Notes from the dealer
Tech-centric buyers who demand maximum connectivity and smart features will find the Escape Platinum especially appealing. The SUVâs robust app ecosystem, including remote access via FordPass, lets owners start, lock, or locate their vehicle directly from their smartphone. For commuters in Sw Mt Vernon or those embarking on family trips, key conveniences like heated seats, a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, and a panoramic Vista Roof combine comfort and modern capability. This Escapeâs one-owner, non-smoker history also adds peace of mind for buyers seeking a well-cared-for, tech-forward vehicle.
Driving the Escape Platinum is equally modern, thanks to its EcoBoost 2.0L I4 GTDi DOHC Turbocharged VCT engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD. Electronic drive modes optimize performance for varying road conditions, while the AWD system ensures sure-footed traction in challenging weather. The digital cockpit provides real-time driving data, and electronic throttle response delivers smooth acceleration. Features like Intelligent Cruise and Active Park Assist 2.0 leverage digital controls and sensors, making daily drivingâ"whether in urban traffic or on scenic routesâ"more effortless and engaging.
Smart safety takes center stage in this SUV, utilizing an array of sensors, cameras, and AI-based processing to support safer journeys. Blind Spot Monitoring and Lane Departure Warning use radar and cameras to continuously monitor traffic, alerting drivers to vehicles in adjacent lanes or unintentional lane drift. Front and rear cameras provide a clear view for parking and reversing, while Adaptive Cruise with stop-and-go capability helps maintain safe following distances in traffic. Rain-sensing wipers and an emergency communication system further enhance driver awareness and response to changing road situations.
Premium Technology Package features elevate every drive, from the panoramic Vista Roof that brightens the cabin to the wireless navigation system that keeps routes updated in real time. Heated ActiveX-Trimmed Front Sport Contour Bucket Seats, memory seat functions, and dual-zone climate control add luxury and personalization. The B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen delivers crisp audio for all passengers, and Connected Navigation ensures up-to-date directions and traffic alerts. Power liftgate and keyless entry streamline daily routines, while the FordPass app offers remote vehicle controls and maintenance alerts.
Compared to tech-equipped competitors like the Toyota RAV4 Limited and Honda CR-V Touring, the Escape Platinum stands out with its larger infotainment display, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, and Bang & Olufsen audio.
Does the Escape Platinum offer wireless CarPlay and Android Auto? Yes, both are wireless, allowing instant smartphone syncing without plugging in. What driver-assistance technology is included? It features Adaptive Cruise, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Active Park Assist 2.0 for smart, stress-free driving.

Great SUV

Bought my car brand new February 2023. It’s a 2022 model sports package. Love the way it handles. rarely uses gas as I do mostly in town errands. Smaller than my previous Non plug-in Ford Escape, but actually like it that way. Backseat does fold down and plenty of rear cargo room. - 5.0

My Ford Escape is reliable and gets good mileage. I like driving this car because it drives like a car. I would buy an Escape again if only Ford did not stop production of this car. - 4.0

We have had our escape hybrid 5 years. I tell my friends you get free oil changes, tires and brake work for the life of the car. That's how much the savings in fuel amounts too! We drive 10,000 miles a year which add to the savings. The seats could be softer and ride smoother otherwise a great car!
