Gallery Our Opinion - 2022 Ford Escape Review In a market where compact SUVs are a dime a dozen, the Ford Escape stands out. Ford’s optional 2.0-liter supercharged provides strong acceleration, but the standard turbo-three has a difficult time delivering a smooth ride. In a hurry, every Escape feels like it’s gliding along at breakneck speed. Big effects can send tremors through the body, but the ride quality is good. Although the Ford’s cabin is spacious, it can’t compete with the Honda CR-expertly V’s packaged segment-leading design. However, the Escape’s sliding 2nd bench, which is given the overall to prioritise rearward visibility or cargo capacity, earns the vehicle extra points. A newer version of Ford’s Sync 3 touchscreen infotainment would be a welcome addition, as it’s intuitive and quick. Despite this, the interior materials feel shoddy. There is a lot of hard plastic throughout the vehicle, and the seats are uncomfortable due to the lack of padding and support. Overall, we appreciate the Escape’s convenience and passable handling, but there are more luxurious alternatives. The hybrid Escape is the way to go if you’re in the market for an Escape.

Leatherette upholstery, a power liftgate, heated and ventilated front chairs, and the dual climate control are included in this package. Also available as options on the Titanium are adaptive cruise control, a digital instrument panel, and premium audio.
