Ford Escape Model Selection

The Ford Escape offers four trim levels, so you can get this functional SUV in a model that meets your exact needs and budget. Here’s a look at how each of them stacks up against the other.

The S: The entry model into the Ford Escape family is the Escape S. It offers a 4-cylinder 2.5-liter engine, generating 168 horsepower with a six-speed automatic transmission. Driver and passenger front, side, and rear airbags and anti-lock brakes are standard, as are brake assist, traction control, and electronic stability control safety features. The Ford Escape S has cloth seating, keyless entry, an anti-theft system, and a backup camera. A hands-free communications system is also standard with wireless cell phone hookup and Smartphone integration and auxiliary audio inputs.

The SE: A step up from the S model, the Ford Escape SE switches up the engine to a 179-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder 1.5-liter engine, also with a six-speed automatic. It includes all the features from the S model, but adds dual-zone automatic climate control, satellite radio, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. You can also get the SE with all-wheel drive, and you can select the available panoramic sunroof with this model, as well as leather upholstery, heated front seats, navigation and the SYNC 3 infotainment system, and blind spot monitoring.

The SEL: The Ford Escape SEL brings the leather upholstery, SYNC 3 infotainment system, and a power liftgate as standard, as well as the heated front seats, power driver seat, navigation, and even a Wi-Fi hotspot. Remote engine start and rear parking assist are also standard, as are steering wheel controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The SEL uses the same turbocharged 4-cylinder as the SE model.

The Titanium: The top-of-the-line model, the Ford Escape Titanium, revs up the performance and features. Just about everything that is an optional addition in the other three trims comes standard with the Titanium, including an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 10-speaker Sony audio system, automatic parking, and a hands-free liftgate as well as satellite and HD radio. Cross traffic alert, electronic stability control, blind spot monitor and traction control are standard safety features on the Escape Titanium, and although it comes standard with the same engine as the SE and SEL models, the Titanium is the only model with the optionally available 245-horsepower 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine for a punchier level of performance. Further, the Ford Escape Titanium offers a special features package that adds such safety options as lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control with pre-collision braking.
