37.5 cubic feet of space. Combined this gives you a total of 65.4 cubic feet of storage space in this compact SUV. Compared to others in its class the Escape can hold a lot more, and the ability of the back seats to slide or fold, adds to its accommodating design.
3. User-Friendly Technology
The technology package for the Ford Escape gained more features in 2021, and the infotainment system was redesigned with the user in mind. SE trim levels and up come with an 8-inch touchscreen display and the latest Sync 3 interface. This display is quick to respond and the physical knobs for climate and audio control are conveniently placed.
Compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a smartphone app with access to vehicle telematics, the Ford Escape’s infotainment center has outstanding practicality. Other available features for the technology system include:
- 10-speaker stereo
- Satellite radio
- Keyless entry
- Remote start
- Push-button start
- Automatic climate control
4. Strong and Polished Drive
The Ford Escape is built with a solid suspension that will carry you gracefully over any bumps along the road. The steering is light with a firm grip around curves. FWD is standard but AWD is available for additional strength. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine with AWD on the Escape will give it a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds, very impressive for a crossover.
The Ford Escape encompasses all of the best features of a compact crossover SUV, and in 2021 more trims are available with a hybrid engine. Plus, the additional cargo space and upgraded technology system put this crossover SUV ahead of the competition.
