Is there going to be a 2024 Ford Escape?
You may have heard that Ford plans to discontinue the Escape in favor of its upcoming EVs. And although the automaker hasn’t made any official announcements to that effect, we won’t be surprised if the Escape is on the chopping block, along with the Edge and the Transit Connect. If you want a brand new Escape, now is the time to get one!
How comfortable is the 2024 Ford Escape?
Inside the Escape, you’re never short on comfort. These crossovers might fall into the compact category, but you wouldn’t know it based on the head- and legroom available in each row. The Escape is also a great choice for families who love to travel, because it offers an unusually roomy cargo hold, with 37.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats!
After a major refresh just last year, these Escapes are available as seven trim models: Base, Active, PHEV, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum. Each of these compact crossovers gives you a smooth, comfy ride, with lots of tech features (including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and safety aids (including blind-spot warning). But moving up the list of trim models can mean a very luxurious cabin, thanks to available features like ambient interior lighting, driver’s seat memory functions, and a 10-speaker premium sound system.
Is the 2024 Ford Escape fuel-efficient?
With both an available hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain, the Escape is a very efficient compact crossover! Escape PHEV models are the thriftiest choice, earning 101 MPGe in hybrid mode or 40 mpg combined in gas-only mode. But the Escape’s traditional hybrid engine, available for the ST-Line trim model and up, is also a great commuter, earning 39 mpg combined (42 city/36 highway).
Although availability depends on trim level, the 2024 Escape offers four engine options:
- Turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (180 horsepower, 199 lb-ft of torque)
- Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder (250 hp, 280 lb-ft)
- 2.5L hybrid four-cylinder (192 hp, 155 lb-ft)
- 2.5L plug-in hybrid four-cylinder (210 hp, 155 lb-ft)
