2021 Ford Escape Review

Ford Escape Interior Dimensions

The 2021 Escape offers lots of convenient cargo room. The trunk includes 33.5 cubic feet of space, but you can bump it up to 37.5 feet if you slide the back seats forward. If you need to load more, take advantage of the 60/40 split folding rear seats. With the seats folded down, the cargo hold of the Escape has a massive flat area with 65.4 cubic feet of space.

The cabin itself has plenty of room for everyone to kick back and relax too. Drivers will find lots of ways to get comfortable with power adjustable front seats. Meanwhile, your passengers will enjoy ample legroom and headroom, especially with the rear seats pushed back.

You'll also have a choice between numerous upholstery options, including genuine leather, and amenities like heated seats. Other interior features include a panoramic Vista Roof®, dual-zone climate control, and keyless entry with a push button start.

Ford Escape Engines and Power

The 2021 Ford Escape offers a full lineup of lively powertrains. It starts with a 1.5L EcoBoost® engine that gets up to 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. For more power under the hood, a 2.0L EcoBoost® is also available. It uses its 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque to tow up to 3,500 pounds. If fuel economy is your focus, you can opt for one of the two available hybrid powertrains.

Acting as both a family vehicle and a fun crossover, the Escape has the ideal combination of a cushioned ride and lively handling. The suspension moves over rough pavement without disrupting passengers, yet takes hairpin turns with the balance and poise of a sedan. Plus, with available all-wheel drive, it'll keep you in control in any conditions.
