2024 Ford Escape Review in Decorah, IA
The 2024 Ford Escape is a compact SUV that combines style, versatility, and technology to deliver a standout driving experience. With its sleek design, advanced features, and impressive performance, the Escape is a top choice for drivers seeking a reliable and efficient vehicle. In this 2024 Ford Escape review in Decorah, IA, we’ll explore the key features and benefits of this exceptional SUV and why you should consider visiting KAR Auto Group to explore its inventory.
2024 Ford Escape Performance
The Escape offers a wide range of powertrains, starting with a 181-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. The base turbo three gas engine, while somewhat grumbly and unrefined, provides adequate acceleration and managed to motivate an all-wheel-drive Escape SE to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds at our test track. Upgrading to the 250-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is the compelling choice and was powerful enough to score a 5.7-second result in the same 60-mph test. Both gasoline engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
2024 Ford Escape Interior
The Escape's cabin is handsomely styled and spacious for both front- and rear-seat occupants. Although there are some low-rent plastic panels in lower-end trims, the Escape's ST-Line and Platinum models look and feel more premium, but are still no match for the best-dressed interior in the segment belonging to the Mazda CX-5, Mazda CX-50, Kia Sportage and Honda CR-V. Textured cloth seat upholstery is standard, while the Platinum model receives convincing faux-leather seating surfaces as standard. Behind the Escape's rear seat is a capacious cargo hold that provides space for up to eight carry-on suitcases, which ties its crosstown rival, the Chevrolet Equinox. We fit 21 cases with the Escape's rear seats folded, but the Equinox held two more.
2024 Ford Escape Infotainment
Active and ST-Line models come with an 8.0-inch infotainment system, and can be optioned with the larger 13.2-inch touchscreen display that's standard on the Platinum and PHEV. Both screens run Ford's latest Sync 4 infotainment interface and offer Android Auto as well as wireless Apple CarPlay capability. The system accepts over-the-air updates and Ford says the Escape will automatically update itself, so the owner doesn't have to worry about using an outdated version of the software. A 10-speaker B&O Play audio system, in-dash navigation, a pop-up head-up display, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge display are all optional features.
2024 Ford Escape Safety Features
Safety is a priority for Ford, and the Escape comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features. These include standard forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. Optional features can add even more advanced safety technology.
