If you want proof that a compact SUV can be small in stature and big on technology and performance, check out the new 2024 Ford Escape at Friendly Ford. For 2024, the entry-level Base is eliminated, making the Active grade the lowest trim. Here is a quick recap of the new Escape.

Interior

The compact interior of the 2024 Escape SUV seats five people and flaunts impressive legroom in both rows to ensure comfort. In addition to a standard eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat and a manually adjustable front passenger seat, the Escape offers heated front seats to keep everyone cozy. It has plenty of storage space, including door pockets and a roomy cargo area measuring 37.5 cubic feet. Folding the rear seats increases the cargo compartment's volume to 65.4 cubic feet.

Technology

Enhance your cabin experience using the standard SYNC 4 or SYNC 4A infotainment system running on an 8.8- or 13.2-inch touchscreen display. The system is compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to make calls, browse the internet, and do other activities. Play your favorite playlists and podcasts throughout Las Vegas with the Bang & Olufsen sound system. A 360-degree camera to provide drivers with a bird's eye view of their surroundings completes its driver-assist tech features.

Performance

Two engine options power the 2024 Ford Escape. The base engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with an output of 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. Drivers who want more power can select the available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 250 horsepower and a torque of 280 pound-feet. Both engines mate with standard eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. For maximum tracking, you can also get the optional all-wheel drive.
