The 2022 Ford Escape provides most of what you’d expect of a small SUV, including a roomy cabin, helpful technology features and very comfortable seats. We think you’ll find it to be a perfectly serviceable small crossover SUV, and one that Ford can be proud of.

This SE AWD model is nicely equipped with cloth interior, power windows/locks/mirrors/seat, automatic headlamps, automatic climate control with dual front zones, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, Apple CarPlay, backup camera, alloy wheels, and an AM/FM/XM touchscreen with steering wheel controls, voice controls and USB inputs.

Your wallet will appreciate the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid engine, which gets fuel economy of 43mpg city, 37mpg highway according to the EPA. Besides the aforementioned rearview camera, standard safety equipment on the 2022 Escape SE includes blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert, a lane-keeping system, Ford’s AdvanceTrac with roll stability control, an SOS post-crash alert system that automatically flashes the hazard lights and sounds the horn after an airbag deployment, and a personal safety system with dual-stage front airbags, safety belt pretensioners, and energy-management retractors.
